Mitchell Baker (our fearless leader and Chief Lizard Wrangler at the Mozilla Foundation) blogged last night about the creation of Mozilla Japan and Mozilla Europe. If you're as interested in how the Mozilla community is evolving as I am, you will really enjoy this post.
In addition to announcing the formation of the new Mozilla Japan affiliate, Mitchell shares some background on the creation of Mozilla Europe, telling of the determination of the leadership in that geographic segment of our community to have a more formal organization. I haven't had a lot of involvement with our European community but I was fortunate enough to be invited to Japan for the Mozilla Gumi-hosted Mozilla 1.0 developer event and party. I was the featured speaker at their gathering, which included hundreds of enthusiastic participants and I was just overwhelmed by the excitement and the sense of community there. I came home with a new and better understanding or how large this project and how powerful it's contributing base has become.
I hope to be posting more regularly on the various components of our community and how they have made the difference in bringing Mozilla to where it is today. Stay tuned.
