At Mozilla, he is focused on using the open technology and ethos of the web to transform fields such as <a title="Creating a web literate planet (summary)" href="https://commonspace.wordpress.com/2011/10/05/mozilla-learning-summary/">education</a>, <a href="http://mozillapopcorn.org/">journalism</a> and <a href="http://mozillapopcorn.org/">filmmaking</a>. Mark has overseen the development of <a href="http://mozillapopcorn.org">Popcorn.js</a>, which Wired has called the future of online video; the <a href="http://openbadges.org">Open Badges</a> initiative, launched by the US Secretary of Education; and the <a href="http://knightmozilla.org/">Knight Mozilla News Technology Partnership</a>, which seeks to reinvent the future of digital journalism.</p> <p>Prior to joining Mozilla, Mark was awarded one of the first <a href="http://www.shuttleworthfoundation.org/fellows/mark-surman/">Shuttleworth Foundation</a> fellowships, where he explored the application of open principles to philanthropy. During his fellowship, he advised a Harvard Berkman study on open source licensing in foundations, was the lead author on the <a href="http://www.capetowndeclaration.org/">Cape Town Open Education Declaration</a>, and organized the first open education track at the iCommons Summit, which led to him becoming a founding board member of <a href="http://p2pu.org">Peer-to-peer University</a> (P2PU).</p> <p>From 2005 to 2008, Mark served as the founding Managing Director of <a href="http://www.telecentre.org/">telecentre.org</a>, a $26M initiative to connect 1000s of community technology centres around the world supported by Microsoft, Canada’s International Development Research Centre, and the Swiss Development Corporation. While at telecentre.org, Mark spoke at the first World Summit on the Information Society, provided the keynote at the Global Knowledge Partnership Summit, and built a global network of community computing centres that spanned over 25 countries.</p> <p>As a consultant and social entrepreneur, Mark has designed and implemented community-driven technology projects for dozens of organizations ranging from the Government of Canada to the <a href="http://apc.org">Association for Progressive Communications</a> to the Canadian Labour Congress. He has raised more than $30M, authored two books, presented at 100+ conferences, written dozens of papers, and traveled to more than 40 countries. Despite his travels, his favourite place remains the armchair next to the fireplace in his living room.</p> <p>Mark holds a BA in the History of Community Media from the University of Toronto. He still lives in Toronto but travels widely.</p> </div> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing"><h3 class="sd-title">Share this:</h3><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-facebook"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-facebook-2" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon" href="https://commonspace.wordpress.com/about/?share=facebook" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Facebook" ><span>Facebook</span></a></li><li class="share-x"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-x-2" class="share-x sd-button share-icon" href="https://commonspace.wordpress.com/about/?share=x" target="_blank" title="Click to share on X" ><span>X</span></a></li><li class="share-end"></li></ul></div></div></div><div class='sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-post-wrapper-336759-2-6741e193d9383' data-src='//widgets.wp.com/likes/index.html?ver=20241123#blog_id=336759&post_id=2&origin=commonspace.wordpress.com&obj_id=336759-2-6741e193d9383' data-name='like-post-frame-336759-2-6741e193d9383' data-title='Like or Reblog'><div class='likes-widget-placeholder post-likes-widget-placeholder' style='height: 55px;'><span class='button'><span>Like</span></span> <span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class='sd-link-color'></a></div></div>  <h3 id="comments"><span class="sep">§</span> 65 Responses to <em>Mark Surman</em></h3> <ul class="commentlist"> <li class="pingback even thread-even depth-1" id="comment-145"> <div id="div-comment-145" class="comment-body"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <cite class="fn"><a href="http://igniter.com/post225" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">IGNITER » The parallels of Web 2.0 with the Open Source and Social Innovation threads</a></cite> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata"> <a href="https://commonspace.wordpress.com/about/#comment-145">September 30, 2008 at 2:52 am</a> </div> <p>[…] appears to be a an experiment in seeing how these two memes both converge and diverge.

Most people know Mozilla as the host for the community that co-produced the open browser Firefox. Firefox currently accounts for approximately 25% of the web browsers in use. More importantly Firefox is free software, free for anyone to copy, modify, improve and share. While there are other free browers such as Opera and Google’s Chrome for many years it was Firefox which provided the standards complaint alternative to various non standards compliant versions of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. With Firefox use on the rise Drumbeat is intended to ensure support an open Internet in other areas, the projects long term vision is “make sure the internet is still open, participatory, decentralized and public 100 years from now”. Focus in the first year of Drumbeat is on concrete projects to bootstrap the creation of a community: visualising the Web and assembling an Open Webskills course at P2PU. As fascinating as these are what is more intriguing is the way in which Mark, and Mozilla are using the social processes which helped create great free and open source projects like Firefox as a way of generating not just more open projects but ideas about openness.

