Sound Juicer Loving
Over Christmas a load of gnome-love bugs in Sound Juicer were closed thanks to some wonderful people, so to keep people's interest (and try and gain some serious co-maintainers) I've gone through the bug list and marked more gnome-love bugs. There are thirteen bugs marked now, all of which should be no more than a few hours work each, making them perfect fodder for anyone who wants to get more experience with GNOME programming.

ross, wouldn't that make a wonderful GHOP task, like "fix three sound-juicer gnome-love bugs of your choice"? ;-)
(yes i know, you would probably have to spend some time to mentor a young student. however, you get more people into free software.)
see http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-gnome/wiki/HowToWriteAGoodTask , also if you have any other ideas for tasks.

Yes a social network that simply includes your friends and excludes the noise is called ...outlook.
why go onto a social network to sty in the same circles, that is not networking, its outlook.
Refusing to connect with someone to me personally is like rfusing to shake someone's hand
the power of the network is in the exponential reach to reach out and to inquire on subject matter expertise in my opinion. Referring to my request to connect as social whoring is unnecessarily insulting when the request to connect and learn from you is sincere.
When anothe rrecession hits, and it will, the power of exponential degree will determine the winners and losers in networking for knowledge and jobs.
As for financial, I have no financial motivation in creating teh site. I bought an iphone and was drawn to the discussion of the neo1973 and was impressed with the field. As an expert in social networking, I found I had agift that could raise the bar on a true community as compared to those I surfed through that still worked 1ith 1990s technology. Great discussions, fantastic people ..but I found the platform not fulfilling the potential of a true community.
I think there are more constructive ways of disagreeing, and I am fine if you do, but posting on it and using extreme languageto someone who merely offered a virtual handshake I think is the real non-producer in the discussion you raise. There is no value in insulting and no value in not inquiring on the benefits before you dismiss the potential alternatives.
I don't take it personally, but you should weigh that tehre are two schools of thought and you only discussed one
Do you want to know Ron Bates value of having 37,000 contacts? Well he can view search results that include 17 million people by third degree. You honestly dont see value in that? As somsone who does research to learn and develop your career I find that hard to dismiss. 17 million has no value to you? really?
You dont think that someday you may be unemployed as are your colleagues who you cannot have help you being in the same boat ... but that Ron Bates or myself will likely know the person you need to get a hold of to get your career jumpstarted?
Think about that scenario my friend. There is value in thinking of the alternative possibilities.
