This is my report on my activities related to the Mozilla Foundation for the week ending August 24, 2007.
Projects for the week
Here’s a summary of what Foundation-related activities went on last week; for more information about others’ activities please see the weekly status reports published by David Boswell, Gerv Markham, and Zak Greant.
Grants and related activities. Two new projects got approved for funding, details to be announced when all the paperwork gets done.
Next action(s): Evaluate a funding request for sponsorship of a developer workshop (Mozilla-related but not Mozilla-specific).
IP/legal issues. I posted to www.mozilla.org a new version of the Mozilla domain name license application to correct the postal address for the Mozilla Foundation. I also resumed work on putting together a draft corporate contributors agreement, and Zak and I worked on various trademark-related issues.
Next action(s): Continue work on the corporate contributors agreement. Get work started again on an update for the CVS contributors form.
Web sites. David Boswell worked more on revising the Foundation section of www.mozilla.org, and participated in discussions on revamping www.mozilla.org as a whole.
Next action(s): Continue work on www.mozilla.org.
CA-related. I worked on issues related to a third-party’s web sites with misconfigured SSL certificate information causing Firefox errors.
Next action(s): Start the process of revising the Mozilla CA certificate policy to take into account Extended Validation certificates.
Other. Zak helped out with Software Freedom Day and Mozilla 24 planning. David met with Bradley Kuhn of the Software Freedom Law Center. Gerv Markham was on vacation.
