I’ve finally managed to get some work done this week, and I’m hoping the keep on a roll. I just found out that today is the first Thunderbird Bug Day. I feel Firefox Bug Days are really effective, and help clear through a lot of different bugs on the platform. They’re also a great way to become familiar with the large codebase, and learn how development decisions are made (in real time) which is pretty exciting. The action’s taking place in #bugday on irc.mozilla.org. Also, the Mozilla Addons site has been given a slick visual refresh.

If you haven’t heard of Foxkeh, the ridiculously awesome Mozilla Japan mascot, you should definitely stop by his blog. I’ve been so busy lately that I forgot to look at the March Wallpaper. I need to decide between rocking Ubuntu’s Hardy Heron or Mozilla’s Foxkeh as my background. I love gnome-look.org and everything, but I’m just so glad I don’t have to resort to these..

Also, listen to the Ubuntu UK Podcast’s first episode. Relevant and professional, it’s a great way to catch up on some Ubuntu news. It’s definitely been added to my list of favorite podcast, and I’m excited to see what these guys do in the future.

SCaLE6x was a blast. I had a lot crash on me this weekend, so I was only there for a little bit today, but it had an amazing atmosphere. Ars Technica has a good article about Chris Blizzard’s talk on the future of Mozilla and Firefox, which is exciting. Props to Neal, Nathan, and Seth for being awesome. I’ve only heard great things about the Ubuntu California booth

Sweet, the Ubuntu California LoCo team has been approved to be an exhibitor at the Southern California Linux Expo!

 I won’t lie, I’m pretty stoked that we’re going. I’ll update more when I’m not working on the Mozilla BugDay. (yes, gratuitous plug for more testers)
