About

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" tht could be a great add to ones resume Chance to do internship at Mozilla Headqurters Get invited to the International meetings We would also be helping to shape the future of the web. Ok, I am interested. So, What Next?? Well there are different fields where one can contribute. You may contribute in one or more fields according to your capacity and interest. Visit the Documentations for new members/contributors to know more details about contribution areas.

WoMoz

As this is the month (March) of Women, we Mozilla Nepal will be organizing an event, Namaste WoMoz to launch WoMoz properly in Nepal by gathering some interested female contributors and briefing them about Women empowerment in ICT and how they can contribute/help in the growing community of Mozilla. We will also have other general community discussions.

We know that number of women in ICT sector in Nepal is really less compared to number of men. It is increasing gradually in current time but not as much as it needs to. Is it because they are too shy or is it because they are searching for some platform where they can start from base instead of jumping right into middle somewhere? If that is the reason then we present you this platform specially for women in Nepal. Platform called "WoMoz". An international platform which is a sub-community inside the big Mozilla Community which is working on gathering all female contributors under one umbrella and work unitedly as well as to gather new female contributors from around the world.
