Join us this Wednesday for the return of Air Mozilla – the live “call-in” show featuring influential Mozilla contributors from all over the world.

This second inaugural broadcast will feature Mitchell Baker, Chief Lizard Wrangler and CEO at Mozilla.

Mitchell will be talking about the state of the Mozilla project, and she will be taking questions from our audience via email, IM, and IRC.

Who: The Mozilla community, host Asa Dotzler, and special guest Mitchell Baker.
When: Wednesday, July 11, from 2pm – 3pm Pacific Daylight Time (UTC -7.)
Where: View the live webcast at air.mozilla.com and participate on IRC, IM, or email.

• IRC: join the discussion on irc.mozilla.org #airmozilla
• IM: instant message your questions to the AIM/YIM/GTalk screenname airmozilla.
• Email: send in your questions before and during the show to airmozilla -at- mozilla -dot- com.

We’re hoping to make Air Mozilla a regular feature and to broaden the format to include not just interviews, but screencasts with tips and tricks, news segments, and other community generated content.

Join us for the relaunch this Wednesday and help us shape the future of Air Mozilla!

It’s a truism* at this point in the 21st century to say that we’re living in an ever more connected world.

In the Mozilla context, it’s particularly true that we often take for granted working as part of a global team. In the mornings, California time, the marketing staff in Mountain View will meet up with Tristan, Pascal and Anne-Julie from Mozilla Europe.

Towards the end of our work day, we will catch up with Gen and Kaori at Mozilla Japan. Countless other interactions happen every day online for the development and localization teams working to release Firefox in dozens of language versions. (All of the non-US English versions of Firefox are localized by volunteer contributors.)

International collaboration is part of Mozilla’s DNA.

So it wasn’t a surprise to us when the Mozilla Japan community recently came together to host a full day developer event in Tokyo, and, well, it rocked. Check out Gen Kanai’s wrap-up post, with links to photos, presentations and reactions from bloggers in Japan and elsewhere.

If getting involved as a volunteer with Mozilla sounds interesting, it’s easy to learn more. You can visit our directory of ways to get involved, or, if you’re using Firefox, click on the pre-installed bookmark called “Get Involved” in the “Mozilla Firefox” bookmarks folder.

Congratulations and thanks again to the Mozilla Japan team for hosting a terrific Firefox Developer Day event.
