JavaScript inventor Brendan Eich has been named CEO of Mozilla, the company he co-founded and where he already had been working as CTO.
In a blog post today, Eich said the board of directors had appointed him CEO effective immediately. As CEO, Eich pledged to visit all of the company's offices and the places where Mozilla is bringing its Firefox OS and $25 smartphone. "Mozilla is about people power on the Web and Internet -- putting individual users, who create as well as consume, above all other agendas. In this light, people-fu trumps my first love, which you might say is math-fu, code-fu, or tech-fu (if I may appropriate the second syllable from kung fu)," Eich wrote.
