Planet MozillaPlanet Mozilla - http://planet.mozilla.org/Chris Blizzard: yesterdays guadec keynote - more links- July 10, 2008 I gave my keynote at GUADEC yesterday. I tried to make it fun and interactive for the audience, lots of questions, lots of heckling on my part and I tried to make fun of Miguel every chance I got. At the end I gave some demos of various bits of whats coming down the pipe for Firefox 3.next. Theres a bunch of stuff on the web about it now. Here are some links of interest: Robert OCallahan SVG Paint Servers For HTML Using Arbitrary Elements As Paint Servers Chris Double Video...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ChristopherBlizzard/~3/331450809/ Li Gong:- July 10, 2008 OperaOperaOperahttp://blog.mozilla.com/ligong/2008/07/10/%E4%B8%BA%E4%BB%80%E4%B9%88%E8%AE%B0%E8%80%85%E8... Songbird: No checkins since June 27th!- July 10, 2008 Community members who are close watchers of our Subversion repository may have noticed that its been stuck on revision 9803 for about a week and a half and may have wondered Hey, whats up Are you all on vacation Maybe still recovering from the Fourth of July Well, I can assure you that all of us here at the Nest have been working really hard on the next Bird release, Fugazi. The reason publicsvn hasnt received any updates is because on the 27th, I started work on reorganizing our Subversion...http://feeds.songbirdnest.com/~r/songbird-blog/~3/331417480/ Planet Mozilla Interns: Wei Zhou: killer-zz- July 10, 2008 This article is zz(meaning quoted in Chinese) from http:www.linuxjournal.comnode1000159 , yeah, its about 18 months old, and not totally accurate. This new competitor is called Maxthon, and, significantly, comes from China. This is relevant because the Chinese computer sector has tended to evolve according to its own rules. So while many sensible Westerners have seen the light and converted from Internet Explorer to Firefox, this is by no means the case in China. On the contrary: according to.http://weizhou.wordpress.com/2008/07/10/killer-zz/ Frederic Wenzel: Bonjour, iPhone- July 10, 2008 I recently saw this on the local network at the unversity: Well, at least the user was honest If he was aware that his iPhone would tell everybody of its existence through Bonjour That, I dont know.http://fredericiana.com/2008/07/09/bonjour-iphone/ Robert Helmer: openSUSE build service- July 9, 2008 Looks like the openSUSE build service can package up your software for a bunch of different Linux distributions, cross-compile, track upstream project dependencies (e.g. rebuild your GTK app when GTK changes), and runs on their servers so you dont have to maintain the thing. Add in Windows and Mac support and they might have something there This might be a great idea for a higher-level cloud computing service, setting up and maintaining this kind of infrastructure is a huge problem for many...http://roberthelmer.com/blog/?p=36 Joshua Cranmer: Mork and SQLite- July 9, 2008 As I was doing some performance testing for a bit of demorkification, I noted that what I was demorkifying was one of the few places where mork works well. The API makes it very clearly an EAV model, which is a model that makes mork happy. On a higher level, it would be hard to position it in a way where the queries only affect one row (or column of a row in mork).Mork is a model likes EAV and hates queries. That means keys need to be meaningful, since that's the only query you can do without...http://quetzalcoatal.blogspot.com/2008/07/mork-and-sqlite.html Taras Glek: Static Analysis and Refactoring Tooling Updates- July 9, 2008 Hydras I am close to landing a flow check. Turns out, it is super-easy to introduce new analyses into Mozilla due to a very nice build system hooks setup by bsmedberg. Since coming back from the GCC summit I have forward-ported our GCC patches to GCC trunk. The FSF legal paperwork came through today so I posted the first and biggest patch to the GCC for review. I am not sure if I mentioned this before, but the C port of Dehydra is somewhat operational. It doesnt yet have access to function...http://blog.mozilla.com/tglek/2008/07/09/static-analysis-and-refactoring-tooling-updates/ Dietrich Ayala: Better Tag Browsing- July 9, 2008 Tag Finder is a Firefox extension that lets you browse your tags in a manner similar to the column view in the Mac OS X Finder. It allows you to view related tags, and to traverse tag relations quickly. You can enable the view by clicking the tag icon on the toolbar of the bookmarks Library in Firefox 3. Installation does require logging into AMO, as the extension is still experimental.

I hope this is useful as a reference for other open source projects. It was our first truly integrated campaign drawing on social media, traditional PR, SEM, as well our own Mozilla web assets: our affiliate button program, our many blogs, Air Mozilla and our start page. The beauty of this...http://chickswhoclick.wordpress.com/2008/07/09/the-anatomy-of-world-record/ |
