Event: Helping others / Mozilla Service Week
From: The SourceForge.net Team
Helping others – it comes naturally to people who write open source
software. Now the Mozilla Foundation is trying to employ the power of the
community in a more direct and hands-on way during Mozilla Service Week
(http://mozillaservice.org/learn_more/volunteer/en_US).
During this week, Mozilla (and SourceForge) encourage you to volunteer in
your community. Tech savvy folks can apply their skills in a variety of
ways. Some ideas from the foundation:
. Teach senior citizens how to use the Web.
. Show a non-profit how to use social networking to grow its base of
supporters.
. Help install a wireless network at a school.
. Create Web how-to materials for a library’s computer cluster.
. Refurbish hardware for a local computer center.
. Update a non-profit organization’s web site.
Organizations and projects that need assistance can also register to get
help.
As a company and as individuals, we at SourceForge will be participating in
Mozilla Service Week. We encourage you to get out there in your own
community and make a difference!
