This is a long overdue blog post, so it’s also bit long. In the latter half of last year, as part of the work on the Mozilla Foundation 2020 Strategy and 2016 Business Plan, I was thinking about KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).

Thoughts about CRM, from Whistler

These are two topics that interest me greatly. I’m basically copying some of my notes into… Continue reading Webmaking in the UK, and face-to-face events
