Hacking Business Models

This weekend, Monty and I got together for a different kind of hacking session.
Instead of developing software, we were working on developing a set of rough principles and rules for running a Free Software/Open Source business. We both have a good amount of experience working with various FLOSS projects (like Mozilla, MySQL, PHP, etc.) and [...]

Frank and I traveled to Cambridge, MA, USA to attend the Berkman Center's Internet & Society 2007 event.

Creating MozillaFoundation.org

One of my current tasks at the Mozilla Foundation is getting mozillafoundation.org up and running. Of course, we have all the needed infrastructure, design help and so on - this leaves just a few major tasks for me, namely:

collecting, revising and creating content as needed,
working with others [...]
