I got an email from a reader to my post about Mozilla as a social responsible business that said the following:
…I think the term ’socially responsible business’ really sells Mozilla short. In my view, corporate social responsibility applies to a business that tries to conduct its work in a responsible way….But the real point in [...]

Did anyone else watch Jon Stewart on The Daily Show last night on Comedy Central? A bit about the road to the White House centered around the U.S. presidential candidates’ efforts to appear in touch with the electorate though their respective websites and blogs.
In typical fashion, Jon Stewart sarcastically diced up the candidates’ attempts [...]

I attended the Economic Summit 2007 conference on Monday, June 11 hosted by the Cal State East Bay SBDC. The conference brought together several leading social entrepreneurs to discuss nuts and bolts of starting a socially responsible organization. I represented Mozilla on a panel and was able to articulate what makes Mozilla special and [...]

I set up a way to index my Thunderbird inbox so Spotlight/Google Desktop can find individual messages using whatever search parameters I put into the search box.
If you’re interested (and use Thunderbird on a Mac), go here: http://www.dennis.ca/weblog/2007/04/17/howto-make-spotlight-and-google-desktop-index-thunderbird-messages/
Not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it seems to be working for [...]

Calling all Vista-Community Testers!
Please join the Mozilla QA community for Testday on Friday, June 8th, 2007. This week, we will be [...]

Sam Sidler and Mike Pinkerton have already blogged a bunch about it, but I wanted to also weigh in.
It’s more great work by the community. If you’re a Mac user, check it out. Camino 1.5 includes some awesome new features [...]

Graphicsguru, Jamey Boje, sent me a theme redesign for my blog. It was a total surprise, but so well done I had to change the header in my style sheet. (errr…well…because of the Wordpress multi-user software, I don’t have access to the style sheets and actually had to get Jeremy Orem to replace [...]

Presently, I use Thunderbird (2.0.0.0) with the Lightning extension (0.5 RC1) for my calendar option, making a pretty clean version of a unified mail/calendar client. Yeah…both have a few bugs, but for me, it has been working really well. A lot of new features have gone into the calendar project, making Lightning a [...]

Last Thursday (5/31/2007), another team was assembled to evaluate new proposals for empowering the Mozilla community. We are moving forward on the following ideas:
1) On the weekend of June 16 and 17, 2007, Mozilla will open up Building K for the Camino team to gather and for a developer/community day. Building K [...]
