Always cool to hear about another vegetarian! I've been vegetarian myself for the last 8 years and i totally agree, cheese is probably the hardest part (vegetarian/vegan). But imo, to be vegetarian is way enough, we save so many animals and we now know that eating meat doesn't help the earth at all or the hunger problem :)

Open source is truly the future...nice to see the phone companies catching on and doing this.

This is a great idea. I'm really excited about the possibility of working with something like this.

Good luck!

It's good seeing BugsEverywhere isn't left to die. The idea behind it is very interesting - it's nice to be able to track bugs offline and along with the code branch. However, I didn't really like the fact that the bug tracker data and source code live in the same tracker.

Hi Steve,

I don't think you're doing it wrong -- as I mentioned in the article, I think a centralized bug tracker (implemented as just another client) is entirely compatible with BE. I'd be interested to hear more about your experiences!

A backend to Trac is going to help enormously: once you have a world-class bugtracker able to transparently use BE in a manner compatible with centralized workflow, there'll be very little reason not to use BE and allow your developers who want its advantages to take them.

Cheers,

Chris.

We tried BE, but we needed to be able to have a sync between BE and a centralized bug tracker. Individual developers like using BE for their own local branches, but our QA team wanted a centralized Bugtracker (and only dealing with unified/centralized milestone releases). I'm still not sure if we were just "doing QA" wrong, or whether it was legitimate to want to do it hybrid.

Looks cool. I've watched some of the distributed bug-tracker stuff from afar, waiting for one to materialize. I'm sick of having times I'm disconnected from the 'net when I can't do productive work because I don't have all the relevant data. And I'm also sick of having my work be slowed down in annoying ways even when I do have network connectivity, due to the storage and access methods for that data (i.e. centralized on some server across the world instead of on my harddisk where I can get at it quickly). Distributed VCSes are one part of the solution in my opinion, and I'm convinced distributed bug trackers are the next part.

Sadly, I'm spread too thin and thus will likely only be cheering you on rather than contributing.

Yes, looks cool. It depends on who is making things over there. If apple produces there, I have no doubts. But last week I got a backgammon set from my boss "made in China". The smell was so awfull that I put it in the trash.

Fascinating. I'd heard people talking about things like this before, but I don't think it clicked until now. Good luck with it!

The moko seems promising. However the Iphone also uses Linux freeBSD so the potential with that is also huge, plus it's much prettier :)

I am on my first steps with git and had some trouble with branches. Searching for some hints I come accross your site. Bad to read "hate branches all over again". However, git seems to be very straightforward and fast. And good to know that there is great emacs support for git.

cheers, maca

I've never seen such a laptop design. I've recently purchased the new MacBook Air which is very cool, but this design really takes your breath away.

Well, about 1 year later an Israeli company revealed their secret the modu which is by far a better invention that will very soon take over the cell phone industry.

I'm sorry, but Congress never voted on this war, if you recall. That's why it's an illegal war, or, some may say, not really a war at all. So, much as I agree with you that Obama's character far surpasses Clinton's, and much as I hope to see him in office, it's important that you keep in mind that NO ONE voted for OR against this war.
