Congrats to the fine folks at Canonical, Ubuntu, Mozilla, & Add-on-Con for hosting some great events.  I’ve uploaded photos to our Flickr stream (Add-on-con here, and Mozilla Open House here)

My thoughts on Ubuntu & Songbird got dugg, which led me to a couple of pages on Ubuntu’s site, including their Brainstorm page with some interesting thoughts on better GNOME/Songbird integration as well as a great community help page on downloading and installing Songbird on Ubuntu.

Speaking of distributions, this is probably as good a time as any to list some of our great community and contributed builds that have been kicked off since we launched 1.0.. so here they are (in no particular order);

For anyone looking to build Songbird on your own distro or OS, you can grab 1.0 final source tarballs for Songbird and its upstream vendor dependencies at our Contributed Builds page.  There are also links there with instructions on building the dependencies and Songbird… as as always, definitely drop by our IRC channel for any help or questions you may have.
