The document discusses Mozilla's philosophy on the internet and computing, emphasizing the importance of openness and user control. It highlights the shift from PCs to smartphones, indicating that user freedom is diminishing due to vendor lock-in and censorship. Mozilla advocates for a web-centered approach that maintains equality with native applications and promotes an open-source mobile operating system called Boot to Gecko.

6. Mozilla Manifesto
(excerpt)
- The Internet is a global public resource that
must remain open and accessible.
- The Internet should enrich the lives of
individual human beings.
- Individuals' security on the Internet is
fundamental and cannot be treated as optional.
- Individuals must have the ability to shape
their own experiences on the Internet.

7. Program or be
programmed
(a book by Douglas Rushkoff)
jeudi 14 juin 12

8. When humans beings acquired
language, we learned not just
to listen but how to speak.
When we gained literacy, we
learned not how to read but
how to write. And as we move
into increasingly digital reality,
we must learn not just how to
use programs but how to
make them.
jeudi 14 juin 12

9. In the emerging, highly
programmed landscape ahead,
you will either create the software
or you will be the software. It’s
really that simple: program, or be
programmed. Choose the former,
and you gain access to the
control panel of civilization.
Choose the latter, and it could be
the last real choice you get to
make.

10. In a PC world
- You have to pick a platform (Windows, Mac
OS, GNU/Linux)
- You create or buy or download software
- You use software
- Unhappy?
- Use some other software
- Patch it (if it’s Open Source / Free Software)
jeudi 14 juin 12

11. In a Web world
- Create/buy/install the software you want
- Use it in any browser, any device, from
everywhere
- No need to ask permission from anyone for
writing, deploying and using software!
jeudi 14 juin 12

12. In a Smartphone
world
- Pick a device (that comes with an OS and an
AppStore)
- Buy (or not) software that was allowed to be
featured in the AppStore. (Significant
censorship issues there)
- Want to patch? You’re out of luck. (Generativity
issue there).
- Switching platform? Out of luck too. (Vendor
lock-in)

13. 2012 is the year when
the smartphones will
outsell PCs

14. We’re entering a
world where:
- The end-users have less control than with PCs
and the Web
- Tinkering / hacking / programming / creating is
discouraged
- Vendor lock-in is more important
- Censorship is more powerful
