Mozilla.org is 20 years old
I was an intern at Netscape in 1998 and I'm really glad to have been there to witness a bit of the history. The first staff meeting I attended was announcing layoffs, two weeks later they announced the open source initiative, then two months later the launch of Mozilla.org.<p>Code Rush touches on all the work that went into making the code buildable by folks outside, but one thing they omitted probably surprises no one: the sheer amount of profanity that had to be scrubbed from the source code before it was released. Some genius assembled a page of the choicest examples (much of it directed at Microsoft) and handed out hundreds of photocopies at the launch party.<p>Hell of a first job in tech.
