Firefox Ad Support Miracle
Less
than one day ago
SpreadFireFox.com
made the appeal I featured
below. Their ambitious goal was to reach 2500 donations (each of $30 or
more) in 10 days.
As of 10PM EST tonight, they're 3 people away from their goal. With 9
days left, we might be able to run the ads in the 10 most
widely distributed papers in the US. The support is amazing. It makes you
wonder how many other projects have armies of people waiting and wanting
to help in any way they can, even if they can't program.

We're Taking Out A Full Page Ad!
The
Open Source community is banding together around 1.0 the release of
the
first true mainstream desktop application to come from our combined
efforts. I've watched Firefox grow from a fledgling project based off
of
the monolithic Mozilla Browser into the premier web
browser for security, speed, standards compliance, and ease of use.
Even technophobes who try Firefox out are quickly won over by the tabbed
browsing and pop-up and spyware protection. It really is a world class
user application, and it's about to become the #1 browser in the world.
To help it along, we're taking out a full page ad in the New York Times.
I say "we" because I've already made my pledge. Join me, and
contribute
to the biggest event in open source software uptake since apache won the
server wars.
