Love the web like we do? Contribute to the [http://http://www.drumbeat.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=3]Open Web Fund[/a].

Mozilla is a global community of people building things that make the internet better, and more open. We work tirelessly to make the web better, because we love it. We believe that innovation, openness and participation are essential elements of the web and want to make sure that the web continues to provide raw material for new ideas, creativity, wealth and democracy.

The Mozilla community believes we can -- and must – keep the web open. That's why we build Firefox. It's also why we're starting Drumbeat, an invitation to teachers, artists, lawyers, filmmakers and other everyday internet users do things that will make the web better, and keep it open for the long haul.

This year, Mozilla Foundation has committed more than $1.5 million to Drumbeat, including the [http:///www.drumbeat.org/openwebfund/more]Mozilla Drumbeat Open Web Fund[/a] to support initiatives will grow and protect internet freedom. We hope that you will join us, helping us shape our ideas and grow this fund. You may be one of the innovators we support, be the contributor that helps make a project come to life or the supporter that gives the project the boost it needs to succeed.

If you love the web like we do, make a contribution of $75 or more to the Mozilla Drumbeat Open Web Fund and we'll send you the 2010 Mozilla T-shirt so you can wear your love for the dino on your sleeve. Designed through the Mozilla Creative Collective, this T-Shirt cannot be bought in stores and is only available to Mozilla donors.

About the Mozilla Drumbeat Open Web Fund

The Mozilla community's greatest achievement is the creation of the open source Firefox web browser. Building on our experience with Firefox, we believe that even more people can – and must – get involved in the cause of keeping the internet open. Artists, lawyers, teachers, filmmakers, anyone who cares about the future of the internet - these people have skills and creativity that can help make the open web stronger in very concrete ways. We've started Mozilla Drumbeat to make this kind of participation possible, and easy.

Ultimately, our goal is a strong, safe, open internet: an internet built and backed by a massive global community committed to the idea that everyone should all be able to freely create, innovate and express ideas online without asking permission from others.

Of course, we will make this in the same way we make Firefox -- using an open, participatory and global approach to build things that simultaneously make the web stronger and delight the people who use them.

What is the Open Web Fund?

Mozilla has launched [http://www.drumbeat.org/]Drumbeat[/a]: an invitation to everyday internet users to help keep the web open. This year, Mozilla Foundation has committed more than $1.5 million to Drumbeat, including the Mozilla Drumbeat Open Web Fund to support initiatives will grow and protect internet freedom.

The first goal with Drumbeat is to develop new ways for everyday internet users to participate in building a better internet. We believe hands on, participatory web projects are the best place to start. We'll back the best of these projects with modest seed funding and help recruit contributors through local events. We began experiments with this model in early 2010 and innovative open web [http://www.drumbeat.org/projects]projects[/a] and vibrant [http://www.drumbeat.org/events]local events[/a] are already starting to roll.

While this approach draws inspiration from other challenge-style programs, one thing is unique – projects have the opportunity to get going right away without waiting around to see if they have 'won' the challenge. Members of the drumbeat community can join, volunteer or vote for any project as soon as it has been created. Projects that gain community support move from emerging to featured status. Successful featured projects that fit closely with the Drumbeat mission will be considered for a grant from the Mozilla Drumbeat Open Web Fund.

The benefit of this approach is that participating projects can get value even if they never receive full support or funding. Also, there is an increased likelihood that funded projects will succeed as they have already developed a community and traction.

How you donating helps us to more. Right now we can only support so many projects. If you can support Drumbeat we can do more.

Working on the others this aft. Any imagery you can think of to add to it to gussy it up a bit?
We're using the drumbeat logo on Mozilla.org. Perhaps we could do the reverse and use the Mozilla logo here?
Chelsea any chance you could send me a text-only version of the copy you want for these pages? When I copy-paste out of Bugzilla it screws up all the line and paragraph breaks.
Will do!
All three pages have been created on Drumbeat.

Hey, David. I don't think we need this page?

I've created it on Drumbeat

Let's see what Chelsea says.  I'm in favor of reducing duplication in general.
