Flavour of the Month: Executive Director

| But irrespective of the meal (or being pumped about the Mozilla Foundation),
| I think this would be a good move for the Mozilla Foundation: Mark has
| buckets of experience on lots of open source-y stuff (he's currently “open
| philanthropy fellow” at the Shuttleworth Foundation - yes, that
| Shuttleworth), and has a blog called Commonspace (how cool is that?). And
| someone who chose to post a picture of himself in a beanie hat on said blog
| clearly has his heart in the right place....

Recent:
Firefox - a world record breaking open source project
,----[ Quote ]
| After many years of championing standards compliance, the icing on the cake
| for the volunteer developers at Mozilla has to be the fact that they can now
| rightly claim to be the most popular browser amongst the digirati. Why? The
| release of Firefox 3 on June 17 2008 generated slightly over 8,000,000
| downloads over a 24 hour period, propelling the browser into the Guinness
| World Records as the single most popular one day download ever.

How Can We Harness the Firefox Effect?
,----[ Quote ]
| Three things are striking about the recent launch of Firefox 3. First, the
| unanimity about the quality of the code: practically everyone thinks it's
| better in practically every respect. Secondly, the way in which the
| mainstream media covered its launch: it was treated as a normal, important
| tech story – gone are the days of supercilious anecdotes about those wacky,
| sandal-wearing free software anoraks. And finally – and perhaps most
| importantly - the scale and intensity of participation by the millions of
| people who have downloaded the software in the last week.
