  "textContent": "This is my report on my activities related to the [Mozilla Foundation][Mozilla] for the week ending April 20, 2007.\n\nProjects for the week\n\nHere’s a partial listing of what I did this past week:\n\n- Grants and related activities.  I approved two new accessibility-related proposals, and send another to the Mozilla Foundation board for consideration; more information to come later as things progress..\n\n    Next action(s): Finish paperwork for new work being funded.  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.  Due to competing priorities, I again didn’t make any progress on the proposed corporate contributors agreement ([bug 342029][]).\n\n    Next action(s): Spend more time on getting the contributors agreement moved forward.\n\n- Other.  I published a [blog post][in-transition] discussing my intention to step down as executive director of the Foundation.  I published the [Mozilla Manifesto][mm] and the current Mozilla Foundation [statement of direction][sod] to www.mozilla.org.\n\n    Next action(s): Help put together a plan for community involvement in the search for a new executive director.\n\nSee also the status reports for last week from [Gerv][gerv-status] and [Zak][zak-status].\n\nUpcoming activities\n\n- I have a house move tentatively scheduled for May 4, so I’ll be mostly unreachable around that time until the chaos settles down.\n- I’ll be in Atlanta on July 2 to speak at annual meeting of the [National Federation of the Blind in Computer Science][nfbcs].\n- I’m considering attending at least part of [OSCON 2007][oscon] July 23--27.\n- I’ll tentatively be in Boston on July 30--31.\n\nRandom notes\n\nPrompted by blog posts and other news about the [Yuri’s Night][yn] event at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View on April 13, I recently engaged in some [space advocacy nostalgia][yn-deja-vu].\n\n[G3ICT]: http://www.g3ict.com/\n[CSUN]: http://www.csun.edu/cod/conf/\n[bug 342029]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342029\n[gerv]: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/\n[gerv-status]: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/2007/04/weekly_status_20070420.html\n[zak-status]: http://zak.greant.com/mozilla-foundation-weekly-status-20070420/\n[in-transition]: /mozilla/in-transition\n[mm]: http://www.mozilla.org/about/mozilla-manifesto.html\n[sod]: http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/statement-of-direction.html\n[nfbcs]: http://www.nfb.org/nfb/NFB_computer_science.asp\n[oscon]: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/oscon/\n[yn]: http://worldspaceparty.com/\n[yn-deja-vu]: /misc/yuris-night-deja-vu\n[Mozilla]: http://www.mozillafoundation.org/",
