Goodbye Evolution 4 Comments

11:39 on 30 June 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts, Planet Ubuntu

I haven’t used Evolution for long, but I’m already saying goodbye to it. It turns out that some emails disappear. I once looked in the inbox of my @qense.nl address, because I found it suspicious that I hadn’t gotten a new email for a long time and there I found a mail from Launchpad. When [...]

Ubuntu Wanted Site – II Comment

13:30 on 27 June 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts, Planet Ubuntu ,

I’ve already wrote about this idea a while ago. In the meantime some people told me they really liked it, but I was also told that it needs more details. I’m writing this post to update the idea and afterwards I’m going to create a Blueprint, because someone asked for that. This is however not [...]

Back to Bugs Comment

I’ve decided to try to join the Ubuntu BugControl team again. Instead of doing other things within the opensource community I ended up with playing Sauerbraten. It’s a great game, but playing it doesn’t make Ubuntu better, which does happen when you triage bugs. The Hug Days have become less successful lately, which [...]

Automatic system cleaning Comment

17:25 on 23 June 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts, Planet Ubuntu , ,

I’ve posted a new idea:

It’s about keeping track of your system and cleaning it every once in a while. All files that aren’t registered, except user data, will be removed. I’ve explained this quite detailed in the idea, so please read it to get a better idea of the idea.
I hope it can [...]

Resigned as bug triager Comment

16:03 on 21 June 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, Planet Ubuntu

I’ve decided to leave the Ubuntu BugControl team. I felt that I didn’t do enough work and that the work I did do wasn’t of such a high quality. I also didn’t enjoy the ‘work’ very much. I’m finishing the bugs I’m currently working on, but that will stop soon.
I also cleaned my Launchpad account [...]

Ubuntu Wanted Site 1 Comment

13:57 on 13 June 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts, Planet Ubuntu ,

At the Ubuntu brainstorm website I posted this idea:

It ’s about creating a website for the Ubuntu Community where people can place temporally advertisements for things a team needs(new team leader, programmer for upstart) and infinite ads(bug triager, MOTU member). They should also of course explain how to get the ‘job’.
I was thinking who should [...]

Switch to Evolution 5 Comments

I’ve been using Mozilla Thunderbird for years now and found it the best email client available. Well, at least from the ones I knew. And Incredimail isn’t such a good competitor.
But I did miss something. Some things just didn’t go really smooth and I wanted to integrate it more with GNOME. Of course, [...]

A new New Users Network 1 Comment

18:37 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts, Planet Ubuntu ,

This is the idea I posted at the sounder mailist: An extension to the New Users Network
“Hello,

A while ago I joined the Ubuntu Youth team and asked what they were
doing. I was told
that the only purpose yet of the team was the #ubuntu-youth IRC
channel where young
Ubuntu users could gather and communicate. That didn’t sound much [...]

Bug Triaging Suggestions 2 Comments

14:23 on 8 June 2008 by Sense Hofstede Blog Posts, English Posts, Planet Ubuntu ,

While I was browsing Ubuntu Brainstorm I found a great idea. Biehl suggested to socialize bug triaging a bit and use the data gathered from hwtest to improve bug reports.
This is what he said:
“Bug-tracking/triaging is part of the social foundation of free software. However this aspect is not implemented efficiently at this time. Therefore I [...]

I’m finally able to do some computer work this weekend! All the big things are over now, so I can concentrate a bit more on things I should concentrate on. I’m going to try to finish triaging the bugs that are currently on my list and create a basic new layout for the website of [...]
