5. Everybody?
Everybody = *everybody*.
• The people formerly known as users.
• These people call themselves things like teacher, lawyer,
filmmaker, artist, blogger, web developer ... and journalists.
• They all can play a role in pushing the web in the right direction.
And many of them already are.They use Firefox.

Open web = the free, decentralized and
participatory parts of the internet.
• Free like free software. It’s transparent and remixable.
• Decentralized in both architecture and control.
• Participation is baked in.There are people inside it.

7. Innovation?
Innovation = new tools, practices and ideas
that push the web in the right direction.
• The Mozilla community builds the core technologies
that drive innovation and openness on the web.
• We also want people to implement and use
these technologies to the same ends.
