              COMPUTER SYSTEMS LABORATORY COLLOQUIUM
               4:15PM, Wednesday, December 04, 2002
       NEC Auditorium, Gates Computer Science Building B03
                   http://ee380.stanford.edu<[1]>
                   
Topic:    Mozilla
          Mozilla and Open Source, Our Project Dynamics, and Exploitable
          Technologies

Speaker:  Scott Collins
          mozilla.org and AOL/Netscape

About the talk:

This presentation is an introduction to Open Source development
on a large scale from the perspective and experiences of the
Mozilla project. It covers Open Source, the strategies and roles
that have enabled successful distributed development in this
project, and a breakdown of the resulting exploitable machinery
and technologies in mozilla. This is a technical talk that will
be useful to people who want to better understand what Open
Source is, how to succeed in an Open Source project of their own,
or who want to hack on mozilla code or UI, either as a
contributor, or for their own projects (or both!).

Learn what mozilla can do for you, both now and when you're
looking for a job!

About the speaker:

Scott Collins has been a participant and contributor on the
mozilla project since its inception. Some of his initial
contributions to the project were chronicled in the PBS
documentary "Code Rush"<[2]> as Netscape undertook efforts to put
their browser into the public domain. He is currently the lead
(technical) evangelist of the "Mozilla University"<[3]> effort that
is underway to promote the use, understanding, research and
development of mozilla technologies in a variety of educational
settings.
