Foundation Updates
Since there was no Mozilla call last Monday, this update includes items from the past two weeks.
- Grants and related activities
- The Mozilla Foundation made a grant to the Perl Foundation to support Perl 6 and Parrot development.
- We're funding some work by Eitan Isaacson to follow up from his project to migrate the Orca screen reader for Linux to the pyatspi library, including in particular improving the performance of Orca with Firefox. This project also includes work covered by GNOME bugs 448848, 446277, and 491862.
- We're also funding Codethink Ltd to do a study to evaluate the feasibility of porting the GNOME AT-SPI accessibility interface from ORBit to D-Bus, in order to ensure that the accessibility infrastructure used by Firefox on Linux is as up to date as possible.
- Dojo 1.0 was released with lots of accessibility-related enhancements, including those developed by the University of Toronto Adaptive Technology Resource Centre with funding from the Mozilla Foundation; for more information see the final report on the project.
- Scott Haeger completed milestone 3 on his work to implement rich document browsing in Orca with Firefox.
- Frank wrote a blog post about Seneca and open source education.
- CAs and related issues
- Frank published version 1.1 of the Mozilla CA certificate policy.
- Frank worked on the SwissSign and TÜRKTRUST applications, announced his intent to approve SwissSign for inclusion, and started a public comment period on this issue.
For more information see the status reports from David, Frank, Gerv, and Zak as they're posted.
Upcoming activities
- Frank will be in Mountain View for the December 12 Mozilla Foundation board meeting.
