Mozilla Launches An Incubator Program For The Open Web
Mozilla wants your help in keeping the web innovative and open.Today, the organization is launching a new program designed to help spur projects that focus on open web technologies. The initiative is calledWeb FWD(pronounced Web Forward), and invites teams to spend four weeks working in Mozilla offices, where they'll learn from top experts in webtechnologiesand have access to Mozilla resources. Applications are now being accepted, and thefirst group of teams will begin working from Mozilla offices in August.Pascal Finette, who heads Mozilla Labs, says that the project was inspired by the success of programs like Y Combinator " though there are plenty of differences. Unlike YC, which takes a modest equity stake in participating companies, Mozilla's not out to make money. In fact, all code written during the four-week program must be open sourced (teams can later fork their code and continue to build their project into a business if they'd like " Mozilla will even make the VC introductions). Mozilla will also consider giving promising products that stick with the open-source model additional funding and resources.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/NcusPEcUnwg/
