Blues Thursday 3-18-2010 or Hug a Bug day 1

Good morning,

Glorious day here in the Allegheny  mountains.

Just jumping in where we left off in the last email
Christoph mentioned some of the really old Issues, with no activity for 
a goodly while.

so let's start with the Music <http://baseanswers.com/blues-am.ram>
A first fitting piece for wayward, lost issues adrift over time..
"When the spell is broken"

OK - Base unconfirmed issues 
<http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/buglist.cgi?resort=1&Submit%20query=Submit%20query;issue_type=DEFECT;component=Database%20access;issue_status=UNCONFIRMED;email1=;emailtype1=exact;emailassigned_to1=1;email2=;emailtype2=exact;emailreporter2=1;issueidtype=include;issue_id=;changedin=;votes=;chfieldfrom=;chfieldto=Now;chfieldvalue=;short_desc=;short_desc_type=allwords;long_desc=;long_desc_type=allwords;issue_file_loc=;issue_file_loc_type=substring;status_whiteboard=;status_whiteboard_type=substring;keywords=;keywords_type=anytokens;field0-0-0=noop;type0-0-0=noop;value0-0-0=&order=issues.creation_ts%2C%20issues.priority%2C%20issues.issue_type> 
and music.

So Two offers for everyone:

1) If you want to help today,  even if you don't have rights to change 
anything in the Issue tracking system.
- go ahead, look at that list of unconfirmed, sorted oldest first, issues
-- if it looks to you like that issue can just be closed - because maybe 
you actually do that type of thing
--- then either drop me an email and say
Drew close that issue - I just need the issue numer
or
--- drop by the irc channel irc://freenode/dba.openoffice.org-de and if 
I'm there say:
Drew close that issue!
or
maybe you know just the opposite - that the issue is actually still an 
anomaly
-- You know what to do, just reach out and touch someone.

2) Grab the ram file - 6 streaming mp3 files
-- the first of the musical venues on the bill for today

and maybe a third

Want to help with QA - let's get that taken care of - just say Hello

Spinning the Blues all day,

Drew
