Heya Listers!
Let me first begin by thanking all of you who replied to my E-mail by either making it more off topic or otherwise :)
It is true there once existed IE then Firefox and then the rest followed. This is a win-win for Mozilla since that was its primary reason to exist, which is to bring sanity to the web and push for open standards on the web. If it were not for Mozilla, it is highly likely that the only browser that would be there in the market currently would be IE!
Mozilla gives you a voice on the web to say what aggrieves you or what doesn’t make you happy. If it is the RAM consumption, browser keeps crashing or any other error. See [2] for a fix on that. Mozilla answers to no one but you. We do not have shareholders who keep us on the toes but our users are our greatest responsibility. We are the browser with a mission and a browser guided by principles..Mozilla has its system of tracking bugs at [3] and I would recommend you to file any bug related to our products there. There is almost someone always on the other side waiting for you to click the save this bug button!
At the panel I talked about the costs of internet and that go back button w/o a reload would save us some Mbs :)I also suggested that they should look into mobile as most of the peeps here access the web via their mobile devices and not any type of devices but the likes of Nokia 1680c. This was as per the data provided at Wordcamp 2012. Our desktop users are missing out on great features like Firefox sync on their ‘low-end' mobile phones.
Firefox for Android now supports the ARM V6 gadgets and I advice you give it a run and if you find any errors go to [3]. FYI, Mozilla is coming up with its own OS for Mobile and Tablets which shall be launched next year. It is currently in its testing phases with support on several devices. The OS is made of CSS, JavaScript and HTML5. This OS is targeted for the global south who can afford Smartphone worth $100 USD and lower. This is an ignored market by both Android and obviously APPL plus the likes of RIM. So we are not coming in as competitors!
As always Mozilla’s cornerstone is volunteers and everyone is welcome to join. You do not have to be C++ guru or even know what that means you just need to be a web lover to contribute. There is a Mozilla Community meet-up coming on 8th December in Nairobi…Follow @mozillakenya on Twitter, Like facebook.com/mozillakenya or subscribe to our low-traffic mlist at [4] for announcements on events and other Mozilla related stuff.

Tell them that Kenyans surf and know more about the internet than an average conservative white female in Arizona! *NO MYTHS HERE!* And also any average Kenyan surfing the net anywhere in the world has a better QUALITATIVE Secondary school education, or even further, in some cases, a better qualitative and/or analytical university degree to boot! *Things they either wouldn't accept or DON'T KNOW AT ALL!*

Hello folks!
I will be in a panel in Singapore later today where my role shall be pointing out the various 'myths' about internet in Kenya and generally the global south.
I would like to request for pointers and direction to some other handy info to paint a clear picture about this.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Stephen. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke ------------ List info, subscribe/unsubscribehttp://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------

on mobile FF should have targeted the Opera Mini market and also come up with a version that competes with that
