New folks working with Mozilla!
23 August 2006TR Fullhart joined Monday as a full time member of the build team. TR has been doing build and release work for the last 5 years and sysadmin work for several years prior to that. He’s a top perl hacker and is fired up about being involved. We’re really excited to have his help supporting the build infrastructure for all the Mozilla projects. He’s around on IRC as trf. Welcome TR!
Matt Willis, whom you’ve definitely seen on irc as lilmatt, has been kicking butt on Calendar. He did the pinstripe theme, moved to toolkit based prefs, and done a lot of l10n and build work. We’ve brought him on under contract to make sure he has the time to continue to help out the Calendar team. Welcome Matt!
Lars Lohn, the author of sentry from bouncer and a hacker of mad proportions has also started working with us on contract to help out on addons.mozilla.org and other web tools projects. When he’s not hacking he’s playing the Oboe, riding his Harley, or working on his organic farm – hopefully not all at once. He’s around as Lars on irc. Welcome Lars!
Mozilla is a collection of people gathered together working towards a shared goal. It is really exciting to be able to pull talented folks from other domains into the Mozilla projects and make it possible for those already contributing to focus more time on the project.
Welcome to all!

All very much needed, welcome. Love to see your contributions. This is what makes the extra spending power of Mozilla Corp. worthwhile.
