26 November 2007 | Mozilla Foundation announces Directed Giving programThe Mozilla Foundation today announces their new directed giving program. When you donate to the Mozilla Foundation, you now have the option of directing your donations to one of four selected projects (Bugzilla, SeaMonkey, Camino, and Mozilla accessibility for people with disabilities). You can also choose to make a traditional unrestricted donation as well. The Mozilla Foundation will take note of your choice, and keep track of how much money has been designated for each project. They will then work with the people responsible for each project and come up with some worthy project-related initiatives to fund using those designated donations. This directed giving program was created as a way to give people more ways to be involved in and engaged with the Mozilla project, and the Mozilla Foundation also wants to give the various individual projects within the overall Mozilla project the chance to promote themselves and further grow their communities of supporters. If you've donated to the Mozilla Foundation before, we thank you for your past donation and encourage you to consider making a new donation designated for one of these projects. If you haven't donated yet, please consider supporting one of these worthy initiatives. |
17 September 2007 | Mozilla Launches Internet Mail and Communications InitiativeMozilla today announced a new initiative to stimulate innovation in Internet mail and communications. Mozilla plans to develop Internet communications software based on the Thunderbird product, code and brand. The new initiative also aims to nurture a robust developer ecosystem in order to drive improvements through open source and community innovation, in the tradition of the Firefox web browser. Dr. David Ascher, currently CTO and VP Engineering of ActiveState, will join Mozilla to establish a new company focused on mail. Ascher has been an active member of the Mozilla community since 2000, initially as the lead of Komodo, a Mozilla-based integrated development environment (IDE). He is an established leader in the open source community, including his role as a director of the Python Software Foundation. "Innovating in mail and communications advances our vision of choice across the spectrum of Internet software," said Mitchell Baker, Chair, Mozilla Foundation. "David has been a respected member of the Mozilla community for many years and we're excited that he is joining Mozilla to lead this important effort." In July 2007, Baker delivered a call to action soliciting community feedback about the future of Thunderbird. After an active public discussion, the Mozilla Foundation board approved the creation of a distinct new Mozilla Foundation subsidiary dedicated to developing, innovating and improving Internet mail and communication software. Mozilla will provide US$3 million seed funding to establish this new company. Millions of people around the world rely on Thunderbird as their primary mail application. Nothing will change for current Thunderbird users. Mozilla will continue to provide Thunderbird users with regular security and stability updates as it establishes its new initiative, and remains committed to the needs of Thunderbird users.
