I've just been looking at the Mozilla 2010 Annual Report. It makes terrific reading. But most of all I really love the video that they have brought out to accompany it. To say it's inspirational to the open source world doesn't do it justice. I have rarely seen so clear an exposition of the ideals that have led me to serve the Python community and the Python Software Foundation for the last few years.
Sure, Mozilla had problems when they inherited the Netscape code base. They have matured as an organization, and are currently clearly demonstrating the meaning of release early, release often with high-quality feature releases at frequent intervals. It makes me wish I could offer such inspiration to the Python community.
