Ever wonder what it’s like for a non-hacker to jump into Mozilla’s world of add-on development?  If you’re reading this on Planet Mozilla, there’s a very good chance you have a lot more technical background than a guy like me.  But, maybe you’d like to read about a non-developer’s first attempt at writing an extension.

If you’ve been following this blog, you may have seen some posts over the past few months about Mozilla’s participation in India’s largest open source conference, FOSS.IN.  Our initial planning culminated with Mozilla’s project day proposal being accepted by the FOSS.IN planning team.  That was exciting.
What did I learn in this process, and what, if [...]

I am going to Toronto October 25 and 26 to attend Seneca College’s FSOSS.   How psyched am I to be heading up North?  For one, maybe I finally will get to meet these guys.

Chofmann and I made our last stop in Mumbai, arriving on Friday, July 20, and leaving yesterday at 12:20 AM (India time, July 23.)
Several contributors from the ILUG-BOM group assembled for the final event of our Indian Tour. It was held at the Homi Bhabha center, TIFR and many thanks to Dr. Nagarjuna G. [...]

After nearly 30 hours of travel, Chris and I landed on Friday, July 13, after midnight in Mumbai. We arrived to our hotel by 2 AM and then got up the next day, headed back to the airport to fly to Ahmedabad in the state of Gujurat. We headed there to participate in [...]

We’ll have a meeting on July 10 to review all the recent requests for support from the community program. It is a jam-packed week for me, leaving for India on Wednesday. So, I thought I would blog now about what we will review and then follow-up next week after I land in India.
We’ll [...]
