The mission of the Mozilla Project is to preserve choice and innovation on the Internet. We are the producer and provider of the award-winning Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email software, and are also expanding into Identity and Open Web Apps, and building an open web mobile operating system, B2G. We are an advocate for open standards on the Net, and provide tools for developing high quality web content and applications. We also provide software development tools used by hundreds of free software projects worldwide. The Mozilla Project in GSoC is a container for opportunities to work on Gecko (our core web standards engine), Firefox, Thunderbird, Calendar, SeaMonkey, our developer tools and other areas of the Mozilla project, using a wide variety of technologies and languages. We are also collaborating with the Mozilla-based instant messenger Instantbird and the C++-to-Javascript compiler Emscripten, with the latter giving students the opportunity to bring any C++ project to the web.

This year we have opportunities on our list using C++, Python, Django, JavaScript, XUL, CSS, SVG and more, and students are always welcome to submit their own ideas which align with our mission
