Firefox 3.5 will be fast. Twice as fast as Firefox 3 to be precise. The question is, are you in the same league? Not rendering pages or running web applications (now, that would be seriously cool), but in any other skill. That’s what Fastest Firefox is all about.
The latest Mozilla marketing project is asking you to submit a video of yourself performing some task really really fast.
Organized by OneRiot, AdaptiveBlue, and Sxipper, Add-on-Con will be the first conference dedicated to web browser add-ons with people from Google, Mozilla and Microsoft coming together to discuss the future of web browsing.
The one day event, that has Mozilla and Mashable as platinum sponsors, will have Business and Technical tracks with five sessions each, and two keynotes.
Add-on-Con will take place on December 11 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. Admission is $150. A portion of the profits will be donated to the One Laptop per Child Project.
Some weeks ago, I was greatly surprised to receive a kind invitation from Mozilla to join the Mozilla Summit 2008, the great all-Mozilla meetup at Whistler, BC. To say I’m thrilled to meet some of the great good guys who make the Mozilla project a reality is an understatement.
But, as usual I’ve waited ’til the very last moment to share this with you (I’m at Philadelphia waiting for my 6 hours connection to Vancouver, after a 4 hours ride from San Juan, Puerto Rico), but hopefully I will be able to share some of the experience of talking about the future of Mozilla and even a release with you all, as Firefox 3.1 alpha 1 is expected to be released tomorrow, driven by Mike Beltzner, directly from Whistler.
So, what do you want to know? If you’ve ever wished to be there at some Mozilla event to learn or ask someting please let me know and I’ll do my best to get it for you.
Mari, Percy, and Cami, I already miss you! :(
Lucky me, the kind people of Nobox, the design firm behind some of Firefox related art including the robot series, will be hosting a Firefox 3 party this Saturday, June 21 at Telemundo studios in Roosevelt Ave., San Juan.
Looking forward to meet a lot of local Firefox fans there and share ideas for promoting Firefox locally.
El sábado a las 8 en Telemundo!
Look for a party near you at Mozilla Party Central.
Mozilla Support (a.k.a. SUMO) will host the first Mozilla Support Day this Friday, April 11th, 2008.
During this day, starting at 7:00am PST (GMT -7), users looking for a way to get involved with Mozilla will learn about opportunities to help other users with the upcoming Firefox 3. Either writing or editing articles, answering through live chat or in the forums, providing feedback, help with a favicon, there’s lots of things to do and most likely a way for you to help.
Ten years ago, following an astonishing announcement on early January, Netscape opened the source code of Communicator 5, Netscape’s suite of Internet applications, effectively starting the Mozilla Project.
