Our very own Mitchell Baker will be on Charlie Rose tonight. You can email questions and find local listings by visiting the Charlie Rose link.
If you know people that are interested in learning about what we're doing here at Mozilla, this should be a great way for them to get a first look inside of the Mozilla Foundation.

Thanks for putting the notice up. I just got back to my hotel room (I'm still in NY), saw your note, followed the listing at 11:45 and found out that the show starts in at 11:30. Turned the TV just in time to see the interview. Literally.
It wasn't very focused on the Mozilla Foundation, I hope people are OK with it. I had expected to talk more about open source and such.

Posted by: Mitchell Baker on April 21, 2005 09:00 PMWas a good interview, you did very well.
I like how you pointed out that no browser will ever be totally secure and keeping browsers secure is an ongoing process. I was worried when he (Charlie Rose) said the first thing he hears about Firefox is how secure it is, and I thought oh no, I can hear the people now lashing out at this interview saying its not that secure blah blah.
Surprised you or he didn't name a link tho even once. Woulda been good to just say people can get Firefox at Mozilla.org or GetFirefox.com.
Posted by: Mike on April 21, 2005 09:29 PMGood point. Also, the linux question was a good place to describe our cross-platform strategy and why it's so useful, and I misssed the opportunity completely.
drat!

Posted by: Mitchell Baker on April 21, 2005 10:26 PMnot mentioning the link is probably no problem at all. people will just google "mitchell baker" or "firefox" and find the right pages.

Seriously, Class effort !
Posted by: RC on April 22, 2005 02:57 AMI think the interview suffered a bit because Charlie seemed out of his depth. Usually, on a topic he's comfortable with, he'll ask interesting follow-up questions. Then it's more of a conversation then a Q&A.

So...did you get to meet Sydney Pollack?
Posted by: A`ja on April 22, 2005 07:13 AMI thought the interview was fantastic. Nicely done!