I was really interested in the work you presented that Mozilla facilitated with the young filmmakers from Bay Video helping them to think web and enhance their films for an online experience. </p> <p>I run a national young people’s film festival here in the UK called Kids for Kids UK which is part of an international film festival movement that was originally started in Montreal. I have been running the festival for 3 years now and am looking at ways we can programme the competition element of the festival online this year to keep costs to a minimum and make it more engaging. Who can I talk to in Mozilla about this as I would love to explore some of the tools that you demontrated; particularly the maps as it would help place the filmmakers in their towns and cities. </p> <p>We also have an international programme alongside the national competition so I can see how this would also work brilliantly as an international youth film festival/competition.</p> <p>I look forward to hearing from you. Not sure how else to get in contact with you other than via your blog. I did hang around at the conference but you were deep in conversation so I lost my chance!! darn!!</p> <p>Best Wishes<br /> Helen Ward</p> <div class="reply"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/about/?replytocom=5803#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm( 'div-comment-5803', '5803', 'respond', '2' )">Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="pingback even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="comment-5804"> <div id="div-comment-5804" class="comment-body"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <cite class="fn"><a href="http://www.cbc.ca/spark/2012/01/spark-170-january-29-february-1-2012/" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Spark 170 – January 29 & February 1, 2012 | Spark</a></cite> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata"> <a href="https://commonspace.wordpress.com/about/#comment-5804">January 27, 2012 at 10:34 pm</a> </div> <p>[…] Mark Surman […]</p> <div class="reply"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/about/?replytocom=5804#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm( 'div-comment-5804', '5804', 'respond', '2' )">Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment odd alt thread-even depth-1" id="comment-5842"> <div id="div-comment-5842" class="comment-body"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/abab81ff79abc7a2bf276b01b18fd9849df70cb628d3f4f9da55866d7fd1c8ea?s=32&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/abab81ff79abc7a2bf276b01b18fd9849df70cb628d3f4f9da55866d7fd1c8ea?s=32&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/abab81ff79abc7a2bf276b01b18fd9849df70cb628d3f4f9da55866d7fd1c8ea?s=48&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/abab81ff79abc7a2bf276b01b18fd9849df70cb628d3f4f9da55866d7fd1c8ea?s=64&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/abab81ff79abc7a2bf276b01b18fd9849df70cb628d3f4f9da55866d7fd1c8ea?s=96&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://1.gravatar.com/avatar/abab81ff79abc7a2bf276b01b18fd9849df70cb628d3f4f9da55866d7fd1c8ea?s=128&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-32' height='32' width='32' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> <cite class="fn"><a href="http://Krueger" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Audra</a></cite> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata"> <a href="https://commonspace.wordpress.com/about/#comment-5842">January 31, 2012 at 3:57 pm</a> </div> <p>Hi Mark, </p> <p>I work at the University of Saskatchewan and I’m part of a group of co-operative organizations that are having a conference to celebrate the UN declaration of “2012 as the year of the Co-operative”.

I saw your pic on a panel discussion for subtle technologies and I was not sure if you were my producer for SHE TV until I did a search- Just to say thank you as it inspired me to go out in the world to make change<br /> <a href="http://www.thismagazine.ca/issues/2007/03/carolmark.php" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.thismagazine.ca/issues/2007/03/carolmark.php</a><br /> I connected with women in Afghanistan just after 9/11 after hooking up with them on Internet where they came to Toronto just 3 months prior to 9/11 with hidden footage of a woman being executed in Kabul stadium. I traveled there in secret, arranged first civilian humanitarian airlift and opened a girls library plus I helped out with aid elsewhere. The last piece I filmed and donated was Leonard Little Finger direct descendent of Chief Big Foot who was massacred at Wounded Knee- help build school. What I learned from SHE TV made a difference and now recovering from poor medical care- I was told I did not have breast cancer and went to US for double mastectomy and chemo I am back to advocate better care for Canadians. Just sponsored a conference last year with 8 Ontario hospitals and the firm who built Mayo Cancer Clinic to share best practices.<br /> Right now looking at Internet to empower patients for better care.<br /> <a href="http://roadmapforchange.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow ugc">http://roadmapforchange.wordpress.com</a></p> <p>I would appreciate any advice on what I can do to make change in this area, frankly negotiating with the Afghan government in 3 countries is easier than making people accountable here in Canada.</p> <p>Thanks for making a difference in my life and all those communities. My friend who was active in breast cancer and finishing PhD on online learning and made these connections in Afghanistan died and in her memory I used Internet by connecting Dilmah Foundation and sponsored an event in her name to sponsor 4000 mammograms and breast self exam in two languages in Sri Lanka.
