Departing from Mozilla Corp…

October 2nd, 2008 by

I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave Mozilla Corporation to pursue another employment opportunity. It has been an amazing 2.5 years and it saddens me that I will not be interacting as deeply with the Mozilla community. Yet, I expect to remain active as I’m huge supporter of the Mozilla project’s mission and goals.

Mozilla’s efforts are so critical to the vibrancy of the Internet and it sits at the nexus of a million exciting developments. So, I remain a big fan and will do what I can to continue to participate.

Thank you for the tremendous feedback about add-ons and AMO. Working publicly, radically, openly has forever changed how I manage and run projects. The torch has been handed to Mike Morgan (Morgamic) who has kindly agreed to take on general responsibility for AMO. Meanwhile, Rey Bango, our AMO Community Mobilizer continues his excellent work with add-on developers and editor outreach.

Rock On! Add-ons.
