There’s a ton of great stuff going on at Mozilla. So much so that it can be hard to keep pace at what everyone’s up to and what’s going on. So I’d like to bring back an old tradition by doing a very informal IRC Q+A/chat with Schrep. This would be a great […]

Update: branch seems to be working again and was actually a […]
