the big two five is swiftly approaching

Blake Ross, over at his weblog, is looking for feedback on how we can celebrate all of the people who helped us get to 25 million downloads of Firefox 1.0.

I've been working with the rest of the Spread Firefox admins, Daryl Houston, Chris Messina, Bart Decrem, Chris Beard, and Rafael Ebron, over the last few days to get things back on track at SpreadFirefox.com.

We had our pow-wow on Friday and I'm feeling re-energized about taking Spread Firefox to the next level. We're just getting off the ground with this community marketing effort and if I can make the time, I'm going to be more involved with it going forward.

Head over to Blake's blog if you have any good ideas for how to celebrate 25 million downloads.

The best thing you can do from my point of view is to demonstrate how much better Firefox is going to get. I may be getting the wrong idea but there seems to have been somewhat of a post-1.0 lull in the MoFo community. Understandable I suppose but wouldn't it be great to say "We've got 25 million downloads and it's not stopping there. Version 1.1 will have feature X, Y and Z!". At the moment the most active news out of MoFo is the boring focus of bumping up the Linux and Mac compatibility. Excuse if this post is off topic, I just don't want to see the momentum of Fx lost.
