This is my report on activities related to the Mozilla Foundation for the week ending February 15, 2008.

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 expenditures
  • Still waiting on formal grant announcements. (Yes, I know, this is getting old.)
• CAs and related issues
  • I worked on CA applications from Cisco, S-TRUST, and WISeKey.
  • I gave final approval for Digicert to have its root enabled for EV (bugs 403644 and 416827).
• Conferences and events
  • Zak Greant spoke at the Southern California Linux Expo February 8-10.
  • I worked on arrangements for CSUN and (with Marco Zehe) for SightCity.

Upcoming trips and events

• I’ll be attending (at least part of) the CSUN conference March 10-15 in Los Angeles CA, the Freedom to Connect conference March 31 and April 1 in Silver Spring MD, and (if possible) the Berkman@10 conference May 15-16 in Boston MA.
• Zak will be speaking at the PHP Quebec Conference March 12-14 in Montreal, and other events later in 2008.

A reminder: We’re still accepting donations to the Mozilla Foundation through our directed giving program. Help support Bugzilla, Camino, SeaMonkey, and the Mozilla accessibility project, as well as general Foundation activities for the coming year.
