… good question. Besides always wanting to go to SXSW 2010 Interactive (Austin, Texas), here are a couple of points which motivate our participation:
- Get to know how to develop open source software in a larger context/organization such as the Mozilla Foundation
- Experiment with a new, cutting edge technology
- Familiarize ourselves with the Mozilla software development landscape, in particular: other technologies/plugins which we may use for future development
- Get to know people with similar interests and ideas/networking
- Contribute to the evolution from the read-only to the read-write Web
- Give something back to the community for FireFox and the plug-ins we’ve been using all these years
- Enter the hall of fame of Web development
- Buy a real Stetson in Austin, Texas in March 2010.
