A Pragmatic Perspective by Nino D'Aversa

A Rare Place

To be honest, I still haven’t taken all this in yet. Being at Mozilla feels surreal still. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by a giant sectional couch and a massive screen. People just plop down and start working in different locations, what kind of office is this? Well it’s less of an office and more like a home. The people I have met so far are so welcoming and happy, it’s easy to be motivated around such amazing people. Conversations can go above my head sometimes, but its stimulating, there is so much to learn and really no better place to do it.

I have had some issues with my laptop, which have been resolved, the fourth one proves to not be kernel panic-y and has a functional disc drive!

The interns are organizing a movie night tonight and Anthony and I are putting together some plans for a trip to Las Vegas this weekend. I also want to check out LA before I leave, which we are tentatively scheduling for next weekend.

As for the reason I’m here, to work on Fennec! After spending a lot of time setting up systems that proved to be duds I managed to build Fennec on OSX and get started on some Camera work. Stuart suggested that once the Fennec Alpha for Windows Mobile clears this week that I work with Brad to get the Camera stuff spec’d out and going. I have created a stand alone app for OSX that accesses the built in iSight camera and allows you to record video. I have plans to review Brad’s work on the Camera work for Maemo more closely so that I may have some suggestions when we finally get a chance to crash on that.

I’ll try and update as often as possible, cause I know people are interested!
