FF4 Testing program

2010-11-22 Thread Dereck Wonnacott
If you haven't yet, check out the latest beta for Firefox, Click the
feedback button and check out the happy and sad face. (Cool)
Leave some feedback either way and check out that experience. (COOLER)
Now you'll be given a link to their new feedback website thing. [1] (WOW!)


Now this is one heck of a cool idea! I REALLY wish I could integrate this
into LP and replace the 'report a problem' button in the help menus across
all of main.

Way to go Mozilla, excellent idea.

Kevin,

Hi! Welcome to the team, I'm not sure if anyone got back to you about your
desire to get involved. While I am not familiar with gnome-device-manager I
can lend general advice. I recommended you go for whatever scratches your
itch. :)


The following portal will guide you through getting started with getting
sources, packaging, testing, and submitting your work.
There is a lot of information on the wiki, more than you'll ever need to
know.
http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved


I assume that you are familiar with #ubuntu-motu on irc.freenode.org? If you
haven't yet done so, pop in and introduce yourself, IRC is great when you
can't find the information you need on the wiki.


Welcome to the team, let me know how/where you get stuck and never give up!!

I was unaware that a free nx-server edition existed. :) I love NOMachine and
look forward to a native package in universe.

Hug Day!

2008-06-30 Thread Dereck
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Fellow Ubuntu Lovers!


My name is Dereck Wonnacott, hanging around IRC as Awsoonn. I'm helping
the incredible Pedro by organizing this week's HUG DAY! I'm new on the
block, so if you have any comments &| ideas please send me an e-mail.
Enough about me, lets get rolling.

This week's target is *drum roll please* Xorg!
 * 135 New bugs need a hug
 * 39  Confirmed bugs just need a review

Many bugs appear to be old and the only action needed is to ask the
reporter for the status. Xorg Needs You! *finger points*

Bookmark it, add it to your calenders, turn over your egg-timers!
 * Thursday July 3rd
 * http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20080703

Can't stress it enough: everyone can help!

BLOG IT! Especially those on the Planet! There are people who want to
help but don't know how and sit on the sidelines of the blog-o-sphere
reading; I need help to get those eyes from blogs to bugs. Let us

I think the best effect will be if we coordinate together in our blogs:
 * Publish about the Hug Day Thursday July 3nd to get everyone excited.
 * Hug some listed bugs and add yourself to the Hug Day's wiki!

Also, the Global Bug Jam [1] is coming up faster and faster, Lets get
the energy up and the community excited for it, starting now. This
should go really well wrt Mark Shuttleworth's latest blog post about bug
management. [2] I think we can splash Mark's ripple into a wave.
