0.2 Release

Due to some complications with my current project, I am currently altering my attention to another project that is similar which requires to perform documentation. The project i am contributing to is Interface Reference Documents with project leader AJ Rehman. Eric Sheppard from Mozilla is current assisting with this project and guiding us through step by step. I currently got a tutorial from AJ on how to create documentations from .idl files and it was very simple and straight forward.

Eric Sheppard gave me a number of .idl files to document and some of it was challenging. The .idl files at times were complicated and long so it took a while to document to the correct templates. The documentations that I have made can be found here under 0.2 release heading.

Fixing a bug in Thunderbird

WOW! Fixing a bug in ThunderBird. This sounds more complicated then it seems. I had trouble finding out what was wrong and where the source of the problem is. It took a LONG time... however I did learn how the process works. File a bug, fix it, post it, get a review, and is approved. Its a process that i was not fimilar with until now.

Free Software and Open Source Symposium (FSOSS)

I attended the Free Software and Open Source Symposium (FSOSS) 2007 at Seneca College this year and it was amazing. There were so many people attending from around the world and the session talks were very informative. After attending, i felt i learn a lot from what people accomplished and how the open source community operates. Other then attending this symposium, I volunteered and helped out with registration which was a good experience. I am already thinking of returning next year without hesitation.
