  "textContent": "This is my report on activities of the [Mozilla Foundation][Mozilla] for the week ending April 21, 2006.  The major news for this week is that we’re continuing to fund work to support improved accessibility of Firefox and other Mozilla-based products.\n\nProjects for the week\n\nHere’s a partial listing of what I and others at the Foundation did the week ending April 21:\n\n- Accessibility implementation plan for OS X.  The Mozilla Foundation is making a small grant to fund creation of an implementation plan for improving the accessibility of Firefox and other Mozilla-based products on Mac OS X.  Next action(s): Work with Aaron Leventhal to monitor the progress of the work.\n\n- XTech conference.  I’m working with Mike Shaver on having some Mozilla attendees at the [XTech conference][XTech], May 16--19 in Amsterdam.  Next action(s): Work with shaver to ensure that all necessary arrangements are made.\n\n- NetSquared conference.  I’m planning to attend the [NetSquared conference][net2] on technology and nonprofits (among other things), along with Paul Kim of the Mozilla Corporation.  Next action(s): Work with Paul to get registered.\n\n- CA certificate policy.  [Nicholas Bebout][bebout] did the work to get the official [Mozilla CA certificate policy][cert-policy] published to the mozilla.org web site (per [bug 332517][]).  Next action(s): Modify selected other pages to include a link to the policy.\n\n- Gerv Markham.  Last week [Gerv had the first of two surgeries][cancer] to remove some tumors in his lungs; I’ve haven’t heard from him yet, but as far as I know he’s recuperating now and hopefully should be up and around in a bit. His surgery went very well (his words) and he hopes to be back home later this week.  (However don’t expect him to answer any emails for a while yet.) I’m sure I can speak for all of us in extending to Gerv our best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.  Next action(s): Gerv confronts his overflowing inbox . . .\n\nUpcoming activities\n\nHere’s what I’ll be doing and where I’ll be in the coming months.\n\n- I’ll be visiting the [Center for History and New Media][chnm] in Fairfax CA on May 11.\n\n- I’m tentatively planning to be in San Jose CA on May 30--31 for the NetSquared conference.\n\n- I’ll be in Mountain View CA sometime in June for a Mozilla Foundation board meeting.\n\nThis concludes the report.\n\nUPDATED: I’ve since heard from Gerv re his condition; see above.\n\n[net2]: http://www.netsquared.org/conference\n[XTech]: http://xtech06.usefulinc.com/content/about\n[bebout]: http://www.bebout.info/\n[cert-policy]: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ca-certificates/policy.html\n[bug 332517]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332517\n[cancer]: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/2006/04/thank_god_for_cancer.html\n[chnm]: http://chnm.gmu.edu/\n[Mozilla]: http://www.mozillafoundation.org/",
