On the blink

I love the new badges from Mozilla.com. Check them out at SpreadFirefox.

Hi all!

This weekend there is a meeting in Sevilla, Spain about blogging, bloggers and Internet in general. It is called EBE (Evento Blog España) and around 900 people will come to Sevilla to participate on that.

Nukeador, Dukebody and me, all members of Mozilla-Hispano community and Proyecto NAVE, have been invited to stay there, maybe not for our blogs (who knows this blog?) but sure for our implication on the open Web and open standars.

It is a unique opportunity to met a lot of known people of the Spanish Blogosphere and talk with them about Mozilla, and how we can help them to use Firefox, Thunderbird and take a lot of feedback to improve our market-share in Spain.

As Choffman told to Nukeador, we are going to play some games to spread the word of Firefox and Mozilla and share our knowledge about Mozilla and its products as well as take a lot of impressions.

And maybe we can steal some souls to help us in our projects

Wish us good luck

After our long trip to Whistler, Canada for the Mozilla Summit 2008, we have now a small trip, only 3h in our awesome high speed train to Barcelona.

This weekend (25th and 26th of October), we are going to a new conference (EU Mozilla Camp 2008) where (please, don’t go ) I have a conference about using Firefox, with Nukeador, dukebody (members of Mozilla Hispano) and Alina Mierlus, member of the Mozilla Rumania community. We are talking about Thunderbird, Songbird and another XUL Dark Matter (programs built on the top of Mozilla Source Code).

So, see you tomorrow!

We have Fennec 1.0a1

Nice build, a lot of bugfixes, only works on Nokia N800 and N810, and Windows Mobile builds are on the way, but there are builds of Fennec for Windows, Mac and Linux. Check it out here.

But since M8, we have a very nice feature: Tracemonkey.

Type about:config in the awesome(fennec) bar. Filter by: jit and activate (to true) the two preferences.

Maybe Tracemonkey for Firefox is: “Hey! Gmail looks like it is a little bit more smooth”, but for Fennec (where processors are slow), “Hey, it tooks only one second!! not 5!!”

So, Fennec Team: THANKS!!

Yes, I survived the Summit 2008.

Very nice work by IntotheFuzz. Awesome Summit!

Well, long time ago I tried Weave (0.1 version) and I left behind in a second, but I don’t remembered why.

Today I was reading something about Ubiquity (I will blog about this awesome extension in a few days, when I have played with it), and suddenly: Weave. Why not give it another chance?

The answer could be: it’s full. Nobody can sign-up now. The server is crowded, so it’s slow, buggy… And yes, it is full and crowded. But you can create your own Weave’s server. And I did on my Dreamhost server (this how-to is focused in Dreamhost, but could be adapted).

Bugzilla is nowadays widely used in the bug tracking world. But only 10 years ago, it was a small project on the Netscape community.

It first release was 10 years ago and run under Oracle (”it cost too much”) and Kiva (”$35,000 at the time”). And on 26th August 1998, Bugzilla could run freely (under Apache and MySQL).

Long live Bugzilla!

Reference #1 and #2

First of all, I use Mercurial because of the change of many Mozilla products to this VCS. But I think that for localizers is enought to have CVS. Why? Because usually we are one or two different people with CVS access and more usually localizers only touch a part of his l10n. For example, in the es-ES team we are two members with access to Mozilla’s repository: Ricardo and me.

If yesterday I wrote a blog post about how to localize Fennec M4, today I read on the Mark Finkle blog that there is a new milestone in the Fennec development, the M6 (0.6). This is a pre pre pre pre alpha release, so use carefully.

I think I will try this myself in less than 2 weeks…

On the Summit 2008, csejersen and mic presented a conference about l10n Fennec (the new Firefox for mobile).

So, this is an interesting blog post about that.

Also, congrats to gandalf (from MoCo, and Aviary.pl member), you are a new l10n-driver!
