Cnet is reporting that a "Thank You" full page advertisement that was supposed to run in the New York Times this past month is going to be delayed... Again... It seems that their having problems selecting just the right font to fit the 10,000 people's names on the page that donated to make Firefox possible, and still have room to say "Thanks for supporting us!"

The ad appears to have become a temporary victim of its own success. The Mozilla Foundation's novel fund-raising campaign to run a full-page ad listing financial contributors rocketed past expectations, attracting so many donors that Mozilla is still struggling to fit their 10,000 names on the advertisement.
"It's taken a little longer than we'd originally planned," said Rob Davis, a Mozilla volunteer in Minneapolis who spearheaded the ad effort. "We'd hoped the ad would have run by today, but it's turned out that it's not a three-week process to get all this stuff together; it's a four-week process." |
On the plus side, Firefox, or Mozilla Powercow (as FireSomething, one of the downloadable extentions, is displaying for me right this moment) is reaching the 10 million download mark! I can honestly say that 4/10,000,000ths of that mark is me! I downloaded 4 copies sofar, and plan on making it more every time I reformat a customers PC! |
