Mozilla 1.0 Release Parties

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the git-yo-pawty-awn dept.

Screaming Lunatic writes "With the release of Mozilla 1.0 almost here, the open source Mozilla community is planning a bunch of parties all over the world. You can choose to attend a party already planned somewhere in the world or start up a party in your own neck of the woods. The main party will be at 8pm Wednesday, June 12, 2002 at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco." Currently 37 parties listed, but many of them look awfully lonely... none near Ann Arbor yet ;)

    what a bunch of geeks. It's a commodity. Nothing special.

      Successful? It took 5 times as long to get to version 1.0 than MS did with IE. Open source fanatics like to rant about the bugs in IE and other MS products, well there are still plenty in mozilla. It's not like it's a perfect piece of software. In this case MS is much more efficient.

      Open source shows it's strengths in Linux. Open source code and standards and a few companies selling the OS and enterprise services to go along. You've got redhat, IBM and a few others. Mozilla shouldn't be a poster child for open source. Linux yes.

    It took the guy an entire year to rehab a single nightclub, and he's still moaning about the long Mozilla release schedule?
