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.

Was 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.

Good 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!

not mentioning the link is probably no problem at all. people will just google "mitchell baker" or "firefox" and find the right pages.

I saw the interview and was very impressed. How many geeky cute womens we get to see on television?
Seriously, Class effort !

I 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.
