</div></div><p><a href="http://venturebeat.com/2013/06/03/foxconn-joins-firefox-os/" target="_blank">When Foxconn announced its support for Firefox OS</a>, it wasn’t kidding around.</p><p><a href="http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2013/06/21/2003565268" target="_blank">The manufacturing giant said this weekend that hopes to recruit 3,000 software engineers</a> to help it develop for Mozilla’s mobile operating system in its software center in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.</p>
<p>To put that number in context, the Kaohsiung center currently houses
300 workers, making the addition of 3,000 new employees a pretty massive
investment. (The company had initially expected to hire from 500 and
1,000 workers.)</p><p>As Foxconn said in a statement: “There will be no budget limit for fostering software talent.”</p><p>The move is an important one for Foxconn, which is moving away from
simply making devices for big foreign companies like Apple. instead, the
company is pursuing what it calls a “‘eight screens, one network, and
one cloud’ strategy,” which essentially means that wants to have a
greater role in both the hardware and software design of the devices
made in its factories.</p><p>To put it simply: The Foxconn of the future will be a very different beast from the one we’re used to.</p><br></div>
