However, due to a personal matter, Finke is  unable to attend and has elected to donate proceeds of his prize to  Mozilla\u2019s Open Web Fund, dubbed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drumbeat.org\/\">Drumbeat<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeveloping  for the Web means that I can reach every connected person in the world  with a single point of contact rather than having to develop apps for as  many platforms as I can make time; the Web has proven to be the only  true cross-platform solution,\u201d says Finke. \u201cKeeping the Web open means  continued instant and unfettered access to my audience &#8211; no app store  approval process, no third party constraints. \u00a0I can&#8217;t imagine it any  other way, and the Open Web Fund is advancing this cause in a very real  way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drumbeat  is focused on supporting practical projects and local events that  gather smart, creative people around big ideas, solving problems and  building the open Web. Thanks to Chris, $2500 will go to support  Drumbeat\u2019s various efforts and put these valuable dollars to  extraordinary use. Take a look at some of our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drumbeat.org\/projects\">featured projects <\/a>that will benefit!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The  Mozilla community believes we can, and must, keep the Web open,&#8221; says <a href=\"http:\/\/commonspace.wordpress.com\/\"> Mark Surman<\/a>, Mozilla Foundation Executive Director. &#8220;That\u2019s why we  appreciate the support of those who can participate in practical ways by  providing raw material for new kinds of innovation, creativity, wealth  and democracy. We encourage others, like Chris, to participate in  building a better Internet and keeping the Internet open for the long  haul.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks  again to everyone who contributed their time and energy to the Mobile  Add-ons Cup and an extra thank you to Chris for his wonderful gift and  commitment to keeping the Web open and free for everyone to enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Add-ons Cup \u201cBest in Show\u201d winner, Chris Finke, won his title for developing Tapsure, an add-on that alleviates the pain of typing on a phone by allowing you to input passwords on sites by tapping a rhythm on your &hellip; <a class=\"go\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/mobile\/2011\/01\/26\/best-in-show-add-on-developer-gives-back\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":181,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[119,53,1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/181"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/mobile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
