Latest Mozilla press coverage in Spain

As mentioned on my blog last week Tristan Nitot and Pascal Chevrel were in Spain for a few days to meet with our many local communities there. Tristan was also key-noting at the Internet Global Conference. Whilst there they found some time to meet with Spanish journalists and bloggers to update them on the up-coming launch of Firefox 3. Anne-Julie has been keeping us abreast of all the great press clippings, so thought I’d share some of them with you here. More to come over the next days/weeks:

Mozilla in Spain this week

Actually not only Tristan, but Pascal as well. 🙂

Its a jam-packed start to the week –

Yesterday:

We held local community and blogger dinner in Barcelona with Tristan and Pascal

Today:

Tristan was keynoting at Internet Global Conference – his topic was “Thousands of voices to one final product: how the Mozilla community makes Firefox”
Here’s their description of the session: Tristan Nitot, founder of Mozilla Europe will explain how the Open-Source Mozilla project is organized so that thousands of contributors around the world can work together to produce a complex, but easy to use software product such as Firefox, used by 160 million users in more than 40 languages. Nitot will also discuss how the Open-Source model is enabling distributed innovation.

Elpais, a major Spanish daily has already written about the talk: http://www.elpais.com/articulo/internet/Mozilla/democracia/meritocracia/elpeputec/20080520elpepunet_4/Tes

Then lots of press meetings all day planned with VilaWeb, El Punt, AVUI and Dossier Economic de Catalunya

Tonight:
Moving on to Madrid to host another local community and open source dinner

Tomorrow:
More press meetings talking about the soon to be launched Firefox 3
Hosting a round table – more infromation on this soon

Good luck Tristan and Pascal, you are going to be very tired – but its going to be worth it!

We look forward to hearing more from you soon!
