\n— Roberto Vitillo, Mozilla<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the third quarter, the Mozilla Open Source Support<\/a> (MOSS) program has made awards to a number of \u201cplumbing\u201d projects – unobtrusive but essential initiatives which are part of the foundation for building software, building businesses and improving accessibility. This quarter, we awarded over $300k to four projects – three on Track 1 Foundational Technology<\/a> for projects Mozilla already uses or deploys, and one on Track 2 Mission Partners<\/a> for projects doing work aligned with our mission.<\/p>\n

On the Foundational Technology track, we awarded $100,000 to Redash<\/a>, a tool for building visualizations of data for better decision-making within organizations, and $50,000 to Review Board<\/a>, software for doing web-based source code review. Both of these pieces of software are in heavy use at Mozilla. We also awarded $100,000 to Kea,<\/a> the successor to the venerable ISC DHCP codebase, which deals with allocation of IP addresses on a network. Mozilla uses ISC DHCP, which makes funding its replacement a natural move even though we haven\u2019t deployed it yet.<\/p>\n

\""High<\/p>\n

On the Mission Partners track, we awarded $56,000 to Speech Rule Engine, <\/a>a code library which converts mathematical markup into vocalised form (speech) for the sight-impaired, allowing them to fully appreciate mathematical and scientific content on the web.<\/p>\n

In addition to all that, we have completed <\/a>another two MOSS Track 3 Secure Open Source<\/a> audits, and have more in the pipeline. The first was for the dnsmasq<\/a> project. Dnsmasq is another piece of Internet plumbing – an embedded server for the DNS and DHCP protocols, used in all mainstream Linux distros, Android, OpenStack, open router projects like openWRT and DD-WRT, and many commercial routers. We\u2019re pleased to say only four issues were found, none of them severe. The second was for the venerable zlib<\/a> project, a widely-used compression library, which also passed with flying colors.<\/p>\n

Applications for Foundational Technology<\/a> and\u00a0 Mission Partners<\/a> remain open, with the next batch deadline being the end of November 2016. Please consider whether a project you know could benefit from a MOSS award, and encourage them to apply. You can also submit a suggestion<\/a> for a project which might benefit from an SOS audit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
