Met with Ted Mielczarek ( Sept 15th, 2008 )

    On Tuesday after the conference was over I met with Ted and we discussed how I can get started on the PGO Project.

Created First Build ( Sept 17th, 2008 )

    I walked through the Mozilla documentation for how to build Firefox. I started here with getting the source code and continued until I received errors. Humph and Ted on IRC helped me sort it out and I successfully built Firefox.

Created Project Page ( Sept 18th, 2008 )

    I created this page for the project and added it to the list of Projects.

Working with PGO ( Sept 19th, 2008 )

    Working with some old assignments in c and c++ I tried to compile these programs with pgo options but the linker failed on both projects. Also tried from inside of Visual Studio 2008 but received compilation errors.
