This is my report on activities of the [Mozilla Foundation][Mozilla] for the week ending April 14, 2006. The major news for this week is the mozdev.org grant. Projects for the week Here’s a partial listing of what I and others at the Foundation did the week ending April 14: - mozdev.org. The Mozilla Foundation board approved a \$60K grant (\$30K/year for two years) to the [Mozdev Community Organization][mco] to support their efforts to improve the [mozdev.org][] site for third-party developers of Firefox extensions and other Mozilla-related software. Next action(s): Up to the mozdev folks. - Mozilla history project. The Mozilla Foundation is making a small grant to the [Center for History and New Media][chnm] (at George Mason University) to help fund oral history interviews for their [Mozilla/Firefox history project][mdmb]. Next action(s): Work with CHNM further as appropriate. - GPLv3. I participated in another GPLv3 conference call and started writing formal comments on GPLv3 license compatibility issues.
