[20:27] <gf2> Hi. I solved a bug!  I found a workaround in another bug report and had the reporter try it. It worked. So, what status do I put for this bug?
[20:30] <tsimonq2> gf2: Confirmeed.
[20:30] <tsimonq2> *Confirmed
[20:30] <tsimonq2> I'm curious though, which bug?
[20:31] <gf2> Hi, here is the bug.
[20:31] <gf2> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1770587
[20:31] <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1770587 in thunderbird (Ubuntu) "creation of new email account impossible in thunderbird" [Undecided,Incomplete]
[20:31] <gf2> Confirmed doesn't close it though. I thought "invalid"?
[20:32] <tsimonq2> hmm
[20:33] <tsimonq2> Looking.
[20:33] <tsimonq2> Right, invalid is correct. Thanks gf2.
[20:33] <tsimonq2> gf2: Have you considered becoming a member of Bug Control, by the way?
[20:35] <gf2> I'd love to be a member of the Bug Control. I am still just new to this. I started bug triage at the end of June and thought I would try to clear up the old bugs. I have addressed about 1000 old bugs so far. :) It's kinda fun. But I am still learning, I must say.
[20:35] <gf2> This is my first "solve" :)
[20:39] <tsimonq2> gf2: Feel free to get an IRC bouncer (if you don't have one) and idle here. :)
[20:39] <tsimonq2> Thanks for your work!
[20:40] <gf2> Sorry, tsimonq2, I don't know that the IRC bouncer is?
[20:41] <tsimonq2> gf2: Ah, no problem. :) I'd just make sure you're always here.
[20:42] <tsimonq2> gf2: An IRC bouncer is a piece of software which sits on a server that's always up, and instead of connecting to the IRC server directly, you connect to the bouncer and it bounces everything to/from the IRC server and your client.
[20:43] <tsimonq2> gf2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_(software)
[20:45] <gf2> Thanks for the info, tsimonq2. I am currently using Pidgin. I am not always on line. I work full time and am only able to address bugs in my spare time. How would the bouncer help?
[20:46] <tsimonq2> gf2: If someone has an important message for you, instead of trying to catch you when you're online, they can just ping you, and you'll get the message when you're online next.
[20:46] <tsimonq2> gf2: The majority of Ubuntu contributors do it; for example, you can ping me at any time. :)
[20:47] <gf2> oh! that is interesting. OK, I will explore that software. Thanks for the tip. :)
[20:47] <gf2> :) how do I become a member of bug control?
[20:48] <tsimonq2> gf2: Here is some documentation on it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugControl
[20:48] <gf2> ok, good! Thanks tsimonq2!
[20:49] <tsimonq2> No problem gf2, let me know if you have any more questions. :_)
[20:49] <tsimonq2> *:)
[20:49] <gf2> Super! I will. :)
[21:05] <gf2> Hi again, tsimonq2. Which BNC software do you use?
[21:08] <tsimonq2> gf2: I personally SSH to a server I have and use irssi under tmux, but I typically recommend https://www.panicbnc.net/ which I've used before.
[21:09] <gf2> Great! Thanks again for your help, tsimonq2! :)
[21:09] <tsimonq2> No problem. :)
