We are elated to announce that the new Community Portal is now live as an open beta at community.mozilla.org!

Our team has spent the last year working to develop this platform that we hope will provide Mozillians with a simple, flexible system for managing and growing communities, running events, finding activities and participating in campaigns!

We didn’t do it alone! More than 350 staff and community members contributed to this portal by joining calls, reading and responding to weekly updates, filing bugs and sharing ideas and feedback at every step along the way. We will continue to work over the next 6 months to add more functionality and features but we’re excited for you to create your profile and start adding groups and events.

What is the difference between my profile on people.mozilla.org, community.mozilla.org, and mozillians.org?

#4

Mozillians will transition over People Directory soon.

In the future we plan to integrate the Community Portal with the People Directory, so you don’t have to fill most of the details and they are fetched from there.

#5

Will the profiles migrate from mozillians.org with the transition?

#6

We want to migrate a portion, but planning is on going to see how to deal with inactive profiles.

#7

Community Portal updated stats (week 3)

  • 766 profiles
  • 65 groups
  • 25 events
