Thunderbird Support Day February 2, 2012

  • When: All day February 2, 2012
  • Where: TB10 support issues Etherpad based on support topics in the official Thunderbird Get Satisfaction Forum or your favourite unofficial Thunderbird Support Forum and optionally in IRC at irc.mozilla.org, #tb-support-crew (if you don't have an IRC client installed, then try this web client: #tb-support-crew via the mibbit client ) - Roland Tanglao, the Thunderbird Technical Support Lead, will be monitoring the Etherpad and IRC 9a.m. Pacific - 5p.m Pacific with a break or two for lunch and coffee

Thunderbird 10 is going to be released January 31, 2012. Based on experience with prior releases, the first two or three days after the release are when the support community finds the issues with that release. Hence having the support day on February 2nd two days after the release on the 31st. The next Thunderbird Support Day is March 14, 2012 for TB11.

Thunderbird 10 is also the first ESR release and with the End of Life of Thunderbird 3.1 scheduled in April 2012, TB 10 will be the release that lots of folks will be upgrading to from TB 3.1 and in the Enterprise.

Therefore we are going to have a support day to try and collectively as a support community and more efficiently find these problems faster and help each other solve them.
