  "textContent": "This is my report on activities related to the [Mozilla Foundation][Mozilla] for the week ending June 6, 2008.\n\nProjects for the week\n\nHere’s a summary of what Foundation-related activities went on last week; for more information about others’ activities please see the weekly status reports published by [David Boswell][David B], [Gerv Markham][Gerv Ma], and [Zak Greant][Zak Gre].\n\n- Grants and related expenditures\n  - Alexander Surkov completed the intermediate milestone on his Mozilla Foundation-funded project to develop automated tests and regression fixes in the Mozilla accessibility module; so far he’s fixed 16 outstanding bugs (relating to crashes, regressions, and new features), as well as kept the [accessibility API documentation][accessi] up to date and worked on several other accessibility-related tasks.\n  - [Proceedings][Proceed], [slides][], and an [attendee list][attende] have now been published for the [Foundations of Open Media Software 2008 workshop][Foundat], for which the Mozilla Foundation was a sponsor.\n- Legal issues\n  - I approved a new [privacy policy for mozilla.org sites][privacy] and David Boswell posted it to www.mozilla.org.  (Note that this is a separate policy from the [privacy policy for mozilla.com sites][privacy02], although it is based on that policy.)\n- CAs and related issues\n  - Gerv [proposed some ideas][propose] as to how we might address the [Debian weak key problem][Debian] in a Mozilla context.\n  - Kathleen Wilson is waiting on responses from CAs to close out her information-gathering work on their requests.  I worked with her to identify a set of new requests to look at, including those for Trustis (bug [324126][324126]), Microsec Ltd (bug [370505][370505]), S-TRUST (bug [370627][370627]), and TC TrustCenter (bug [378882][378882]).\n  - I put [Entrust][]’s request to enable the Entrust Root Certification Authority for EV (bug [416544][416544]) into the [first public comment period][first p].\n- Public communication\n  - David Boswell continued work on a new www.mozilla.org design brief.\n  - David worked to help produce a new draft of the proposed [Mozilla brochure][Mozilla02] and get model release forms signed for people whose photos appear in the brochure.\n- Conferences\n  - Zak Greant continued work on the proposed [FOSSCoach][FOSSCoa] event at OSCON.\n- Other\n  - Gerv Markham worked on a project to calculate what percentage of the world’s Internet users have a localized version of Firefox available in their native language.\n  - Gerv also worked on a project to compile a definitive domain suffix list, e.g., suffixes like \"co.uk\" that do not themselves refer to web sites (unlike, e.g., \"co.org\"); this list could be useful in contexts like handling of cookies, bookmarks, etc.\n\nUpcoming events and activities\n\n- The Mozilla Foundation will be a sponsor of the [Personal Democracy Forum conference][Persona] (June 23-24 in New York NY).  Brian Behlendorf will be speaking there, and I’m also planning to attend.\n- David, Gerv, and Zak will be attending OSCON (July 21-25 in Portland OR) and the Firefox Summit (July 29-31 in Whistler BC).  I will be attending the Firefox Summit but not OSCON.\n\n[Mozilla]: http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/\n[David B]: http://davidwboswell.wordpress.com/\n[Gerv Ma]: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/\n[Zak Gre]: http://zak.greant.com/\n[accessi]: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Accessibility:AT-APIs\n[Proceed]: http://www.foms-workshop.org/foms2008/pmwiki.php/Main/Proceedings\n[slides]: http://www.annodex.org/events/lca2008_mmm/uploads/foms_summary.pdf\n[attende]: http://www.foms-workshop.org/foms2008/pmwiki.php/Main/AttendeeList\n[Foundat]: http://www.foms-workshop.org/foms2008/\n[privacy]: http://www.mozilla.org/privacy-policy.html \"http://www.mozilla.org/privacy-policy.html\"\n[privacy02]: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/privacy-policy.html\n[propose]: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.security/browse_thread/thread/b2cda44a0e6c4d5c[Debian]: http://wiki.debian.org/SSLkeys\n[324126]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324126\n[370505]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370505\n[370627]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370627\n[378882]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378882\n[Entrust]: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/certs/pending/#Entrust\n[416544]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416544\n[first p]: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.tech.crypto/browse_thread/thread/8ae9fe7c28ec563d[Mozilla02]: http://davidwboswell.wordpress.com/2008/05/30/creating-a-mozilla-brochure/\n[FOSSCoa]: http://fosscoach.wikia.com/wiki/FOSSCoach\n[Persona]: http://pdf2008.confabb.com/conferences/60420-personal-democracy-forum-2008",
