Since\u00a0 we announced Mozilla Service Week<\/a> (September 14 – 21, 2009) in June we’ve gained a lot of momentum and support.\u00a0 We’ve asked people to step up and make a difference by using the Web to better their community, and it turns out there are quite a few people who share our deep commitment and belief that everyone should have an awesome Web experience!\u00a0 Service work is nothing new for us either.\u00a0 The Mozilla community has a long legacy of volunteer work that has helped turn the Web around and we’ve already got 2,500 service hours pledged!<\/p>\n

The project has resonated with the current Mozilla community, as well as organizations in the non-profit technology, service and social entrepreneurship spaces.\u00a0\u00a0 We have a great group of new Mozilla Service Week “Friends<\/a>” who’ve signed on to help promote our service week to their communities.\u00a0 They’re bringing in a new energy and set of participants to the project!<\/p>\n
