… and me too!
Today I joined Sandro and Christian in “Those Who Reviewed The Entire Debian Mailing Lists Spam Team”!
Helping with spam is one of my goals as a Debian Developer (I gained DD status on Aug 25, and started reviewing stuff on Aug 26), and I gave a look to the last ~2500 messages in the backlog during Christmas time.
Help is always welcome, it is not necessary to be a Debian Developer to tag messages as spam. For additional informations, see this wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ListMaster/ListArchiveSpam.
Gimme more! 
Distribuzione di Natale
Sono appena rientrato dalla Messa e, prima di andare a dormire, voglio giocare un po’ con l’ultimo passatempo che mi è capitato tra le mani. Niente installer grafico, bensì un tuffo nel passato con l’uso delle “slices”.
Vediamo se riesco a farci girare qualcosa di interessante ora
Deb-o-Matic, translators needed
… and when you’ve finished with GTG, you can give a go to Deb-o-Matic translations too, 19 strings are quick to process, so you will have a lot of time to try the software
Getting Things GNOME! 0.1.9, call for testing and translations
GTG developers recently released first beta of Getting Things GNOME!, you can see release notes here.
Final 0.2.0 release is due very soon. If you’re a GTG user already, or if you are looking for a task manager for GNOME desktop environment, you can contribute to the process by testing it (0.1.9 packages are already available in Sid and Lucid), reporting bugs or helping with translations.
Enjoy it! 
News from gdebi
After reading Zack’s post, I decided to help Gustavo and Michael maintaining gdebi in Debian, trying to get it in sync with upstream and fixing some bugs. Result was 0.5.9debian1 upload, which fixed 14 bugs (including annoying #493352, which I also plan to fix in Lenny).
That wasn’t enough, I also needed a vte fix to get rid of an ugly bug which prevented gdebi-gtk from installing anything, soon in your favourite mirror
If you have some free slots, there are some easy bugs you can work on, help is always welcome
What does “DD” mean?
Dungeons & Dragons? No time to play right now… no!
Dolby Digital? My PC doesn’t support it… no!
Due Diligence? We already did them multiple times last year… no!
Donald Duck? I like comics, but… no
Debian Developer? YAY!
I think I owe many people a beer:
- Cédric Delfosse, who originally advocated me
- Bernd Zeimetz, who assigned me an AM and reviewed my application
- Martin Meredith, my brave AM
- Christoph Berg, who approved my application
- Jonathan McDowell, who added my key to the Debian keyring
- Peter Palfrader, who created my account
Thank to the several Debian Developers who assisted me so far.
A special thank goes to Piotr Ożarowski for bearing with me
And now… stop celebrating, there’s a lot of work to do!
Ho deciso di scendere in campo…
… per partecipare alla crociata contro Mono. Il primo passo è fatto!
