An overview of origins, past, and present
Starts on day 1 (2021-02-06) at 15:15 (Brussels time, UTC+1) in room Mozilla (duration 00:45)
Matrix room #mozilla:fosdem.org
We sometimes hear statements like "Mozilla is one of the oldest Free & Open Source projects in existence today, with more than 20 years of history - and still going strong". But where exactly did this project come from? What happened early in its history? What did the project go through to come to where it is today? This talk will try to answer those questions and compress multiple decades into less than an hour - or at least give an overview of the big-picture events this project lived through. As the audience may be more familiar with recent than earlier years, more emphasis will be put on times when the project was still young - for some things even reaching back to times before the speaker joined the community in 1999. After attending this talk, you will hopefully have a better understanding of the background of the Mozilla project and how it has helped shaping the web for the better, something that will hopefully continue into the future.
