99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
netscape is a course known for it's netscape navigator product

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
first commercial rows on the web so first of all first generation really use to get on the web

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and successful for a while and then competition became quite stiff from microsoft the different way to compete would be by building a shared asset

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
such as netscape versus microsoft that netscape would gather contributions over volunteer and other commercial produ-- commercial partners and build a product that will be shared

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and that good for people knew that to be open source you had to be real

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
he couldn't just say "oh we're open source love us"

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you really had to manage it different way engine

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so at the time there was six or seven or eight of us who are employed by netscape

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who is now sold out our staff and another 100 or 150 employed by netscape as

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
netscape engineers build a netscape product and contributing their work

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to the mozilla open source project so we are all in the same building

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they all went to many in the same meetings but we had a slightly different calls

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because although we call it the netscape product

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
netscape had been purchased by AOL already

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and so the client itself was diminishing and importance and the important

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
netscape client to push traffic to the AOL
