Mozilla Foundation activities, week ending 2006/11/10

This is my report on activities of the [Mozilla Foundation][Mozilla] for the week ending November 10, 2006. Projects for the week Here’s a partial listing of what I and others at the Foundation did this past week: - [Tamarin project][]. This was the major event of the week (alluded to in [last week’s report][]) and accounted for the bulk of time I spent on Foundation-related tasks. I did a [Tamarin blog post][], an Adobe-internal webcast for Adobe employees, lots of press interviews, and other writing and responses related to the announcement. Next action(s): Possibly one or two more press interviews, and then that should be it, at least for now. - IP-related issues. Gerv Markham worked with others to relicense the [Rhino Java-based JavaScript engine][rhino] under an MPL/GPL dual license. Next action(s): Continue working on trademark-related issues. - CA-related issues. I looked into an application from [Trustis][] for root certificate inclusion in Mozilla. I also got up to speed somewhat regarding the current state of the [Extended Validation certificate proposal][]; however Gerv is doing most of the work on this from a Foundation point of view, including leading a public discussion within the Mozilla project. Next action(s): Resume review of additional CA applications. - Grants and related activities. I have some accessibility-related proposals that I hope to announce next week; I’m still working on getting a couple of other new grant proposals evaluated and approved (or rejected). Next action(s): Get decisions made on the various funding and grant proposals previously submitted. Upcoming activities - I’ll be at Mozilla HQ in Mountain View November 14--16, as will Zak Greant. - Gerv will be out on vacation through early December, starting this weekend. - I’ll be in Boston in early December for a meeting with Aaron Leventhal. - I may be out on vacation the week of December 4. (This is still tentative.) - I’ll be in California (though not necessarily at Mozilla HQ) on December 12 and probably on December 11 and/or 13 as well. This concludes the report.
