Thunderbird Support Day April 25, 2012

• When: All day April 25, 2012
• Where: TB12 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 8a.m. Pacific - 4p.m Pacific with a break or two for lunch and coffee

Thunderbird 12 is going to be released April 24, 2012. Based on experience with prior releases, the first day after the release ia when the support community finds the issues with that release. Hence having the support day on April 25 one day after the release on the 24th. There will also be another support day after the release of Thunderbird 13.

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.

Focus of April 25, 2012 support day is:

1. Finding exact Steps to reproduce "Disappearing Lightning Calendar Problems" so we can file bug(s) and hopefully make some progress on eliminating this problem
2. Thunderbird 3.1 to Thunderbird 12 upgrade issues.
