Mozilla in Asia

I’ve got photos and a writeup coming soon (after I get the Korea posts up) but please go check out Kirai - Un geek en Japón by Héctor García - Presentación de Firefox 3 (en español) for photos of the Japan release party for Firefox 3 that just happened last night.

The video installation is a media art installation Mozilla Japan collaborated with Prof. Kakei of Keio Univ. and awesome Firefox extension developer and all-around-uber-hacker Daisuke Akatsuka. In short, it is showing real time downloads of Firefox 3 on a map of Japan that is movable and zoomable and music is generated by the users who are downloading and the users of the art installation who have an interface to the map of downloads. More to come on this…

UPDATE: Akimoto-san from Asiajin has a writeup, Firefox3 Release Party Tokyo, as does Kazuhito Kidachi, Firefox 3 リリースパーティー (in Japanese.)
