Mozilla Foundation Report for 2008 Week 12

Zak Greant's Mozilla Foundation report for March 23rd to March 29th, 2008.

See the weblogs of David Boswell, Frank Hecker and Gerv Markham for additional reports.

This Week

Many small tasks. Worked on my Go Open 2008 keynote (slides are at http://www.slideshare.net/zakgreant/go-open-08-floss-what-and-why). Minor administrative work. Got ready for travelling to Go Open 2008 in Oslo. Chased after various Mozilla folks on behalf of community members. Participated in discussions on Mozilla's 10 year anniversary plans - participating in physical meetings via phone sucks. Worked on OSCON participation plans.
Misc. Discussed BytesFree.org (an initiative to help ensure that citizens can access their data) with John Mark Walker - as BytesFree.org plans to lobby, I don't think that the Mozilla Foundation can support them; however, the initiative is still interesting. David Ascher and Shane Caraveo started planning a MozCamp near the dates for the Open Web Vancouver 2008 conference. Light coordination work for the upcoming FLOSS Foundations meeting at OSCON. Read interesting summary of a report on the habits of wired wealthy donors (via David Boswell); avoided the full report which was behind a sign-up form.
