Mozilla Reps

Mozilla Reps

The Mozilla Reps program aims to empower and support volunteer Mozillians who want to become official representatives of Mozilla in their region/locale.

The program provides a simple framework and a specific set of tools to help Mozillians to organize and/or attend events, recruit and mentor new contributors, document and share

activities, and support their local communities better.

We are a group of volunteers  working on supporting the Mozilla Project in any ways we can.

There are already many contributors working individually by developing for Mozilla from Nepal too. But, there are even more capable and interested people here.

Our main focus is to gather such people and show them proper path to accomplish their targets. And our other objective is to contribute to Mozilla Project as a team, as Mozilla Nepal, instead of individual contributions.

Also, we strongly support FOSS!!

Who can join Mozilla Nepal?

Anyone. Just show that you are interested to dedicate some of your time, even if it is just for 5 minutes.

As you already know, this is a volunteer only group, so we do not force you to join the group. Or, even after you join the group, we do not force you to work compulsorily.

Just work with your interest whenever you feel like it.

What are the advantages of contributing for Mozilla Project?

• We Get to be part of a Global community, that is working for a cause - making the internet better and tell everyone that "Internet is a Public resource"

• Learn Grass root skills(it can be any area)- you can directly chat with anyone one from Mozilla Headquarters, attend meetings and share the ideas that they have

• A global platform to learn and experiment on, people have the freedom to work on almost anything and everything and it could be the next big idea at Mozilla(a add-on, an event, a poster design, a creative project ..anything!)

Get to meet like minded people from around the world and can be great friends.

Get a "Letter of recommendation" that could be a great add to ones resume

Chance to do internship at Mozilla Headquarter.

Get invited to the International meetings. We would also be helping to shape the future of the web.
