life personal separate
I have a personal life and a professional life, and there's no way to separate them; for a while I tried, but no one could find me.
deal people
The organization is a way for people to find us and deal with us and know how we operate.
base user
We invest heavily on Firefox on the desktop. We have a user base we want to keep happy.
hard
We worked very hard to make extensions very simple.
funds great money raise
You have to raise funds somehow. And once there's money in the picture, money is great because we all need it to live on.
mozilla photograph theme
You can get anything from Mozilla Firefox-based themes to nature themes to your own photographs.
development release projects
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.
lines mozilla projects
The Mozilla project is big in terms of lines of code and complexity.
opposites ideas space
I'm excited about mobile; clearly that's important. Mobile devices are kind of at the opposite end of PCs, in that PCs are pretty open and you can do a fair amount with them, but many mobile devices aren't. We're excited at the idea that we can make the same kind of contribution in the mobile space. So that's one thing coming down the pike.
technology artist people
Some people are really drawn to technology and I liken them to artists.
awkward helpful ends
Just to have the confidence to say, "Which end of that spectrum am I usually on?" That's been very helpful to me. Because it's a really awkward setting.
consumer few groups source trademark unsettled
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.
dancers paid painters pursued whether writers
There are dancers and painters and writers who pursued that whether or not they are paid for it. There are a lot of technologists who are the same.
mozilla project year
We're just over a year old but the Mozilla project has been around for a long time.
