This is something interesting -- Mr. Gong Li might be the Chairman and CEO of Mozilla China shortly.

Mr. Gong Li is a highly respected figure by many of the people working at Sun China Engineering and Research Institute (ERI). He graduated from Tsinghua University, and obtained his doctorate degree from Cambridge. While he was with Sun, he was a Distinguished Engineer, Chief Architect of Java Security, and General Manager of Sun China ERI. He left Sun and became the General Manager of MSN China in the summer of 2005, but left suddenly in November 2006 with no further information. Legal documents related to the Microsoft-Goole Hiring dispute revealed that Mr. Gong Li was pursueing a position at Google China before leaving Sun, but that position got hijacked by the notorious Kaifu Lee. After Gong Li's departure from Microsoft, there have been words saying that he is seeking an academic position at Tsinghua University. Well, this has been proved to be not the case by Mitchell.

Mr. Gong Li had a long history with the Mozilla project. It is Sun China ERI that maintains the Solaris version of Mozilla and FireFox. It is also Mr. Gong Li that helped the establishment of Mozilla China. Mitchell's blog did not disclose further arrangement for Gong Li's role and responsibilities, but Sin-Yaw Wang believed that he is going to be the Chairman and CEO of Mozilla China. Sin-Yaw Wang also pointed out that what Gong Li is joining is Mozilla.Com instead of Mozilla.Org.

Well, this seems to be a nice position, and we wish Mr. Gong Li all the best.
