Hello everyone!

After two years as Community Manager for Mozilla Philippines, I’m stepping down. I’ve really enjoyed leading the community but I’ve made this decision based on a huge personal move.

Eusebio “Jun” Barrun will take the reins in leading the community and I couldn’t have wished for a better person to be the next Community Manager– Jun has been a consistent and solid contributor since the community started and his work for the Student Reps initiative had broken ground on establishing Mozilla’s presence in various schools.

It was a pleasure working with everyone and all I really can say are words of gratitude to the folks who’ve supported me and our community. Special mention to Mozilla’s Gen Kanai, Mary Colvig, and William Quiviger for helping the Mozilla Philippines community immensely.

Again, thanks to everyone!

Good news! Mozilla’s William Quiviger will be in Manila and there’s going to be a meet-up with him on August 26, 2011 (Friday) at 6:30pm. The venue is still TBA, but it’s most likely going to be in the Makati area. The venue will be at the UP-Ayala TechnoHub in Quezon City.

William is part of Mozilla’s Contributor Engagement Team and he is one of the main proponents of the Mozilla Reps program. He has expressed his excitement over meeting the Mozillians based here in the Philippines.

The event will be an informal get-together (so don’t be shy!), but expect a lively discussion ranging from Mozilla to William’s Filipino roots.

If you’d like to join the meet-up and get together with fellow Mozilla Firefox fans and volunteers, feel free to email me at regnard@raquedan.com.
