This quarter, we awarded over $300k to four projects &#8211; three on Track 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/MOSS\/Foundational_Technology\">Foundational Technology<\/a> for projects Mozilla already uses or deploys, and one on Track 2 <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/MOSS\/Mission_Partners\">Mission Partners<\/a> for projects doing work aligned with our mission.<\/p>\n<p>On the Foundational Technology track, we awarded $100,000 to <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/getredash\/redash\">Redash<\/a>, a tool for building visualizations of data for better decision-making within organizations, and $50,000 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewboard.org\/\">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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isc.org\/kea\/\">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<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9532 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/MOSS_Graphic_V1-600x300.jpg\" alt=\"\"High quality and free open source accessibility solutions are important to deliver equal STEM education for all.\" - Volker Sorge, Speech Rule Engine\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the Mission Partners track, we awarded $56,000 to <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/zorkow\/speech-rule-engine\">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<p>In addition to all that, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/MOSS\/Secure_Open_Source\/Completed\">completed <\/a>another two MOSS Track 3 <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/MOSS\/Secure_Open_Source\">Secure Open Source<\/a> audits, and have more in the pipeline. The first was for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thekelleys.org.uk\/dnsmasq\/doc.html\">dnsmasq<\/a> project. Dnsmasq is another piece of Internet plumbing &#8211; 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zlib.net\/\">zlib<\/a> project, a widely-used compression library, which also passed with flying colors.<\/p>\n<p>Applications for <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/a\/mozilla.com\/forms\/d\/1Pa5IsuhT6vMUfg0HUXxr7SzrSwq5fpiZfZIJVPxN1Mc\/viewform\">Foundational Technology<\/a> and\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1rwYQTT-9-eldS-kElY646bMwMzJpxfL8lDskX86xgCQ\/viewform\">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 <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1f0xSg9XM8v7YGdZ_FzeE67ggckbAsg6sH1mpQ4buTQE\/viewform\">submit a suggestion<\/a> for a project which might benefit from an SOS audit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have worked with data at Mozilla you have likely seen a data dashboard built with it.
