Open Source Projects as part of MOSS “Mission Partners” Program

The Mozilla blog has announcedthe first recipients of its Mozilla Open Source Support (MOSS) "MissionPartners" awards. "For many years people with visual impairments andthe legally blind have paid a steep price to access the Web onWindows-based computers. The market-leading software for screen readerscosts well over $1,000. The high price is a considerable obstacle tokeeping the Web open and accessible to all. The NVDA Project has developed an opensource screen reader that is free to download and to use, and which workswell with Firefox. NVDA aligns with one of the MozillaManifesto's principles: "The Internet is a global public resource thatmust remain open and accessible."" The NVDA project received $15,000. Other award recipients include Tor, Tails, Caddy, Mio, DNSSEC/DANE Chain Stapling, Godot Engine, and PeARS. (Thanks to Paul Wise)
