Seeing them phrase it in bullshit business-speak really increases my confidence.
I am actually really glad to see this happen, Mozilla needs a massive refocus on what actually matters (Firefox, Thunderbird, new tech etc).
there was once a time when mozilla was at the fore front of tech development and they were churning out extremely cool tech one after the other. Servo, DeepSpeech, Firefox reality (wolvic is the successor in case anyone was wondering), a TV browser (Why did they have to kill this of all things off T.T) and others.
I want to see mozilla put more focus, and more importantly, a larger portion of the money they receive on actually doing things.
The Mozilla Foundation is reorganizing teams to increase agility and impact as we accelerate our work to ensure a more open and equitable technical future for us all.
and you close group that make public impact?
advocacy is still a central tenet of Mozilla Foundation’s work and will be embedded in all the other functional areas
that mean they dilute group across mozilla?
We find ourselves in a relentless onslaught of change in the technology (and broader) world, and the idea of putting people before profit feels increasingly radical.
so not be capitalist asshole radical? why you not radical mozilla?
Navigating this topsy-turvy, distracting time requires laser focus — and sometimes saying goodbye to the excellent work that has gotten us this far because it won’t get us to the next peak. Lofty goals demand hard choices
if goal so high that need to layoff, maybe just set goal lower?
They laid ground for Servo, let’s build new one from it.
For a relatively long time I was under the impression that Servo is pretty advanced, but after the last weeks news, I’m not so sure anymore.
It’s likely prepping for loss of income from Google
