State of Mozilla: Mitchell Baker - "Who is Mozilla?"

Mitchell Baker, Chief Lizard Wrangler & Executive Chair of Mozilla, talks about who Mozilla is, what we stand for and how the Internet becomes knowable, interoperable and ours when we all work together for the future of the Web.

We are global community with a common purpose

That is to build the internet that the world needs

How lucky is that?

How lucky are we to have Mozilla?

How lucky are we to be Mozilla?

How lucky are we to have an idea of what the future can be?

to see it, little vaguely, but to see it

And how lucky are we to be able to build it?

To have the opportunity to actually build something

To have people respond to it,

To have impact

And how lucky are we to teach that others are interested in what we are doing and want to learn?

And then others are interested enough to teach us in return

How lucky are we?

We do these things by building product,

by empowering communities

By teaching and learning

And by shaping environments

And of course, you know we do our best when these things are woven together into a single strand

No one else has both the vision that we do and opportunity to make it real

That is a unique ability today

And so, we need to touch more people

And we need more people to touch us

As Mozillians

And when we do that, we can make the internet

Knowable,

Interoperable,

Ours

And when we do that, we can be champions of a web where people

Know more,

Do more,

Do better

This is us

This is Mozilla
