  • Marcia Knous: My Name Is Marcia Knous
    Olivia Ryan: Can you just state your name? Marcia Knous: My name is Marcia Knous. OR: Just give us your general background. How did you come to work at Mozilla and what do you do for Mozilla now? MK: Basically, I started with Mozilla back in the Netscape days. I started working with Mozilla.org shortly after AOL acquired Netscape which I believe was in like the ’99- 2000 timeframe. I started working at Netscape and then in one capacity in HR shortly after I moved working with Mitchell as part of my shared responsibility, I worked for Mozilla.org and sustaining engineering to sustain the communicator legacy code so I supported them administratively. That’s basically what I did for Mozilla. I did a lot of I guess what you kind of call of blue activities where we have a process whereby people get access to our CVS repository so I was the gatekeeper for all the CVS forms and handle all the bugs that were related to CVS requests, that kind of thing. Right now at Mozilla, I do quality assurance and I run both our domestic online store as well as our international store where we sell all of our Mozilla gear. Tom Scheinfeldt: Are you working generally alone in small groups? In large groups? How do you relate to other people working on the project? MK: Well, it’s a rather interesting project. My capacity as a QA person, we basically relate with the community quite a bit because we have a very small internal QA organization.

  • IFIP AICT 404, Pp
    Identifying Success Factors for the Mozilla Project Robert Viseur1,2 1 University of Mons (FPMs), Rue de Houdain, 9, B-7000 Mons, Belgium [email protected] 2 CETIC, Rue des Frères Wright, 29/3, B-6041 Charleroi, Belgium [email protected] Abstract. The publication of the Netscape source code under free software li- cense and the launch of the Mozilla project constitute a pioneering initiative in the field of free and open source software. However, five years after the publi- cation came years of decline. The market shares rose again after 2004 with the lighter Firefox browser. We propose a case study covering the period from 1998 to 2012. We identify the factors that explain the evolution of the Mozilla project. Our study deepens different success factors identified in the literature. It is based on authors' experience as well as the abundant literature dedicated to the Netscape company and the Mozilla project. It particularly highlights the im- portance of the source code complexity, its modularity, the responsibility as- signment and the existence of an organisational sponsorship. 1 Introduction After the launch of the GNU project in 1984 and the emergence of Linux in 1991, the Mozilla project was probably one of the most important events in the field of free and open source software at the end of the nineteenth century (Viseur, 2011). It was a pioneering initiative in the release of proprietary software, while commercial involvement in the development of free and open source software has accelerated over the last ten years (Fitzgerald, 2006). Netscape was the initiator.

Als Untersuchungsobjekt wurde die Sparte der Sprachdienstleistungsunternehmungen gewählt, um einerseits eine thematische Abgrenzung des Umfanges an Softwareprogrammen zu gewährleisten und andererseits eine Empfehlung für eine spezielle Sparte der Softwareanwender abgeben zu können. Nach der thematischen Abgrenzung und einer theoretischen Einführung in die Aspekte der Softwarelizenzierung erfolgt ein Auszug über die auf dem Markt befindliche freie und Open‐Source‐Software.
