Webmaker is all about teaching and learning the web. These calls are for the global community of teachers, informal educators, Mozillians, and everyday people making that happen. Share what you&#8217;re working on, get advice, and compare notes with other mentors around the world.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/WeeklyUpdates\"><b>Mozilla All Hands meetings<\/b><\/a>. These provide a high-level view of what&#8217;s happening across the entire Mozilla universe each week, including updates on Webmaker and other Mozilla Foundation projects.

Our community and projects have grown in size and scope. The Webmaker call began its life as a single &#8220;all-purpose&#8221; call, but now our various other projects are all grown up with community calls of their own.<\/li>\n<li><b>Because we want to provide better value to community<\/b>. Great community calls have a clear audience, value for participants, and clear set of outputs. We want to focus on the specific projects and pieces that community are most interested in.<\/li>\n<li><b>Because we want to level up contribution in 2014<\/b>. Growing our community and streamlining our on-ramps for feedback, co-building and contribution is a key goal. We think this improved design will help.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Nov 26 will be the final Webmaker Tuesday call<\/h3>\n<p><strong>But don&#8217;t fear!<\/strong> You can join the <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Webmaker\/Mentor\/Community_Calls\">Webmaker Mentor community calls<\/a> on <strong>Thursday, Dec 5<\/strong> and <strong>Thursday, Dec 19<\/strong> for your Webmaker community fix, without missing a beat.<br \/>\n<b>Got feedback or questions?<\/b> Please get in touch with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OpenMatt\">@OpenMatt<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/groups.google.com\/forum\/#!forum\/mozilla.webmaker\">Webmaker newsgroup<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mozilla works open.
