In the past couple days, the Mozilla’s dev-l10n mailing list has seen a thread of conversation asking about how Mozilla chooses languages that are shipped and what can be done to improve the process.  I thought I’d write a bit on the incredibly hard work that goes into localizing and what might constitute plan for [...]

Ankit Patel is the lead localizer for Firefox and Thunderbird in his native language of Gujarati.  Last year, when Chofmann and I went to India, Ankit was instrumental in helping me set up a productive visit for us.  In his post, he writes about what it took for him to localize Firefox and Thunderbird.
I asked [...]

I received a note from one of our student teams in India who volunteered to do market research for us.  If you remember, I blogged about Team 21 from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmadebad and the research they did about marketing Firefox in India.  For their hard work, they “won the best industrial project [...]

As it turns out, managing student teams to do [...]

Mozilla has been accepted for a project day at FOSS.IN in Bangalore in India this December. FOSS.IN is the largest open source conference in India and we are so thrilled to be a part of it this year.
Project Days at FOSS.IN are not presentations about an open source project. They are meant for [...]

In the past two weeks, I haven’t blogged a thing. It’s been a time for a slight realignment of teams, and I now am a part of the newly-formed Mozilla Evangelism team. I’ll bringing all that I have been doing with Community Giving to a great team where we all will work on [...]
