Update to last post

Potential Cross-post.  My apologies.
Last week, I referenced a research report that “Team 21″ did as an independent study for their university in India.  The report has been uploaded here on Spread Firefox, with an introduction from the team.  I wanted to make sure Planet Mozilla and others saw that it had been uploaded.  Please have [...]

Chofmann and I returned from India last July with a few opportunities to work with various campuses where students had shown interest in doing “something” for Mozilla.  I took a chance at setting up four different teams to do projects related to community building and market research.
