Time and again, Mozilla has proved its worthiness by supporting causes that strive to improvise the Internet and web standards. Its not just technocrats and IT Ninjas who could contribute to the Web. More than all of them , it is you and me who could be of greater use.
And Mozilla is allegedly the first to realize this. Apart from supporting projects on account of drumbeat, Mozilla has very recently, say a couple of months back, came up with a new concept – WebFWD – Web Forward, an initiative that aims to bring brilliant minds together to put out a Software Project – One that is really out of the box, that tries to answer the problems and improvises the Web Standards.
Workflow
- You and your friends have a really great idea, something original and true – you wish to bring a concept to the Internet that tries to answer problems of everyday Internet user and common man. Phew ! Great, you’ve crossed half the selection. Congrats.
- You apply for the Mozilla WebFWD here : https://webfwd.org/en-US/apply
-
If your project is really worth to be worked into, you are either put into a 4 Week BootCamp or 6 month Fellowship programme – Projects that are early in lifecycle get into a 4 week intensive BootCamp and those which are mature place themselves in 6 to 12 month Fellowship programme.
-
You go directly to Mozilla’s Offices. Work with Mentors from Mozilla, some of the greatest brains who’ve built the most friendly browser – Firefox.
-
At the end of your project tenure, you come out with the product, one hundred percent yours, just the way you wanted – “Internet – for the people, by the people.”
And both the programmes provide you 
- Chance to Work with Key Mozilla People
- Mentorship with leading experts from the world of Web
- Workshops on scalability and application security and development
- Access to Mozilla’s tools and resources
Isn’t it so much fun ? Got an idea ?!! Hey, what are you waiting for ? Register you team now ! https://webfwd.org/en-US/apply
