Next Thursday , the Thunderbird quality assurance team is conducting an online social event. The goal of that event is to migrate some volunteer users from their current 2.0.0.x Thunderbird profile, to the new 3.x series. If you are running older versions like 1.5 or 1.X series, you are welcome to join too :-)
The QA team wants to find out any issue(s) that might come up when people are upgrading, so the developers have time to fix them before we ship 3.0 final.
We are doing this on a specific date in order to provide support to the people who want to participate and figure out with them how to fix, report the issues they are having post-migration. This will happen online through a web based real time chat (the same discussion will be available on irc in #tb-qa)
So we are looking for brave souls willing to give a try to Thunderbird 3.0b4 and actually running Thunderbird 1, 1.5, 2.0 ...... so if you use any of those versions to :
- Read newsgroups
- Read Feeds
- Pop email
- Imap email
- or any combination of the above
Consider joining the event and come enjoy the new features of the Thunderbird 3.0 series (even if it's still a beta).
This event will be held on Thursday October the 15th - The team as set up a web page with more information. So write down this date on your calendars and join us next Thursday and switch from older versions of TB to the latest.
If you are wondering the team as switched a long time ago - we still have a few machines that we will migrate along side other people who come and participate.
