Care to expand on that?
- FigBug 10y agoMozilla spent $15k to remove the word slave from documentation.
- rockdoe 10y ago"Buildbot: $15,000. Buildbot is a continuous build and integration system which has been immensely valuable to Mozilla over the past few years. Their award will be used to remove the term “slave” from all documentation, APIs and tests, and also to make improvements so Buildbot works better in the Amazon EC2 cloud." I don't think the documentation part of that is gonna take 15k USD.
- jldugger 10y ago15k doesn't really go far when you're buying CI servers, colocation, and paying someone to watch them.
- al_chemist 10y agoMozilla fired CEO / Creator of JavaScript for donating money on anti-gay-marriage campaign.
- Sylos 10y agoThey didn't fire him. Brendan Eich stepped back himself after public backlash for that anti-gay donation.
- orionblastar 10y agoReally a PR move forced Eich to resign because he donated money to a charity that was against gay marriage. When Eich did resign conservatives boycotted Mozilla with the Nozilla campain because they gave into Liberals. So Mozilla got hit by both sides of politics.
- cookiecaper 10y agoEich resigned so that the Board wouldn't have to fire him. It wasn't really a voluntary withdrawal.
