It's time for Hug Day!

Hello Ubuntu Lovers,

We're organizing the tomorrow hug day the package selected for this hug
day is: GNOME Power Manager, so far we have:

* 112 New bugs
* 40 Confirmed bugs
* 37 Incomplete bugs

Bookmark it, add it to your calendars, turn over your egg-timers!

* Tuesday October 14.
* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20081014

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 your help to get those eyes from blogs to bugs. Let us
combine blog-powers to educate, "Bug work is a fun way to get involved!"
I think the best effect will be if we coordinate together in our blogs:
* Publish about the Hug Day Tuesday Oct 14 to get everyone excited.
* Hug some bugs and add yourself to the HugDay's wiki for your readers!

Make a difference: Join the Hug Day on Tuesday 14. We will be in
#ubuntu-bugs (FreeNode) all day and night, and will be ready to answer
your questions about how to help.

If you're new to all this, head to
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingWithBugs

Have a nice day,

pedro.

Re: Getting out the vote for the Fedora 10 election season

Hi, I can not seem to log into Fedora Forum! I tried to contact the Administrator, nothing worked!

Paul, can you e-mail me the answers to the questions I e-mailed earlier the day after Fedora 10

is released, it's so appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm a bit late in replying to this, but I'm completely in favor of what
Pascal suggests above. Probably we'll have to be pro-active in prompting
candidates to respond to a template of some sort. Something along the
lines of:

1. What are the biggest problems with the Fedora Project which you seek
to address and how?

2. What is your relevant experience?

3. Are there other changes which you envision?

4. Are there areas or issues which you intend to completely avoid?

5. Any other?

It would be interesting to offer candidates the opportunity to comment
on each others' platforms or mandates but this requires that we get this
processing going soon. As I look over the above it sounds a bit
controlling and I can imagine that some candidates would prefer not to
be constrained by any template, but it might be easier to compare ideas
if they follow some sort of formatting conventions.

Best wishes,

11 Web companies on the brink?

11 Web companies on the brink?

Looking inward from the widening global economic crisis, we can see in our backyard several companies that we love, that are even popular, but that are badly exposed to a contracting economy. Web start-ups that haven't started beta-testing their business models or that are relying on advertising from the hardest-hit industries -- travel, finance, real estate -- are in danger. I've listed 11 companies that I worry over. Most of them I like, and I want to succeed. But that's not enough to make it so.
