This summary is also posted to the Maemo developers' list and the maemo.org Bug Jar blog.

My apologies in advance, but I anticipate posting the next edition of the Bug Jar late. I'll be in Dublin for the MeeGo Conference, which complicates my normal publishing procedure in two ways:

1. I'll be at UTC rather than my normal UTC-5 or UTC-4, so beginning report generation at midnight UTC and staying up for several hours is less attractive than usual. I'd hate for my snoring to be a distraction during Monday's conference sessions.

2. I usually generate and post the Bug Jars from my notebook computer, but I won't be bringing it to Dublin. The notebook is a bit large to be lugging around, and worse, it has also taken a dislike to running off batteries. I'm not keen on explaining that to a TSA agent who wants to see it boot up. My N900 should generate the reports fine, but that point when I have fifteen Firefox tabs open while posting the Platform report to the MeeGo Forums isn't something I want to try to replicate on my phone.

I'll try to have the blog and email versions of the reports out on Monday, possibly even at their normal times. The forum versions will be delayed.
