New Adventures
28 July 2008I’m moving on from my role at Mozilla Corporation to head up the front-end and platform development at Facebook. I’ll be here for at least a few weeks after the summit so we’ll have plenty of time to catch-up before I go.
It really has been a singular honor to have been part of Mozilla and I’m hugely proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish together. We’ve shipped Firefox 1.5, 2, and the amazing Firefox 3 together, taken the active users from tens of millions to >185 million in almost 50 languages, achieved 50% market share in some countries, built a thriving Add-ons ecosystem, moved into mobile, scaled our operations across the globe, and most importantly of all continued to build a thriving, passionate, talented community that is a blast to be part of. This is the first time I’ve decided to leave something I really truly love – I will dearly miss getting a chance to work with all of you every day. Everyone that I’ve met from the community has, and will continue to be, a huge inspiration to me.
I *know* that Mozilla will continue to kick butt without me – impossible to do otherwise with the strength, talent, and passion of the people here.
Rock on,
Schrep
