A couple of months ago I started posting about how I want to build a better world through technology and how I’ll be doing that outside of Mozilla going forward. The original post has many references to “open” and “open source.” It’s easy to think that we all understand open source and we just [ ]
I’m on my way to the Global AI Summit on Africa in Kigali on April 3 and 4, thanks to an invitation from the Ministry organizing the event. I’ll be speaking, but mostly listening and learning and hopefully connecting with people who are drawn to approaches that are open and creative. If you know someone [ ]
I recently posted about how I want to build a better world through technology and how we can build technology that promotes opportunity, agency, and public benefit. I’ve been thinking a lot about how we need to shape our collective understanding of the ethos of open source, and how to use business as a tool [ ]
I am driven to build a better world through how we build technology that promotes opportunity, agency, and public benefit.

We do so by building products that improve internet life, giving people more privacy, security and control over the experiences they have online. We are also helping to grow the movement of people and organizations around the world committed to making the [ ]
Gerv was Mozilla’s first intern. He arrived in the summer of 2001, when Mozilla staff was still AOL employees. It was a shock that AOL had allocated an intern to the then-tiny Mozilla team, and we knew instantly that our amazingly effective volunteer in the UK would be our choice. When Gerv arrived a few [ ]
