They’re calling for new Web apps that can help people make a difference while browsing the Web, allowing them to find and share actions on websites, blogs and social networks. Submissions are due April 3, 2009 and winners will be announced at NTEN’s <a href="http://www.nten.org/ntc">Nonprofit Technology Conference</a> on April 28. More details are available on the <a href="http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2009/02/23/harnessing-firefox-add-ons-web-apps-to-make-change/">Mozilla Blog</a>.</p> - -<p><a name="labs"></a><strong>Labs Meetup, Mountain View + London</strong></p> -<p>Join us on Thursday, February 26th for our Labs Meetup, a monthly event where we discuss Labs projects, your projects, and the Open Web. This month there are going to be Labs meetups in both Mountain View and London! Guest speaking in Mountain View will be Edwin Khodabakchian, developer of Feedly, a Firefox extension that weaves Twitter and Google Reader into a magazine-like experience. The London meetup will kick off with updates on Labs, the Concept Series, the Design Challenge, and Open Innovation. For more information see the posts about the <a href="http://labs.mozilla.com/2009/02/mozilla-labs-meetup-thursday-226/">Mountain View event</a> and the <a href="http://autological.wordpress.com/2009/02/23/mozilla-labs-meetup-london/">London event</a>.</p> -<p><a name="marketing"></a><strong>Mozilla Marketing mailing list</strong></p> -<p>Alix and Jay have dusted off the old Mozilla.org Marketing mailing list and are bringing it back to life as a central discussion forum for anyone with an interest in promoting the Mozilla mission, Thunderbird, Firefox, or SeaMonkey. There are two ways you can sign up for and/or read the discussions, either by subscribing to the <a href="https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/marketing">mailing list</a>, or through <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.marketing/topics">Google Groups</a>. More information can be found in <a href="http://patrickfinch.net/2009/02/20/the-lazarus-of-mozilla-marketing/">Patrick’s weblog post</a>.</p> - -<p><a name="project"></a><strong>Mozilla Project status meetings and notes</strong></p> -<p>Every Monday at 1:00pm Pacific time the Mozilla project holds a open meeting in which people from every part of the project provide a quick status update and highlight important events, news, and other goings-on. You can participate in these meetings in real-time by telephone, or by watching the newly revamped <a href="http://air.mozilla.com/">Air Mozilla</a> (if you’re using Firefox 3.1 beta 2 or newer, at least). The IRC backchannel for these meetings is #staffmeeting.</p> -<p>More important, perhaps, is that the meeting notes are compiled in a wiki page every week, providing a thorough overview of what’s going on throughout the project including upcoming releases, planned infrastructure changes, release engineering, security, support, metrics, add-ons, web-dev, evanglism, marketing, and more. These meeting notes are incredibly valuable and are a great way to get a quick overview of what’s going on across the breadth of the project. These are archived on the <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/WeeklyUpdates">Mozilla Wiki</a>, and updated weekly.</p> -<p><a name="frank"></a><strong>Frank Hecker: Catalyst for the Web</strong></p> -<p>Mozilla’s Frank Hecker has been named the 2009 Catalyst Award winner. The Trace Center will present the award to Frank at the opening session of the annual CSUN Conference on Technology and Persons with Disabilities conference in Los Angeles on March 17. “Frank Hecker was chosen for this year’s award because of the pivotal role he has played in enabling people from across industry, academic, and the public sector to focus on open source accessibility. He has brought people together and given young people support and opportunities to both learn and contribute to accessibility. Frank has had industry-wide impact by funding and supporting open source projects to advance accessibility and drive down future costs to people with disabilities.

Online courses give us a quick way to try out new ideas for learning content. They also offer an opportunity to reach out to anyone anywhere who wants to learn alongside Mozilla, college student or not. The first online ‘course’ is the <a href="https://labs.mozilla.com/">Mozilla Labs</a> Concept Series Design Challenge. It mixes up webinars by people from the Mozilla community with a future browser design contest. It is targeted primarily at user interface design students, but others can participate as well.” The interview runs about 13 minutes and you can find it and other information at <a href="http://commonspace.wordpress.com/2009/02/18/interview-pascal-finette-students-and-open-innovation/">Mark’s weblog</a>.</p> - -<p><a name="camino"></a><strong>Camino schedule update</strong></p> -<p>Smokey Ardisson has posted about the revised Camino 2 schedule and plans. “Right now we’re hard at work on the last two major features for Camino 2, one that’s under development and one that’s still being polished to the point where we’ll consider it shippable. On the other hand, Camino 2.0 Beta 1 has been out for a while now, and we have a handful of significant Gecko fixes, new Growl support, and a handful of smaller improvements that have landed since then. In light of those items, we decided to insert a new beta into the Camino 2 schedule. The localization and feature freeze will still coincide with our final beta (now to be Beta 3), but in the next week or so we’ll release Camino 2 Beta 2.” See the <a href="http://www.ardisson.org/afkar/2009/02/22/camino-schedule-update/">original blog post</a> for further details.</p> -<p><a name="education"></a><strong>Mozilla Education update</strong></p> - -<p>David Humphrey has written up another post about the growing <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Education/">Mozilla Education</a> effort. “One of our first goals for Mozilla Education is to make it easier for students and educators to get connected to Mozilla project work, and for the Mozilla community to get project ideas into the hands of new contributors. We want to be a conduit for communication between academics and the community. I’ve been doing this for a number of years now, and we have some informal means for doing it. However, we want to have this scale to a much larger group of students from many institutions.” David has gathered ideas and feedback into a <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Education/Projects">set of guidelines</a> for marking bugs as “good potential projects”, and has outlined a number of ways that more people can get involved in this effort. See <a href="http://vocamus.net/dave/?p=395">his blog post</a> for more information and to take part in this discussion.
