Mozilla 10th Anniversary Party
We have cake!
Tonight, R and I attended the 10th Anniversary Part for Mozilla at the 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco.
There was quite a crowd there from Mozilla past as well as present. I didn’t get a good count but the place was packed wall to wall. It was enough that I did not manage to circulate from one end of the room to the other until we decided to leave.
Mitchell, Brendan, and Shaver all did a little speechifying for the masses and then the party continued.
Strangely enough, Frank Chu was also present… This led to a few conversations about our local icon/nutter.
Because I can, I must include the obligatory post of my QA peeps from MoCo:
Stephen "Pillsy" Donner and Juan "Hoooo-on" Becerra
(with Gary "Dazed and Confused" Kwong)
Stephen and Juan have worked with me on the QA for most of the Firefox and Thunderbird security releases for the last six months. For that alone, they should be called out.
Oh, and me, courtesy of Paul Kim:
The party was a lot of fun and I’m glad that everyone got a chance to celebrate 10 years of Mozilla. Mitchell had a good post about it earlier today for those that don’t know what’s going on.

Other than showing that JWZ is angry (in general) and is mad (in particular) that his club was not chosen to host the event, I don’t really know what I’m supposed to learn from the link to his Livejournal. He’s often quite pissed off about all sorts of things so this is hardly unusual.
I know for a fact that he was invited multiple times to come to the event. Since the room was crowded, I can’t say he wasn’t there but I doubt it by the tone of his post. He had a chance to come and chose not to do so.
So, what’s your point, really?

I’m sorry, I later found invitation on party on http://www.mozilla.org/party/2008/ and it looks it was open for everyone contrary to what JWZ said.

Ah, yes. As far as I know, it was open to anyone. There were certainly people there who weren’t associated with MoCo or Netscape. I spoke to a couple of people who were just fans of all things Mozilla.

Wish I could have met Frank Chu! Who are the people next to him?
