From Mitchell Baker
We've always been the development project that lived in a time pressured setting and always where commercial entities were relying heavily on releases in a certain time frame.
We have a very active testing community which people don't often think about when you have open source.
I mean, who wants to live waking up... at least I don't want to live waking up everyday about revenge.
We worked very hard to make extensions very simple.
But I think it's always difficult when a product that you're using and accustomed to changes.
There's the classic charitable contribution, which we receive thousands, and we're extremely grateful and they often come with notes from people, which are very heartwarming, about how much difference our products have made in their life on the Internet.
Of course, it's hard to support full-time programmers, so we do get funds from a set of companies that are interested in the health of the Mozilla project and so are willing to support the people working for the Foundation as well.
Money tends to make people suspicious, if there's any money floating around.
Tech, in the sense of... putting things together, that goes back beyond memory for me.
