Sobre o Asa Dotzler:

Asa Dotzler is the community coordinator for several Mozilla projects.
He is the founder and coordinator of Mozilla's Quality Assurance (QA)
and Testing Program, which has grown from just a few contributors when
Asa joined the project to tens of thousands of volunteers today. As the
Quality Assurance lead, Asa works with Mozilla's volunteer QA and
testing community to ensure excellence and to certify applications for
release.

Asa is also co-founder and community coordinator for the Spread Firefox
project, launched in October 2004, where he spearheads open-source
marketing projects. Spread Firefox is charged with empowering Firefox
community members to raise awareness of the popular Web browser. When
he's not helping new QA and marketing contributors, he's working with
drivers@mozilla.org, the project management group at Mozilla, to define
requirements and development roadmaps for the Mozilla projects.

Asa has been an active member of the Mozilla community since 1999. After
volunteering for more than a year, Asa joined the Mozilla organization
and has played a key role in delivering products including the release
of Mozilla 1.0 and the release of the award-winning Mozilla Firefox Web
browser and Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail client now used by more than 60
million people combined worldwide.
