what other options exist for funding this organization ?
If I were to brainstorm, I would recommend that Mozilla folks start go after enterprise market; almost every bank I have consulted for uses awful and poorly made GUI application using Swing or C# and most are struggling with Mobile. Since Mozilla is crossplatform and secure , I do think there is opportunity to offer training and support for customizing and hardening Firefox for enterprise business applications.
- kevingadd 13y agoGoing after the enterprise market wouldn't earn Mozilla any tangible amount of revenue.
- manishsharan 13y agoI do not understand your remark : enterprise market is traditionally viewed as very lucrative. RedHat, Jboss , SpringFramework folks are doing remarkably well in the enterprise market though they had roots in free and opensource software movement.
- wmf 13y agoBrowsers are a unique market. IE is free and most enterprises would prefer to use it anyway. Mozilla would have to pay most enterprises to switch to Firefox.
- judk 13y agoIt had been so man years that modern browser technology can probably easily emulate the ActiveX/ie6/winforms or whatever crap those enterprises run.
