Much happened last week and we’re here to tell you about all of it.
First, the things we reported on:
- Mozilla started the week with Chris Blizzard criticizing Apple for its Safari-only HTML5 website.
- We published a fair number of posts about the Mozilla Summit 2010. For ongoing coverage, follow the Summit 2010 category.
- Both Postbox and Songbird shipped releases and we also announced the first alpha of Postbox 2.0.
- The infrastructure security team proposed a new disclosure policy for infrastructure bugs.
- Mozilla fell short of delivering Firefox 3.7 alpha 5, but the release will likely ship early in the week with built-in WebM support.
- The Mozilla Labs team started their Secret project, meanwhile the Raindrop project started a reset. The Mozilla Labs team also started a new concept series titled “Crowdsource Crowdsourcing.”
- The Firefox Cup, a marketing project tied to the World Cup, launched.
- For those who donate $75, the Mozilla 2010 community-designed t-shirt started shipping. Strangely, it didn’t appear in the Mozilla Community Store.
There’s also a lot of news we didn’t report on. Here are some of the highlights:
- Daniel Buchner, a product manager for Jetpack, announced the results of the Jetpack survey.
- The first beta of Test Pilot, the Mozilla Labs project that studies user behavior, was released, as announced by Jinghua Zhang, a product manager for Test Pilot.
- The Firefox “Input” project, slowly moved forward. Its goal is to organize all of the feedback mechanisms, into one location.
- Firefox 3.6.4 hiccuped again and another build was made to fix bug 562198. Candidate builds are now available.
- Gervase Markham announced the Bugzilla 600,000 bug sweepstakes.
- Jay Sullivan, Mozilla Corporation’s VP of Product (formerly of Mobile), along with Dan Mills, an engineer with Mozilla Labs, spoke with Tech Radar about Mozilla’s stance on web privacy. A slew of fairly ignorant statements were made, but we took the high road and let it slide.
And that’s everything important that happened last week in the Mozilla universe.
