I'm certainly interested in going, but [...]

Sorry for the missing reports (for the June 22nd and 29th) - I'll catch up in this report.
June 22nd and 29th were quiet on for Mozilla-related activities. I did what I could to keep the ball rolling for our organization of the Internet as a Public Good Symposium, but my real focus was taken up [...]

Looking for a roomie for Ubuntu Live/FLOSS Foundations/OSCON

I'm looking to share a hotel room at the OSCON hotel (or nearby) for Ubuntu Live, the FLOSS Foundations meeting and OSCON. While the Mozilla Foundation is covering my costs, I don't like wasting MoFo money on frivolous stuff.

php|works 2006: Mozilla Report

At php/db|works, I didn't end up doing much direct Mozilla Foundation evangelism - I spent too much time catching up on various bits of Mozilla work unrelated to the conference and sleeping off my cold.
I did draft (and test) a set of interview questions for my upcoming string of interviews with various FLOSS community members, [...]
