JavaScript Inventor Brendan Eich Named New CEO of Mozilla

Posted by samzenpus on from the man-with-the-plan dept.

darthcamaro (735685) writes "Mozilla today announcedthat Brendan Eich would be its new CEO . Eich had been serving as Mozilla's CTO and has been with Mozilla since day one — literally day one. Eich was a Netscape engineer when AOL decided to create the open-source Mozilla project in 1998. The choice of Eich as CEO seems obvious to some, after a string of recent short-tenured CEOs at Mozilla's helm."

    Dear Brendan,

    gay people have the rights to be miserable too.

    Signed,
    someone who hopes more gay men means more single women.

    Dude, if that ain't an understatement. Not only are you not gay, I'd wager you're not even mildly jovial.
