Mozilla Taiwan (MozTW) is an local communities that promote and deploy Mozilla products in Taiwan. They are also member organization of Mozilla Localization Project, responsible for localize, as of 2009, Chinese (traditional, Taiwan) version of Firefox, Thunderbird and various Mozilla products and websites.  Mozilla Taiwan was founded in September 2004. It is independent of the Mozilla Foundation, and is not affiliated with them, though received much support from foundation through Mozilla Japan, the Asia division of Mozilla. It's noted that although the products they localized are intended for Taiwanese users, other Traditional Chinese users, including some people from Hong Kong and oversea communities still rely on such localization, since there are currently no other Traditional Chinese localized versions available. [edit]Promotion Projects

Among Taiwanese FOSS communities, Mozilla Taiwan is known for developing user-orientated promotion projects and events rather than focusing activities for developers and power users. Recent feature promotion projects, as of 2009, include IE8 promotion parody on April Fools', GFX: the personal product page platform , and presence of MozTW's own Foxmosa — the Firefox mascot of Taiwan — around social mediums (e.g., Foxmosa on Twitter).
