State of Mozilla: Introduction from Mitchell Baker, Chair

0:00:02.121,0:00:05.281
Mozilla's mission is to ensure that the Internet remains open

0:00:05.281,0:00:08.125
interoperable and respects user sovereignty.

0:00:08.125,0:00:14.506
We do this by building software that puts people in control of their digital lives, like Firefox.

0:00:14.522,0:00:20.501
We do this by empowering a global community of people who volunteer to champion these efforts.

0:00:20.516,0:00:22.791
Internet life is changing.

0:00:22.791,0:00:26.904
We're connecting through more devices. We're living in apps as well as browsers.

0:00:26.904,0:00:29.727
We're interacting with friends and followers and acquaintances.

0:00:29.727,0:00:35.589
We can experience the web through a highly personal, highly customized lens.

0:00:35.589,0:00:38.068
The challenges ahead of us are very real.

0:00:38.068,0:00:42.733
Mobile platforms are more closed and more centralized than we've seen in decades.

0:00:42.733,0:00:46.520
As individuals we're losing the ability to act on the web

0:00:46.520,0:00:50.106
without permission from large, centralized gatekeepers.

0:00:50.106,0:00:53.130
We're all being tracked, logged, cataloged,

0:00:53.130,0:00:56.635
monetized and turned into products to be sold.

0:00:56.635,0:01:02.217
We're seeing the univeral platform of the web fragmenting back into multiple different worlds.

0:01:02.217,0:01:05.803
As the Internet experience is changing, Mozilla too is changing.

0:01:05.803,0:01:10.301
The products and tools that we use to advance our mission are expanding and evolving.

0:01:10.301,0:01:12.971
A browser is necessary but not sufficient.

0:01:12.971,0:01:15.739
Equally important is expanding the number of people

0:01:15.739,0:01:19.215
who understand our values and identify as Mozillians.

0:01:19.215,0:01:21.983
Mozilla has both the challenge and the opportunity

0:01:21.983,0:01:24.360
to expand our reach dramatically.

0:01:24.360,0:01:27.307
We have the ability to bring our values to life in new ways

0:01:27.307,0:01:30.865
Embracing these opportunities means embracing change,

0:01:30.865,0:01:33.845
embracing hope and embracing determination.

0:01:33.845,0:01:39.811
This is how we will continue to give people ultimate authority over their digital lives.
