Mozilla Drumbeat

Drumbeat is a global community of innovators like you, building a more awesome web and world. Connect with others. Find projects that need your help. Or share your own.

Mozilla is all about shaping the future of the web for the public good. With Drumbeat, we’re moving beyond Firefox to build more things that make the web better, not just software. We're doing that by reaching out to new kinds of people – educators, filmmakers, journalists, scientists, artists – to work together on open projects and design challenges that build a better web and world. We did that with Firefox. Now we want to do it on a broader scale, with new projects and people like you.

What areas does Drumbeat focus on?

Open collaboration on projects that matter. In areas like education, media, science, accessibility — or your own personal passion or area of expertise. You can check out featured Drumbeat projects like:

WebMadeMovies — bringing filmmakers and hackers together to invent the future of video. Universal Subtitles — creating subtitles and captions for every video on the web. The School of Webcraft — peer-based web developer training that’s free, open, and globally accessible. Learning, Freedom and the Web – a global community of educators and hackers reinventing the future of learning. Batucada — Designing and developing drumbeat.org as part of the social web, together. New media and science projects – coming soon.

How does Drumbeat make the world better?

Through open web tools and thinking. Applied to your personal passion or project. Mozilla believes the internet is a shared public resource and force for good. If we care about the web's future, we need a diverse range of people involved in shaping the web in their world – especially those trying to disrupt and innovate.

Drumbeat provides open web tools and thinking to help do this. And connects innovators in areas like education, media and science with smart hackers and technologists. The result? Drumbeat helps you build new projects the same way Mozilla built Firefox – by working in the open, collaborating through open web tools, and enabling participation from contributors around the world.
