People who know Mozilla’s a non-profit, public-benefit outfit often wonder what they do with the cash they bring in. Seth Bindernagel breaks it down: Mozilla recently handed a $100,000 grant to the Participatory Culture Foundation, a non-profit behind a free, open-source video app that leans heavily on Mozilla tech.
Seth says Mozilla backed PCF with this grant for three reasons:
1. Their push for open source and open standards vibes perfectly with Mozilla’s mission to boost choice and innovation online.
2. They’re crafting something that could shake up how users experience web content, rich media, and desktop interfaces, all built on Mozilla tech.
3. PCF’s a prime example of the leverage Mozilla’s after; no venture funding, a tight budget, yet they’re finding clever ways to make a big impact on how users access web content.
Give Democracy Player a spin. it’s a pretty incredible piece of software!
