Mozilla's dev team shares Firefox secrets in T.O.
If you're thinking about open sourcing a project in the near future, Mozilla Corp. might be the perfect blueprint to follow. At this week's Mesh 2008 conference in Toronto, several key figures behind the success of Mozilla's Firefox Web browser listed inclusively and transparency as two of the top cornerstones of any community-built project.
Mike Shaver, chief technology evangelist and founding member at Mozilla, said that because the Web is intended for everybody, the level same openness should be shared with Firefox's open source contributors.
"How do you have control when you don't have authority, and cohesion when you don't have the paychecks?" Shaver asked. "It's starts with having visibility throughout the breadth of your organization."
And that visibility, he said, should extend to the open source contributors.
