What’s happening at the Mozilla Foundation? This post contains the presentation slides from our recent Board Meeting, plus an audio interview that Matt Thompson did with me last week. It provides highlights from 2014, a brief summary of Mozilla’s 2015 plan and a progress report on what we’ve achieved over the past three months.

I’ve also written a brief summary of notes from the slides and  interview below if you want a quick scan. These are also posted on the Webmaker blog.
