Mozilla may not have rock stars, but what it does have is fantastic contributors and community members. As a mentor in the Mozilla Reps program, I am getting to know more and more. At MozCamp last weekend, it was great to meet some of them. These folks are doing great things on the ground in [...]

On Startup Culture
I admit to being skeptical before about startup culture in the technology sector, for a few reasons: It smells of a gold-rush, a way to make a quick buck. I was brought up with an ethic to go and do your day’s work, work hard, get paid, and play your part. This is inter-twined with [...]
Meetup in Dublin – Mozilla Ireland
UPDATE: The event will be at The Odeon, on Harcourt Street. It is 5 minutes walk from Stephen’s Green, and also on one of the main city Luas tram lines. I’d like to invite you along to a Mozilla Meetup in Dublin, Ireland on November 2. Mozilla products have been translated into Irish for many [...]
Web Hour + Zemanta + Mozilla = Success
Last week saw Firefox updated to version 7. I’m not sure if other communities party any more with the rapid release cycle, but we used it as an excuse not only to party but to talk about the latest happenings with Mozilla. Web Hour (Spletne urice in Slovene), our beloved technology meetup that happens every [...]
Spreading The Word
For the past few years I’ve been wandering around attending technology events and speaking at many of them. As I work from a home office, I get a lot out of this from the perspective of breaking the daily routine and being social. At the start of this year I stepped back and made a [...]
ReMo Add-on Planning

For the uninitiated ReMo is the Mozilla Reps program that aims to empower and support volunteer Mozillians who want to become official reresentatives of Mozilla. Read more on the wiki pages and William’s blog. One of the short brainstorming sessions was [...]

If you don’t know what Mozilla and Firefox are all about, watch this video. Watch with subtitles in some languages here. Can’t see the video? Get [...]
Mozilla at FOSDEM CFP
So @fosdem on Twitter reminded me today that there are 38 days to go to the 2011 edition. It’s approaching fast. If you have inspiration for a Mozilla related talk, we would love to hear from you and there is still time to submit a proposal here. Here is hoping we are not foiled by [...]
Communities, The Balkans, Mozilla, Firefox, and Ljubljana
The Balkans is a funny place. It is a region of Europe that suffers from a bad reputation. What other region has such a negative term ‘Balkanization‘ associated with it? It is probably largely misunderstood, even by it’s fellow Europeans. But I don’t want to talk about that. I live in Slovenia, which is or [...]
MAOW London Rundown
On Wednesday, a very hot day in London Town, the last day in June, we had a Mozilla Add-ons Workshop. It was a day without football, and while England may have been knocked out, everyone seemed in fine spirits. A fitting day, as Mozilla Add-ons was fast approaching the 2 billion download mark. A fine [...]
