I posted last week on the official Mozilla blog about the GWR certificate: http:blog.mozilla.comblog20080710mozillas-guinness-world-record-certificate Just wanted to shout out here before its too late to Ian, Davina, Charlie, and Peter at Glaxstar who organized and sponsored the event - we couldnt have done this without you!

David Eaves: The challenge of mozillas magnetism- July 14, 2008 Mozilla is unique. The project gets more media, more publicity and more buzz than virtually any other open source project. It is, in much of the publics mind, the poster child for open source and the open internet. More critically, this isnt some interesting observation, why this is the case, and what it means, is profound implications for the success of Mozilla, the open web and the future of the internet. I would argue that Mozillas uniqueness is not a result of being the most successful..http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EavescaMozilla/~3/335046257/ Wil Clouser: Planning your API is important- July 14, 2008 Im upgrading some code I wrote to talk to a new version of the Citrix NetScalers API. The NetScalers manuals (thats right, plural) weigh in at a combined 1114 pages so documentation isnt a problem and their implementation is a breeze using WSDL over SOAP. However, some of the core changes left me scratching my head. Case in point: To get an object out of the cache in the previous version the method signature was: getcacheobject(string $url, string $host, unsignedInt $port) $url in this case..http://micropipes.com/blog/2008/07/14/planning-your-api-is-important/ David Tenser: Im back in town!- July 14, 2008 I arrived in San Francisco at around 10:00 PM after a 45 flight delay with Delta Airlines, but didn't actually arrive at the incredibly Wild Palms hotel until 12:30 because of a major misunderstanding by the Hertz car rental dealer added with an unparalleled unwillingness to be service-minded and just ...http://djst.org/blog/2008/07/14/im-back-in-town/ Frederic Wenzel: Nice Firefox Wallpapers- July 13, 2008 I just stumbled across a collection of very nice Firefox background images. Some of them Ive seen many times (like always wear protection, which always reminds me of the natural mail enhancement pic), others are new to me, but they seem to be the work of some very talented designers in the Mozilla community, so make sure to check them out.http://fredericiana.com/2008/07/13/nice-firefox-wallpapers/ Mike Pinkerton: Pink 2.0- July 13, 2008 Things have been really hectic of late with Jo and Alaina moving in this month, so I haven't had much time to blog. My life has become very different, now suddenly being a full-time parent and my house is a lot smaller. Not in a bad way, just different and new. At least I'm drinking less, that's probably good, though the reverse of what I would have normally expected. I was one of the foolish who downloaded the iPhone 2.0 image, but thankfully for me it didn't apply (I even tried twice, what..http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/pinkerton/archives/019457.html Pascal Chevrel: European Community blog- July 13, 2008 I have just opened a multi-user blog for Mozilla Europe contributors, the posts will be in English and our European contributors will be able to explain what happens in their country related to Mozilla, here is the address: http:blogs.mozilla-europe.org The first blog post is by Cdric Corazza, French localizer and long term contributor to the Mozilla Project.

The formula was simple: users submitted, commented on and rated chunks of re-usable code. In particular the Python section formed the basis for O'Reilly's 'Python Cookbook' book. Unfortunately the other cookbooks never quite caught on the same way that the Python one did, and the web application powering the cookbooks ended up being fairly brittle and hard to maintain. Trent recently...http://www.openkomodo.com/blogs/jeffg/lets-get-cookin John Resig: HTML 5 data- Attributes- July 13, 2008 A new feature being introduced in HTML 5 is the addition of custom data attributes. This is a, seemingly, bizarre addition to the specification - but actually provides a number of useful benefits. Simply, the specification for custom data attributes states that any attribute that starts with "data-" will be treated as a storage area for private data (private in the sense that the end user can't see it - it doesn't affect layout or presentation). This allows you to write valid HTML markup...http://ejohn.org/blog/html-5-data-attributes/ QMO: Bugday, Tuesday 0715- Join us to triage unconfirmed Firefox and Core Bugs !- July 12, 2008 Start: 2008-07-15 04:00 Timezone: EtcGMT-8 Hi Everyone, Just another friendly reminder to join us Tuesday in bugday on irc.mozilla.org : Tuesday, 15.
