This week I made my first foray into the world of open source software development by submitting a patch for Redmine, the project management software that we use at work. Specifically, I worked on Feature #1406 which allows people to use redmine's repository browser to view branches in their git repositories. You can see it in action here.

I've also installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my computer at work and have not logged into Windows all week, even at home. There have been a few issues: Not being able to use Outlook for email, ColdFusion becoming case-sensitive, graphics card driver issues on my laptop, and no SQL server client. I'm making due though and I'm sure I'll work through all of the problems eventually.
