Life After Netscape For Mozilla Developers

Posted by timothy on from the life-goes-on dept.

An anonymous reader submits "MozillaZine has an article up on life after Netscape for Mozilla developers formerly employed there. Several developers are now employed by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation in full or part-time positions, others have been hired by IBM and Daniel Glazman was contracted by Lindows to write web publishing application Nvu. Another group of developers have joined together to form Mozilla Consulting to work on customized Mozilla enhancements. The amount of interest by non-Netscape companies in Mozilla is surely a positive sign for the future of the project."

    ASK RED HAT CEO MATTHEW SZULIK

    Question for Mr. Szulik (+5, Interesting)

    Mr. Szulik,

    After fucking the very community that made you successful up the ass, do you wipe the shit off your dick? Or do you just make us suck it dirty?

    Thanks,
    A Red Hat Fan.

    Red Hat Fan:

    We have found that an ass-to-mouth approach gives our customers the most choice. They can either suck my dick clean, and then continue on with a non-shitty dick, or they can swirl the feces around in their mouth. Additionally, I am changing my name effective immediately.

    Thank you,
    Matt Spermlik
    CEO Red Hat Software

    As far as non-profits go, don't you think that funding a web browser is pretty... I don't know... stupid? I mean, there's people starving, people dying, people oppressed, and they're running a company based on building a web browser.

    Color me jaded, but do people just not care about other people anymore?

      Interesting post. Too bad it's modded 'flamebait'.

      After reading this site for a few years now, I'm of the opinion that a hell of a lot of slashdotters don't 'grok' human beings or human relationships, and are pretty immature and socially inept.

      Thus the importamce attached to 'news that matters' - i.e. News that Matters only if you are a mildly autistic, monomaniac technofile perhaps.

    Is it true that XPCOM depends on your version of C++ compiler?. Is it true that compiling Mozilla with Cygwin breaks plugins compiled with MSVC++?. Is it true that in Mozilla project there isn't any interest in remedy this?.


    How could Mozilla be called a platform then?.

    Sure, from time-to-time I get complaints that website X wouldn't work with Mozilla but for the most part they are happy.

    People complain that Microsoft software is buggy, but it's A-OK for Mozilla to suck and not render some websites! The glorious double-standard emerges!
