Firefox OS takes proud in the way it is developed by empowering Web technologies and the Web’s principles of openness and competition at every layer of the stack. Mozilla has now revealed a Firefox OS contribution platform to accelerate the development of Firefox tablets and the supporting ecosystem. This will be made possible by giving dedicated contributors the access to resources and reference hardware, initially with tablets from Foxconn.

Those who wish to contribute to the Mozilla's development program should have a previous knowledge of Gecko/GFX, Gaia, UX, Productivity and Systems Apps. Then there is something called the "Firefox OS localizers" who can help in translating the tablet version of Firefox OS for global markets. Lastly and of course prominently will be the place for Testers and bug fixers for making the tablet reach the users in perfect shape. Mozilla will be updating the teams with Nightly builds too.
