Friends of Mozilla

  • Ricardo Panaggio nominates Carlos Valim, aka Coragem (Courage in pt-br; he’s the man!), for his amazing Webmaker events in Brazil. You’re making Brazil a better place, creating a new path for a whole new generation of Webmakers here, our Mozilla Friend!
  • Thank you to former full time Release Manager, Christian Legnitto, who demonstrated being forever Mozillian and contributor post-employment in his first patch that means our users will no longer suffer when leaving out the ‘h’ in ‘http’ or other common url scheme errors – see bug 935377 — a much appreciated paper cut fix that will ship in April with Firefox 29  🙂
  • Webmaker community nominates Irfana Tabassum from Warangal, India. “I’m a newbie in Mozilla and heading towards contributing to Webmaker Project. Last week I created a small event with my neighbors.Please read my blog here.
