Speaker bio:
Mitchell is the general troubleshooter, spokesperson and policy arbitrator for mozilla.org. She works extensively with companies and projects using Mozilla. This involves explaining mozilla.org processes, listening to the needs of contributors, and seeking to integrate open source development techniques with the world of commercial software development.
Mitchell also spends a lot of time driving consensus as to how mozilla.org ought to manage the project, which suggests she may have a masochistic streak. She dreams of making the Mozilla project easier to understand.
Before joining mozilla.org staff, Mitchell was the attorney at Netscape responsible for all legal issues related to product development and intellectual property protection. During that time she wrote the Netscape and Mozilla Public Licenses.
