Mozilla Education: Looking back and ahead

,----[ Quote ]
| Iâm currently working on putting together a 
| draft plan for Mozilla Education activities 
| in 2010. Iâm a bit blocked on coming up 
| with a coherent plan, so I thought Iâd try 
| to unblock myself by blogging my thoughts 
| on the subject. These are informed by the 
| recent feedback on Mozilla Education I 
| solicited from several Mozilla folks, as 
| well as the Mozilla Education 2009 report I 
| wrote earlier. Note that Iâm thinking out 
| loud here, so this will be somewhat long 
| and rambling.

In Which We Continue To Push The Sisyphean Rock Up The Hill

,----[ Quote ]
| Patents and copyrights don't mix 
| beautifully, either. If I own a copyright 
| on a gel box design, I can release the 
| design and "make the source code available" 
| - but if my neighbor owns a patent on it, 
| that neighbor can sue anyone who tries to 
| actually build the gel box. This is 
| something of a problem in software. But 
| it's a massive problem in science. 
| Especially life sciences, which are built 
| on patents as proxies for economic value 
| and create enormous employment 
| opportunities for attorneys as a result.
| 
| Data and databases are another place where 
| the underlying property regimes don't work 
| as well for open source as in software. But 
| that's difficult enough to merit its own 
| post. Suffice to say if Open Data had a 
| facebook page, its relationship status with 
| the law would be "It's Complicated."

,----[ Quote ]
| Today we are posting our audited financial
| statements and tax form for 2008. We have
| also posted our FAQ. As in past years, Iâll
| use this event as an opportunity to review
| both our financial status and our overall
| effectiveness in moving the mission
| forward.
