The Mozilla community doesn&#8217;t merely develop, test and localize software and documentation, but it also markets this software to the world.<\/p>\n<p>But marketing is perhaps the most diffuse and decentralized activity we undertake.  As the Mozilla collective continues to grow, more and more volunteers are stepping forward as marketing contributors.  That&#8217;s why we pulled together a guide to the resources available, to make it easier for people to join in marketing activities, and to start their own.  The guide will evolve over time -indeed, we will be adding to it constantly, and look forward to plenty of feedback.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/files\/2009\/02\/community_marketing_guide.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-407\" title=\"community_marketing_guide\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/files\/2009\/02\/community_marketing_guide.png\" alt=\"community_marketing_guide\" width=\"595\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blogarchive\/files\/2009\/02\/community_marketing_guide.png 595w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blogarchive\/files\/2009\/02\/community_marketing_guide-300x151.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAt the moment it has details of how people can get involved by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Organizing and Attending Events<\/li>\n<li> Public Speaking<\/li>\n<li> Blogging, Tagging and Social Networking<\/li>\n<li> Advertising Mozilla<\/li>\n<li> Making T-Shirts and Other Items<\/li>\n<li> Guerrilla Marketing Activities<\/li>\n<li> Collecting Testimonials<\/li>\n<li> Distributing Software<\/li>\n<li> Understanding Our Users<\/li>\n<li> Promoting the Mozilla Mission<\/li>\n<li> Collecting Press Clippings<\/li>\n<li> Speaking to the Press<\/li>\n<li> Requesting Sponsorship for a Project<\/li>\n<li> Reporting Disreputable Behavior<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The guide is located on <a href=\"http:\/\/contribute.mozilla.org\/Marketing\">Mozilla&#8217;s community portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s an amazing thought that the hundreds of millions of users of Mozilla software have (in almost all cases) found out about it by word-of-mouth, through their friends and acquaintances. &hellip; <a class=\"go\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blogarchive\/blog\/2009\/02\/25\/the-mozilla-community-marketing-guide\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
