Next gen communication and information technologies create new opportunities for everyone in our communities. They enhance what we can create, share and learn. They help create a bigger surface area for the mind.

Mozilla is launching a fund to support innovators in Kansas City and Chattanooga and those who want to work with them.

The Mozilla Gigabit Community Fund is a progression of the Mozilla Ignite Challenge and looks to move from gigabit prototypes to Minimum Viable Pilots by deepening a community of practice based around these two communities.

Bonus: The Mozilla/US Ignite Community is about to grow by three! We are looking to hire three new people to join the internal Mozilla team working on US Ignite and the Mozilla Gigabit Community Fund.
