  "textContent": "This is my report on my activities related to the [Mozilla Foundation][Mozilla] for the week ending June 29, 2007.\n\nProjects for the week\n\nHere’s a partial listing of what I and others did this past week:\n\n- Grants and related activities.  I approved funding for a project to enhance the [NVDA open source screen reader][nvda] for Windows to better support Firefox.  This actually happened some time ago, but I forgot to mention it: WebAIM completed its project to produce revised [XUL accessibility guidelines][xulag] and create a [XUL accessibility evaluation][xulaet] tool.  Henri Sivonen completed the third milestone on his current HTML5 conformance checker project.\n\n    Next action(s): Evaluate a funding request for sponsorship of a developer workshop (Mozilla-related but not Mozilla-specific).  Do a blog post summarizing our accessibility-related efforts, as well as a brief meeting report on [CSUN][] and [G3ICT][].\n\n- IP/legal issues.  I asked our lawyers to initiate trademark registration of the Camino logo.\n\n    Next action(s): Work with the SeaMonkey Council and others on appropriate policies for the SeaMonkey trademarks.  Work more to get the contributors agreement moved forward.\n\n- Other.  I took a day of vacation.\n\nFor more information see the weekly status reports published by other Mozilla Foundation people:\n\n- [David Boswell][david]\n- [Gerv Markham][gerv]\n- [Zak Greant][zak]\n\nUpcoming activities\n\n- I’ll be in Atlanta on July 2 to speak at the annual meeting of the [National Federation of the Blind in Computer Science][nfbcs].\n- I’ll be taking some vacation time the week of July 16 (postponed from the week of July 2).\n- I’ll be attending at least part of [OSCON 2007][oscon] July 23--27.\n- I’ll be in Boston on July 30--31.\n\nRandom notes\n\nLast week I tried out an online backup service, [Mozy][], wanting to see if online backup was actually a viable strategy now that I have a FIOS connection.  Unfortunately it took almost 24 hours to back up about 625MB of selected data---I could have done better writing the data to a CD-ROM and sending it via FedEx.\n\nThat’s a pity, because I’d really like to see online backup work out.  If Verizon quit emulating the cable companies and offered true symmetrical upload and download speeds, and if a service existed that could take advantage of that bandwidth, then I could in theory backup my entire iTunes library (all 30GB or so) in just a few hours.\n\n[nvda]: http://www.nvda-project.org/\n[xulag]: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Accessible_XUL_Authoring_Guidelines\n[xulaet]: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XUL_accessibility_tool\n[G3ICT]: http://www.g3ict.com/\n[CSUN]: http://www.csun.edu/cod/conf/\n[david]: http://davidwboswell.wordpress.com/\n[gerv]: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/2007/06/weekly_status_20070629.html\n[zak]: http://zak.greant.com/\n[nfbcs]: http://www.nfb.org/nfb/NFB_computer_science.asp\n[oscon]: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/oscon/\n[Mozy]: http://mozy.com/\n[Mozilla]: http://www.mozillafoundation.org/",
