= Labs === Lab 1: Course introduction & Lab2: Collaborative and Community Development Practices & Lab3: Managing and Building large source trees 0.4 Attachment Reminder ==Honestly, I have done these 3 Labs but I don't have any proof for itforgot to write about this one. It is obvious that I have done Lab1 because everybody can If you need to read my blogs onlinemore about this click [http://cdpatel1. In addition with Lab1, I have done lab2 and Lab3blogspot. Without doing these labs, I would not be able to even survive in the coursecom/2009/01/attachment-reminder-04. I think, My survival in the course proves that I have done Lab1, Lab2 and Lab3html[here]].
== Lab 40.5 Attachment Reminder==In this release I have addressed all the issues raised in the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244455#c33[comment]].I would encourage more and more people to download my [http://www.geocities.com/chinmay_patel@ymail.com/attachmentreminderPatcho5Beta.txt[patch]] and provide me some feedback. Moreover, I have created a [http: Building Thunderbird //zenit.senecac.on Vista with Visual Studio 2008 ==.ca/wiki/index.php/User:Cdpatel1#Suggestion_BOX[suggestion box]] in my profile page, feel free to edit it.
== 0.6 (Attachment Reminder + LIBNOTIFY) ==This is a combined release of two BUGs: Attachment Reminder and LIBNOTIFY Notifications. I have blogged about it on my blog pagethink, this could be the last patch for Attachment reminder. If you want help or referenceBut, you can go I am open to the link below and look at itwork more if needed.
My another task is to make Thunderbird notify new emails through LIBNOTIFY. I have started working on it and set up the required environment for the BUG. Here is the [http://cdpatel1www.blogspotgeocities.com/2008chinmay_patel@ymail.com/09/building-firefox-and-thunderbird-onpatch_06_INDIA.txt[PATCH]].html
== 0.7 Attachment Reminder + LIBNOTIFY + Tango Icons ==
This release was a mix of three bugs. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244455[Attachment reminder bug]], [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478463[Libnotify bug]] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483777[Tango Icons Bug]].
== Lab 5 It looks like, the Thunderbird community doesn't need the integration of LIBNOTIFY at the moment. I have submitted couple of patches to the [https: Finding 3 Interesting Bugs //bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id==These are the 3 bugs that are not perfectly related to my project 478463[bug]], but still somewhat related to ithas no more requirement. Here they are ..Eventually, I have to drop the bug.
Moreover, I am going through my worst period in the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232500244455[Attachment Reminder]] bug because I am not having any work done. I am submitting the patches but it doesn't apply properly. They say that it the patch is bitrotten. What else can be happen if I they are checking the patch after the 2 weeks of upload date? But, I can certainly understand their busy schedule and try my best to get work done.
My prospect bug is [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448971483777[Tango Icons bug]]. Currently, I don't have any idea what is going on with that bug. I only know that I am going to do that bug.
== 0.8 Attachment Reminder + Tango Icons ==0.8 is the combined release for [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349547244455[Attachment Reminder Bug]] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483777[Tango Icons Bug]].
== Lab 6 : Landfill Mozilla bug ==For the [https://landfillbugzilla.bugzillamozilla.org/bugzilla-3.0-branch/show_bug.cgi?id=6827244455[Attachment reminder bug]], I am getting somewhat impatience. I am trying my best and still not be able to get it done. Improper apply of the patch and building errors for the patch are killing me. I am not getting the reason why my patches are creating so much issues in other machines? I guess, I have to create the patch and ask David Humphrey, if he can apply my patch and build Thunderbird. Hopefully, next will be my last patch.
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id== Lab 8 : Modifying 483777[Tango Icons bug]] is the most interesting bug for me. It contains some user interface stuffs that I like the most. In this bug, I have to apply the patch created by Andreas Nilsson, one of the community member, and make the patch compatible to the hg mercurial. In this bug, I have learned about combination of CSS, XUL and images in Thunderbird With extension Lab ==code.
[[Image:addtabbesideCurrently, I feel that I am getting all sorts of experience in the Thunderbird code. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I am feeling more satisfied and versatile. After working on all these bugs, I am more confident that I will be able to handle everything that comes to me in terms of coding.xpi]]
== Lab 0.9 : FIRSTXPCOM Attachment Reminder + Tango Icons ==This release is a landmark to me. I got the Attachment Reminder fixed. Megnus came up with the patch including my errors fixed and adding some extra features. However, I still need to apply that patch, edit if required and ask for UI review. It will surely done by the end of the semester.
[[Image:firstxpcom_ChinmayAlthough I am almost done by Attachment Reminder, I have lot of work to do in Tango icons Bug. I have to merge all those separate icons images into one big image. Then I have to refer to that image from the Thunderbird CSS. Evenhough It sounds so easy, it requires a lot of manual coding. Apart from all the work that I have to finish, I will try my best to get this bug done in next two weeks.zip]]
== Lab10 : Managing and Building large source trees Final Release ==I am planning so glad to do this lab on weekend announce that my Attachment reminder bug is complete. I just after got the exam weekreview+ from Megnus Malin. I will email you when Now, I am done with just waiting for the labsUI review? I guess, there should not be any problem.Let us see how does it go?
== Lab11 : Chrome ==Plus, I am planning to do this lab have submitted a patch on weekend just after the exam weekTango Icons Integration Bug and asked for review. In this bug, I will email you when I am done with have merged the icons into big images for the performance purpose. Now, just waiting for the labsreview.

2== Collaborative and Community Development Practices ==This lab has provided a brief outline for Open source community. Helped him to build his ThunderbirdIt gave us a main idea, "if the code is already written, don't waste your time in re-writing it. Just Copy and Paste it !!!"

Scott== Navigating the Mozilla source tree ==For navigation in Mozilla tree, I got a great tool called DOM inspector. It helped me lot in exploring Thunderbird tree.

To know how to us DOM inspector, do look into my [http: //cdpatel1.blogspot.com/2008/09/detective-of-mozilla-dom-inspector.html[blog]]. Please leave some comment on it! ;)
