Melissa Shapiro, Mozilla’s public relations lead, recently announced that Mitchell Baker and Joi Ito were both included on BusinessWeek’s list of the 25 most influential people on the Web. “Each year, we turn to readers and BusinessWeek staff for the Best of the Web list, asking them to contribute names for a list of the Internet’s movers and shakers.” Watch the full slideshow, which includes all 25 honorees, over at BusinessWeek.

David Humphrey writes, “The Free Software and Open Source Symposium (FSOSS) is scheduled for Oct 23 and Oct 24, and online registration is open. There are various early bird rates, so register early. This year’s line-up includes many familiar Mozilla faces. The list of speakers is long and diverse, and represents the best of the web, the open source desktop, open source business, policy, law, etc. We’re also going to be running a track on Teaching Open Source, which will bring together professors, students, administrators, and community leaders to discuss the potential and challenges of taking students into open source projects.” For more information, check out David’s full blog post, and check out the FSOSS web site.
