I think this is very good input and discussion. We indeed need to strengthen the message. I've been thinking along the following lines:
*The motivation for Connected Devices and IoT* *The Internet of Things is the next chapter of the Internet. It will expand the Internet to new, exciting places and will revolutionize the way we interact with the world around us. It is very important that the Internet remains open and accessible. We want end users to have the freedom and security to enjoy it fully. Our principles (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/ <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/>) are thus as impactful as ever! Our mission is to enrich people’s lives, protect their privacy, and help the Internet stay an open and exciting platform for us all!* *......* *In all our projects, we will put the end user first. We aim to deliver an uncompromising, user first, Web-centric experience to end users. We will create and make available a set of products and platforms that promote the enjoyment, freedom, and security of the new Internet including the Internet as we know it today plus the Internet of Things.* *....* *The Internet of Things is a new frontier with a lot of promise but also with its challenges. On one hand, there are not yet prevailing business models, no established products or platforms, and not even a solid end user pull. But, on the other hand, technologies are developing fast, companies are making big investments, and focus in many of them is clearly on the Internet of things. It is exciting to envision all the new experiences this connected world will bring us while keeping in mind the new challenges that will come in privacy and security. It is indeed this intersection of opportunities and challenges that makes us firmly believe that it is the right time for Mozilla to make a strong entry to the Internet of Things --- to the next chapter of the Internet around us."* As I'm _clearly_ not a marketing person and also a man of too may words :-) , I've asked Porfirio to to start to work on this. I suggest we keep him closely in the loop. I believe we need to use element presented in this discussion to articulate why IoT is so important for Mozilla and for Web. But then, even more importantly, we need to deliver experiences and platforms that have impact. --Ari On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 5:12 AM, Michiel de Jong <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 11:25 PM, Katie Caldwell <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> + cd allstaff >> >> tif, I think this is the list you meant to include :) >> >> On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 2:16 PM, David Flanagan <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Here's my take on this important question: >>> >>> Our mission is to "promote openness, innovation and opportunity on the >>> Web".
