about:mozilla is a weekly round-up of news and contribution opportunities. Here’s what’s happening this week.

Mozilla Foundation Launch Codes
In the last two months, we’ve launched many awesome projects and initiatives – so many, that it’s hard to keep track of them. Luckily, Erin Knight wrote a blog post in which she recaps which projects were launched and which ones are coming up soon. Make sure to read it if you want to know more about the upcoming Weekend of Code, Open Badger and Alpha Webmaker Badges and lots of other stuff.

Get a sneak preview at the new Australis tabs

Have you already seen the new Australis design? If so, we have great news for you. Thanks to Jared Wein, you can now get a sneek peek of the upcoming design update by downloading a special version of Firefox for Windows. You find the download links in his blog post. If you are on OS X or Linux, we’re sorry to tell you that it has only been implemented for Windows yet.

Introducing Thimble: Webmaking Made Easy
Yesterday, a new Mozilla Webmaker app was launched to the world called Thimble. It’s a new tool that makes it very easy for anyone to create and share their own web pages and other projects in a matter of minutes. It’s an intuitive visual editor that lets you write and edit HTML right in your browser, preview and correct your work, and then publish and share fully functional web pages with a single click. Read the official blog post and start making the web.

Story Camp Liftoff
On Thursday, the free online learning lab called Story Camp will hold its first livecast. Just yesterday we introduced the first new Popcorn template to the facilitators of the 27 youth centers participating in StoryCamp and fielded questions on the teacher’s guide. The guide includes tons of resources for educators and learners alike. You can read more about it in Laura Hilliger’s blog post.
