"textContent": "This is my report on activities of the [Mozilla Foundation][Mozilla] for the week ending November 10, 2006.\n\nProjects for the week\n\nHere’s a partial listing of what I and others at the Foundation did this past week:\n\n- [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.\n\n Next action(s): Possibly one or two more press interviews, and then that should be it, at least for now.\n\n- IP-related issues. Gerv Markham worked with others to relicense the [Rhino Java-based JavaScript engine][rhino] under an MPL/GPL dual license.\n\n Next action(s): Continue working on trademark-related issues.\n\n- 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.\n\n Next action(s): Resume review of additional CA applications.\n\n- 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).\n\n Next action(s): Get decisions made on the various funding and grant proposals previously submitted.\n\nUpcoming activities\n\n- I’ll be at Mozilla HQ in Mountain View November 14--16, as will Zak Greant.\n- Gerv will be out on vacation through early December, starting this weekend.\n- I’ll be in Boston in early December for a meeting with Aaron Leventhal.\n- I may be out on vacation the week of December 4. (This is still tentative.)\n- I’ll be in California (though not necessarily at Mozilla HQ) on December 12 and probably on December 11 and/or 13 as well.\n\nThis concludes the report.\n\n[Tamarin project]: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/\n[last week’s report]: /mozilla/foundation-activities-2006-11-03\n[Tamarin blog post]: /mozilla/adobe-mozilla-and-tamarin\n[rhino]: http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/\n[Trustis]: /mozilla/ca-certificate-list#trustis\n[Extended Validation certificate proposal]: http://www.cabforum.org/\n[Mozilla]: http://www.mozillafoundation.org/",
