  "textContent": "This is my report on activities of the [Mozilla Foundation][Mozilla] for the week ending September 29, 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- IP-related issues.  I corresponded with [Daniel Glazman][] about the naming of his proposed successor product to Mozilla Composer and Nvu, and agreed to help him with trademark-related issues as appropriate.  I also got some paperwork completed relating to the trademark application for the [SeaMonkey logo][], and will be proceeding with that.\n\n    I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank [Alex Butin][], who created the SeaMonkey logo, and [Mark Carson][], who created the [Sunbird logo][], for their great work and generosity in creating the logos and donating them to the Mozilla Foundation.  Please join me in thanking them both!\n\n    Next action(s): More trademark stuff.\n\n- Conferences and other outreach.  At [EuroOSCON][] Zak Greant interviewed various folks with other open source and free software projects to get a handle on their own issues and whether and how the Mozilla Foundation might be able to assist them in future.  interally.  Zak also represented the Mozilla Foundation at the [Government CIO Summit][] in Ottawa on September 28 and talked with various people about adoption of open source and free software within government organizations in Canada and elsewhere.\n\n    Next action(s): Zak is looking to do more such interviews in the future.\n\n- IDN.  Gerv Markham was invited to speak on the Mozilla project’s work on Internationalized Domain Names at the [Internet Governance Forum meeting][igf] in Athens Greece October 30 through November 2, but won’t be able to attend due to his [radiotherapy treatments][].  He’s working to recruit someone to go in his stead.\n\n    Next action(s): If a volunteer can be found, arrange Foundation sponsorship for their travel.\n\n- Mozilla meet-ups.  Gerv has been discussing with various people the possibility of having a European meeting sometime in 2007 for localizers and other Mozilla contributors.\n\n    Next action(s): Talk with folks at the Corporation to see what if any plans they have, and proceed accordingly.\n\n- Grants and related topics.  Other than helping with arrangements for the [Mozilla accessibility summit][], not much went on last week.\n\n    Next action(s): Sort out administrative arrangements for one more project we’re planning to fund.\n\nUpcoming activities\n\n- I’ll be in Cambridge MA on October 10 for one day of the Mozilla accessibility summit.\n- Zak will be stopping by to visit at Mozilla HQ in Mountain View in late October while he’s in town for the [Zend/PHP conference][].\n\nThis concludes the report.\n\n[Daniel Glazman]: http://www.glazman.org/weblog/\n[Alex Butin]: http://www.purportex.org/\n[Mark Carson]: http://markcarson.com/\n[SeaMonkey logo]: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/artwork.html\n[Sunbird logo]: http://markcarson.com/MarkCarson/asp/SunbirdLogo.asp\n[Government CIO Summit]: http://www.governmentciosummit.ca/index.php?id=159&L=1\n[igf]: http://www.igfgreece2006.gr/\n[radiotherapy treatments]: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/2006/09/radiotherapy_week_1.html\n[Mozilla accessibility summit]: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Accessibility_Hackfest_2006\n[EuroOSCON]: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/euos2006/\n[Zend/PHP conference]: http://www.zendcon.com/\n[Mozilla]: http://www.mozillafoundation.org/",
