Geary 0.1 released

After a year of hard work, we’re thrilled to announce the release of Geary 0.1, a lightweight email reader for the GNOME desktop.

Geary 0.1 includes the following features:

  • Basic support for viewing and composing HTML email
  • Send and receive email
  • Reply to all and forward email
  • Optional spell checker
  • Keyboard shortcuts
  • Organizes emails into conversations

Geary supports Gmail and Yahoo! Mail. If you’d like to download Geary, you may download the tarball. Build instructions are available on our wiki. For Ubuntu users, Geary will be available on the Yorba PPA shortly.

Major props to the Geary team for all their hard work getting this release out the door. Give Geary a try. We’re still in the early days of Geary’s development, and there are lots more features to add, but we’d love your input, opinions and help slaying bugs!

Hello World!

There’s nothing like starting a new year with a new job.

This is officially Day One on the job (I’m counting yesterday as Day Zero) as Yorba’s production engineer. I wear quite a few hats here: I sit on the front line of support and testing and also take care of the website, office matters and systems.

I am also the self-appointed director of happy hour.

I’ve known Adam for several years and it’s been very exciting to watch from the sidelines and see how Yorba has gone on build the most widely used photo manager on Ubuntu. It’s a real pleasure to be a part of the team and help contribute to these awesome products and the free desktop.

A little about me:

I’m a general purpose nerd. I’m an avid board game fan, I love pinball, can’t get enough of BSG and can solder a mean joint. San Francisco truly is a paradise for us geeks!

I dig communities. I’ve managed developer relations for software companies for the past several years and am BIG on making sure you guys and gals are having a good time with our products (or at least letting me know where it hurts).

So don’t be a stranger! I look forward to getting to know some of you, our users, in the coming weeks.
