FOSDEM is upcoming this weekend in Brussels, and I just want to post about some of the issues concerning Mozilla developers.

Pondering addons.mozilla.org from a Developer’s Perspective
Despite some recent concerns about the role and reliability of extensions in the Mozilla world, most notably by David Baron, I believe they have a crucial role to play.

Activated Again?
ActiveState, the Vancouver based company who were one of the first to build a major 3rd party Mozilla-based application with Komodo, have broken away from Sophos. David Ascher gives more details in a blog entry. The anti-virus (or threat management is the favoured term these days) company bought them a few years back, and despite [...]
