On November 9, 2004, a brand new product stroke the web, and it changed. After a halt of 5 years , innovation became again part of the game and it hasn’t stopped since then bringing on millions of users, locales, communities, and equally importantly, competitors: Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Opera are all in the game of exploding the web again, and maybe not breaking it this time.
To celebrate, Mozilla is organizing Light the Web with Firefox.

Celebrate what the web is today: your communication hub, your way of expression, your hobby, your discovery playground, you name it. At the same time, help raise awareness on the importance on keeping One Web: for people of all languages, devices, nations, and conditions.
Get involved in any of several simple ways:
- Post about it on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, etc. Make sure to use the tag #owd2009.
- Grab a poster here, take a picture of yourself and post it to Flickr, make sure to use the tag #owd2009. Link to your picture here, and you may win a laptop bag!
- Grab an image here, print yourself a T-shirt and wear it around, or print a mini poster and show it in your car
- Donate to OneWebDay. Cold cash is also necessary.
- Share this link to perform an Internet Health Check, where unhealthy means using Internet Explorer 6.

This week is Mozilla Service Week, a call to the Mozilla Community to get involved with their local communities and help solve some kind of technical related problem: fixing a computer, a reinstall, installing Firefox, setting up a web site, fixing some images, troubleshooting, and a very long etc.
To know the impact of the effort, register your event/aid at Mozilla Service Week web site, share your story, inspire others. Then come back and report how much time you actually served.
Personally, I have finished crafting a brand new web site for a school in Surco, close to where I live here in Lima, and I will give a talk on Firefox customization tomorrow at Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal in the first CIDSOLI Install Fest, organized by the students’ open source community.

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.

Yesterday, Mozilla hosted a blogger luncheon where a few bloggers from main media outlets were invited to introduce them to and discuss the upcoming Firefox 3.
