*This is a guest post from Jorge Castro*.

As I mentioned last
week we’ve started a campaign for helping people get started on
fixing bitesize bugs in Unity. Jono blogged
about this as well. As it turns up, we’ve got our first bitesize
contributor today!

Jamal Fanaian has fixed Bug #683241:
Recycle bin icon is empty when there are items in the bin. Jamal
is a developer working on Flickr. He passes along “I love Ubuntu and
open source software, so my only real hobby has become working on open
soruce. Other than that, I like playing with hardware, although
recently I have found less time to do so.”

Basically the trash icon showed up empty even if you had stuff in
it. Jamal first grabbed the code, then fixed the bug, and then
pushed it to launchpad.

From there he submitted
it for review in Launchpad. In this specific example Alex Launi
has started the review process. Now we’re cooking. So, how can you get
started? First let’s have a look at the
list and look at the progress people have made this week.

• Bug 677577 – Clicking on a
  launcher icon does not raise most recent window

– Fixed!

• Bug 646740 – indicators are
  mis-aligned
• Bug 683241 – Recycle bin icon
  is empty when there are items in the bin

– Fixed!

• Bug 683466 – There are 2 Quit
  menu options in Quicklist
• Bug 599716 – having “unity
  –replace” would be nice
• Bug 681428 – scrolling does not
  work on the sound menu – Music lovers everywhere would appreciate
  a fix here.

New bitesize bugs this week (they might be older bugs but new to
bitesize):

• Bug
  686591 – unity-panel-service should be autorestarted by unity when
  crashing – A fix for this one would be most welcome, as it’s
  annoying!
• Bug

– Armor Nick seems to be doing the initial investigation here.

• Bug
  686182 – Unity launchers run multiple copies of program if clicked
  multiple times before the program loads
