Bug tracking month for Bulgarian web L18n

We’ve started a campaign to make our locale better. More than 500 000 Bulgarian every day using localized content from Mozilla and we think they deserve a better quality. We cannot afford to pay big numbers as Google does for localization, but for every confirmed bug  you will get a @mozilla.bg email address and maybe something else, if the bug is very nasty one :) ))

If you read/understand Bulgarian, Join our effort now., if not, why don’t you start similar action for your own locale – we can help you with some advices.

Bulgarian Mozilla community Rocks!

P.S If you will go to FOSDEM, feel free to attend my talk about communities and to eat some Belgian chocolate at the same time.

 

Is it (Mozilla) Jetpack still confusing?

If you want to create an unique technology maybe you should to create an unique name or create an unique strategy to connect the term with your technology and leave others alone :)

Currently there are a lot of JetPack terms related to technology:

0. JetPack me – Great, great WordPress plugin
1. Microsoft JetPack
2. A game
3. An AD system
4. Mozilla JetPack

Do you think It’s a bit still confusing for a developer who is looking for some help to find it?

Converting your IDE into a powerful JetPack machine

I just started a project at GitHub to add a command bundle for my Aptana IDE (it’s Eclipse based) for Mozilla JetPack.

Right now it’s just a skeleton and contains only ‘cfx – run’ command, but the main idea is to create bunch of snipplets and to add more command in near future for rapid JetPack development.

Here are some screenshots:

Here is how the menu looks like:

Let’s see it in action:

You can use the shortcut also (CTRL +R)

If you want to download it or if you want to join this interesting project, please visit GitHub or drop me a line here.

To see it with good quality, click Right button – and select ‘View Video’ or select “Full screen”

This video shows what happens after ‘CTRL + R’ combination (see above). The automation is real :)
