Thunderbird can now auto config your account
A couple of days ago the first big part of the auto detection of mail accounts landed in Thunderbird. I've blogged about the feature before.
This means that you no longer have to enter all of the technical information to add an account. Just enter your name, email and password and Thunderbird will try to auto detect the rest.
Really really cool. Unfortunately it doesn't support Google Apps :(
Click on the image to see the full screenshot:
All of my domains, both personal and at work, are using Google Apps. But the new auto detection cant detect my setup. Damn. It sounded so cool.
My domain at work is dinnerbooking.com which is hosted by Google Apps. The IMAP is at imap.gmail.com, but Thunderbird doesn't find that since it doesn't do any DNS lookup.
Hopefully this get fixed later...

Open Source software in the public sector
Last Thursday the "Videnscenter for Software" held a conference on "Open Source software in the public sector." And Mozilla was represented at the conference.
I've heard about the conference and learned that you could ask for a free pass for the conference. Instead of only getting the free pass, I also got the opportunity for Mozilla to have a booth at the conference.
So Mozilla shared a booth with Ubuntu and OpenOffice.org. I organized to get some merchandise from Mozilla Europe (big thanx!), so we got both posters, badges etc.
I also had my laptop running some Mozilla Firefox promotion videos, which is so much better than just normal slides. The videos I used are the ones from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/video/. Hopefully there's gonna be more of these videos.
We, Hansen from Mozilla Denmark, and I, attracted a lot of attention. Most people already knew Mozilla Firefox and a lot of them actually ran it at home.
At the conference we also meet up with Christian Sejersen from Mobile Firefox. He brought along a Nokia N810 device with the latest Fennec beta on it. Walking around showing the mobile version of Mozilla Firefox also attracted a lot of interest.
By the way. Now I'm also an official part of Mozilla Denmark. A couple of years ago, I thought I was Mozilla Denmark :)
The Mozilla Firefox marked share in Denmark is very low. Denmark is Microsoft territory. So perhaps events like this can be a way to change that.

7 untold secrets about me
The seven, perhaps unknown, things about Henrik Gemal.
I was tagged by Fabien Cazenave who started to learn XUL by tweaking my Launchy extension. Cool!
So here are the rules to this:
1. Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
2. Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they�ve been tagged.
Here we go:
1: I've been charged with importing pornography into India
When I worked in India I was contacted by a Danish company that sold CD-ROMs (back in the days) and they asked me if I wanted to help them get into the Indian marked. No problem. Send me some CD's and I see what I can do. Unfortunately there were some porn CDs among the CDs they sent. Don't know if I can return to India...
2: I was the top Bugzilla bug reporter
When Bugzilla was at 100.000 bugs Asa Dotzler pulled some data out of Bugzilla. We were 10 people that filled over 700 bugs each and I was at the top with 1764 bugs and Seth Spitzer was second. Read the article.
3: I played a lot of AD D when I was younger
I loved playing Advanced Dungeon Dragons. Still dream about creating another adventure and play again.
4: I played soccer for almost 20 years
We were once at the Danish national championship and became number 7. We also had a cool sponsor so I meet a lot of the top soccer people from the 90' like Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard and most of the Danish stars like Preben Elkj�r, Frank Arnesen and Morten Olsen.
5: I lived in India for more than a year working for a Indian advertising company
What an experience! Quite amazing. I saw things that you can only dream about. Everything for dead poor people and filty rich people like I never seen before. Read my Indian story.
6: I have visited 35 countries or 15% of all countries
I love traveling. My wife and I did a lot of backpack traveling before we got our first child. Backpacked around in Thailand, Laos, Peru and Bolivia. See my map.
7: I have a road named after me
In the town of Kirkeby on Fyen in Denmark there is a road called Gemalvej. My ancestors come from around there. We traced the name Gemal back to around 1600. In Danish Gemal means spouse/partner/wife/husband.
I tag:
- Asa Dotzler
- Christian Sejersen
- Allan Beaufour
- William Quiviger

Early adopter of Mozilla Firefox
My son Mads is a early adopter of Mozilla Firefox.
The other day he got a Firefox tattoo on his left arm and was very proud of it. Showing it to everybody. And yes, it's washable.
So now whenever he sees a Mozilla Firefox logo he points to it. So when he sits next to my computer he has to point out all the time that he can see a Firefox logo.
Perhaps I can teach him to cry when he sees a Internet Explorer logo?

Mozilla Foundation non-profit no more?
According to Techcrunch Mozilla Foundation is being audited by the IRS and its non-profit status is in question:
On the audit of the Foundation there has not been any formal notification of issues. There has been inquiry regarding its tax exemption. Management believes that it is conducting its operations in accordance with its original application for exemption and for which it received the advance ruling as a public benefit corporation.
Read the full story
Update:
Mike Beltzner wrote to me saying that the article is full of inaccuracies.
The Mozilla Corporation is not registered as a non-profit entity, pays taxes, receives revenues, etc. The Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organization, and its status is not under question. Google does not provide funds to Mozilla as "charity"; it's a negotiated revenue deal, and they make more money off of the traffic generated than they pay to Mozilla. It's easy to forget that, but this is not a charity issue; it's an "affinity" revenue sharing deal.
