<h3 id="random-notes">Random notes</h3>
<p>Some of you may recall the <a href="http://mozillamemory.org/">Mozilla Digital Memory Bank</a> project being run by the <a href="http://chnm.gmu.edu/">Center for History and New Media</a> (CHNM) at <a href="http://www.gmu.edu/">George Mason University</a>; among other things they’ve published a <a href="http://mozillamemory.org/blog/">series of interviews</a> with various members of the Mozilla project.  More recently the Firefox extension <a href="http://www.zotero.org/">Zotero</a> created by CHNM was included in the <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/add-ons/campus/">Firefox Campus Edition</a>.</p>
<p>When the Mozilla Digital Memory Bank project was just starting I had the pleasure of meeting with a number of people at CHNM, including its founder and director, Roy Rosenzweig.  I was therefore saddened to read this weekend in the <em><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/12/AR2007101202489.html">Washington Post</a></em> that Dr. Rosenzweig had died last Thursday.  Please join me in expressing condolences to Dr. Rosenzweig’s family and the staff at CHNM.</p>
