Christopher Beard: Mozilla Labs

Last night we launched Prism, an experiment in bridging the divide between web applications and the desktop. And if you haven't seen it yet, please do check it out and let us know what you think and get involved as we iterate on the concept. We also have some additions to the Mozilla Labs team, and we'd like to make some belated introductions. To begin with, Firefox engineers Myk Melez and Dan Mills have joined Labs full-time, transitioning in as they complete their Firefox 3 responsibilities, to focus on user experience and personalization experiments. And Rhian Baker, from the Firefox marketing team, and coordinator of the Campus Reps program, has joined as a project manager. Also, please join me in welcoming Jay Sullivan, who joined us full-time about 2 weeks ago. Jay will focus initially on mobile user experience and product strategy. He comes to us with over 20 years of experience in the software industry and with deep expertise in mobile software and personalization. Most recently he co-founded and served as VP of Products at PocketThis (now PhoneSpots), a mobile software and services company. Suffice to say, we?re super excited to get things rolling, so stay tuned over the coming days and weeks as we roll out new programs, restructure the group, and build out a virtual lab where people can come together to create, experiment, and play with new ideas.
