Was it easy to give this talk?
I mean, you had to know you were lying through your teeth when you claimed that decision-making is pushed "to the edges" of Mozilla.
Everyone even mildly associated with anything-Mozilla knows that 5-10 people at Mozilla.COM make the relevant decisions... and if there's a decision that affects any one of your guys' resumes, you'll make sure it goes the "right" way. Which, of course, has nothing to do with what's best for the Mozilla community, or for the Web.
I suppose none of us should be surprised; it's not about reality as much as it's about perception. Right?
Keep up the great work, John!
(Which mostly has nothing to do with what Mozilla really should be about!)
P.S. I know how much you detest dissent within your own organization--we all know your "open door" policy is so you can ferret out those who disagree with you--I'll be interested to see if this comment even appears.
Two to one: it won't.

hi; i don't mind questions or dissent at all -- it's actually the only way that anything really good happens, as people need to push on things & challenge the status quo. it's how i *like* to work, and anyone who's worked with me for any period of time knows that.
if you've got real issues, send me mail to talk about them -- if you're the same person who's written before, i understand you must have specific things you want to talk about -- but to my knowledge none of these comments are grounded in any way. if you're mad about specific things, let me know and we can talk through them. i'm easy to find -- lastName @ mozilla dot com. short of that, it's hard to understand what you're unhappy about and address it.
for whatever it's worth, we do indeed push decisions as far out as possible -- we do it for routine things, we do it for significant things. we have many decision makers, in all functions.

Great deck, John. Would love to hear the voice over if you get around to it. Can you replace the PDF on slideshare with the original slides? I'd like to borrow some.

It was a very professional presentation. I guess Lily has been a great help.
