Thanks for the sentiment Asa. I also feel that the core team at Mozilla is the reason we have such impact. I'm a part of that of course, but it was definitely a joint effort.

I'm in Kigali, Rwanda for the Global AI Summit on Africa. Participating on a few panels, learning, and meeting fantastic people. Longer post at LinkedIn and mitchellbaker.net.

Topics I’ve been thinking a lot about, and will be writing more on these soon: what it means for open to win, especially in AI, and how to use business as a tool for mission focused work. Full post at linkedin and mitchellbaker.net.

There are a lot of things about Mozilla that I’ll set aside, at least for now. At the same time, there is a lot of learning from the last 20 years, both positive and negative, that can can inform questions of technology and organizational dynamics today. I'm hoping that I'll also learn from you.

First I want to say hello and be clear how happy I am to those of you who have chosen to (re) follow me in this new post-mozilla era. My current plan is to mix the topics of technology today with learnings from Mozilla. Sometimes that will occur in the same conversations, sometimes separately.

Hi! I have tons of thoughts! That said I'm going to chill for a bit. In my experience it takes a while to decompress and built a new perspective . I'm going to let that happen for a bit.
