Your voice has been heardFrom my in-box this morning, I'd guess that we've made the point that the Firebird group is displeased with the decision of Mozilla to use "our" name. Now, we should stop broadcasting our dismay widely and focus instead on those people who can actually affect the decision. The point is not to smother them in accusatory or derogatory messages, but to inform them of the confusion we see coming from their product's sharing our name and the damage we think that will cause. From the Mozilla website: Mitchell Baker, Chief Lizard Wrangler () Mitchell is the general troubleshooter, spokesperson and policy arbitrator for mozilla.org. She works extensively with companies and projects using Mozilla. This involves explaining mozilla.org processes, listening to the needs of contributors, and seeking to integrate open source development techniques with the world of commercial software development. Asa Dotzler Asa is our community quality advocate extraordinaire. He joined mozilla.org to turbo-charge our quality programs and to further develop our volunteer QA and testing community. When he's not helping new contributors test Mozilla and report bugs he's working with drivers@mozilla.org to define requirements for and ship Mozilla milestones.
When writing to the Mozilla forum or Mozillazine, use the same courtesy we use with each other in our discussions. Better yet, use the courtesy that we often use when we haven't forgotten ourselves and jumped on a soap-box. Thank you, Ann |
