Random notes

Some of you may recall the Mozilla Digital Memory Bank project being run by the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University; among other things they’ve published a series of interviews with various members of the Mozilla project. More recently the Firefox extension Zotero created by CHNM was included in the Firefox Campus Edition.

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 Washington Post that Dr. Rosenzweig had died last Thursday. Please join me in expressing condolences to Dr. Rosenzweig’s family and the staff at CHNM.
