As an open-source developer, you have many choices as to where to host your projects. For those familiar with our open-source, off-the-shelf tooling, the administrative learning curve is reduced when starting a new project. For those not familiar with our tooling, your learning experience is reusable across the open-source community in general. Mozdev wants to be your hosting provider for all of your Mozilla-related projects. Here's why we think we're the best choice.
