When we started this productivity series, one of the first things we listened to was an #Ideacast episode with Laura Mae Martin, asking us to treat our email like laundry. Thinking of it like a chore does work! We've distilled some of our favorite parts of Martin's chapter on email in her latest book, #Uptime, combined them with some #Thunderbird tips and tricks, and wrapped them up in our latest #Productivity post. Learn how to rescue your time and attention, even if they're lost like socks in the dryer: https://lnkd.in/gUhM_fbD

Every open source story is a collection of stories, especially Thunderbird. Without our contributor community, our epic tale would have been done long ago. This inspired us to spotlight and share their stories. Arthur, one of our Bugzilla volunteers, has shares some of the highlights from his experience, and whether you're leading an open source project or thinking of contributing to one for the first time, we hope his story educates and inspires. https://lnkd.in/gby884TP
