Heading to Mozilla Summit, Whistler 2008
Some weeks ago, I was greatly surprised to receive a kind invitation from Mozilla to join the Mozilla Summit 2008, the great all-Mozilla meetup at Whistler, BC. To say I’m thrilled to meet some of the great good guys who make the Mozilla project a reality is an understatement.
But, as usual I’ve waited ’til the very last moment to share this with you (I’m at Philadelphia waiting for my 6 hours connection to Vancouver, after a 4 hours ride from San Juan, Puerto Rico), but hopefully I will be able to share some of the experience of talking about the future of Mozilla and even a release with you all, as Firefox 3.1 alpha 1 is expected to be released tomorrow, driven by Mike Beltzner, directly from Whistler.
So, what do you want to know? If you’ve ever wished to be there at some Mozilla event to learn or ask someting please let me know and I’ll do my best to get it for you.
Mari, Percy, and Cami, I already miss you! :(
Nobox Firefox 3 Victory Party @ San Juan, Puerto Rico
Lucky me, the kind people of Nobox, the design firm behind some of Firefox related art including the robot series, will be hosting a Firefox 3 party this Saturday, June 21 at Telemundo studios in Roosevelt Ave., San Juan.
Looking forward to meet a lot of local Firefox fans there and share ideas for promoting Firefox locally.
El sábado a las 8 en Telemundo!
Look for a party near you at Mozilla Party Central.

Happy 10th Anniversary Mozilla!
Ten years ago, following an astonishing announcement on early January, Netscape opened the source code of Communicator 5, Netscape’s suite of Internet applications, effectively starting the Mozilla Project.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (March 31, 1998) — Netscape Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:NSCP) today announced that the first developer release of its Communicator 5.0 source code is available for download from the mozilla.org Web site. Targeted at the developer community, this unprecedented release of the client source code promotes acceleration of the evolution of Communicator 5.0 development by allowing the company to harness the creative power of thousands of programmers on the Internet, incorporating their best enhancements into future versions of Netscape’s software. This strategy is designed to accelerate development and distribution of future high-quality versions of Netscape Communicator to business customers and individuals, further seeding the market for Netscape’s enterprise solutions and Netcenter business.
Over the next years, much of the code would be completely rewritten, and Netscape, the product would eventually die; but Mozilla, the community of developers, testers and users, was already founded and it wouldn’t go away. The original suite still lives in SeaMonkey and more than 100 products based on Mozilla technologies are around.
To all who in some little or big way keep this project alive and healthy, Thanks & Cheers!
Update: On Mitchell Baker’s take on the 10th anniversary, she comments on the future:
The next ten years have challenges and opportunities equal to those of our first decade. The Internet is now interwoven into modern life, and it will certainly grow to be more powerful. There’s no guarantee that it will remain open or or enjoyable or safe. There’s no guarantee that individuals will be able to participate in creating or (for the general non-technical consumer) effectively managing their experience. There’s no guarantee that there is an effective voice for individuals benefiting from the increased power of the Internet.
Mozilla can and should fulfill this role. But not as a guarantor. Mozilla is an opportunity for people to make this vision happen. Mozilla is about opportunity and participation.
Mozilla briefs a few bloggers on Firefox 3
Yesterday, Mozilla hosted a blogger luncheon where a few bloggers from main media outlets were invited to introduce them to and discuss the upcoming Firefox 3.
Besides a couple of small announcements, the most interesting fact here is seeing Mozilla more actively engaging with the media to get the word around. Asa Dotzler has a nice writeup of the meeting in his blog.
During the meeting it was confirmed that Firefox 3 is expected for June and that due to Apple licensing limitations (and overall uncoolness), there are no plans for an iPhone version of Firefox any time soon.
Also, it seems the Mozilla folks really liked the T-shirt design contest candidates and at least one of the finalists was printed and given away to participants, according to these photos posted by Webware’s Rafe Needleman.
