Ubuntu-bugsquad Digest, Vol 42, Issue 15

[David Crook]

Hello komputes:

I have registered on launchpad, user name flash, I have been
monitoring the IRC freenode chat room just out of curiosity. I am
going to reread the  ho to triage bugs and start with earnest after
the first of the year. any direction would be appreciated.

thanks

To all:  I would certainly would be interested in adopting the
nautilus bug reports


thanks

Hope I am more of an asset than a liability but I am looking forward
to the challenge

Happy Holidays to all
