I've learned that for many people, change is uncomfortable. Maybe they want to go through it, and they can see the benefit of it, but at a gut level, change is uncomfortable.
From Mitchell Baker
The question of trademark is pretty unsettled in the open source world. The trademark is important in a consumer product, but there are a few groups who feel it's a restriction they can't live with.
Humanity is smart. Sometime in the technology world we think we are smarter, but we are not smarter than you.
The Mozilla Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization.
The organization is a way for people to find us and deal with us and know how we operate.
The Mozilla project is big in terms of lines of code and complexity.
We've broken the code base into logical chunks, called modules, and the foundation staff delegate authority for the modules to people with the most expertise.
Many people think that open source projects are sort of chaotic and and anarchistic. They think that developers randomly throw code at the code base and see what sticks.
Some people are really drawn to technology and I liken them to artists.
We actually have a real community of people doing useful things.
