Mozilla and China

As soon as the term started in September, we (Mozilla Online) immediately went about looking for campus ambassadors who share the passion for open internet, innovative technology, and Firefox, and who can help spread Firefox on the campus. We have so far named four ambassadors for the following universities: Nankai University in Tianjin, BUAA (or Behang), Tsinghua University, and Peking University. As the first public event, last Saturday we sponsored the annual student festival at Tsinghua’s Institute of Software. Tomorrow (12/7) evening at 7:30pm Jia Mi will speak on Firefox technologies and Firefox 3.0 at BUAA. For a glimpse of the ambassadors, refer to http://mozillaonline.com/marketing/amba-show.html. Those interested in becoming an ambassador for Firefox can check out http://mozillaonline.com/marketing/ambassador.html for more program details. I should note that given that we are in China, these events (including various information such as announcements and reports) will be primarily in Chinese.
