Gloria is a success! We have more visitors to our forum and irc than ever before.
The Monthly Stats – May 2009 confirms the impression – the best ever month
The forum was flooded with spam on May 30 and 31. On June 1 we implemented counter spam measures in the registration process. The result is truly amazing. From what I (Husse) can see as admin this stopped about 50+ spambots from registering every day!

As always – if you find something I’ve missed in the newsletter please tell me – you can post a comment.
Due to the apparent success of Gloria and subsequent growth in the number of posts in the forum I find it difficult to do everything in time.
That is why this newsletter is so late
Enjoy life
Husse
Thanks a lot Husse for another great newsletter. If it weren’t for this I would have no idea about a lot of cool projects happening in the community. Stuff like Ubuntu one and jetpack.
Expexpected is an awesome word, seriously.
first 🙂
I`ve tested moblin on my HP mini 2133.. it`s not for netbooks imo =\
lags, lags, laags!!! ew >_<
Mint is my choice 🙂
First – you spelt mintcast wrong. 😛
Also, a little disappointed that the same cathbard comic as before has been used.
But otherwise good.
Oops
A b that should not be there
Will correct it
Did I use that one before 😕
Hmm have to make a list of the comics or something
Why does the link “How to upgrade Mint 6 Felicia to Mint 7 Gloria” send me back to the home page? And can you really do this instead of a fresh install?
Thanks
I’m a little late to say this, but I just wanted to say that the upgrade from Felicia to Gloria went smoothly, and everything works great! Gloria is terrific, and I am eager to see what the future holds for Mint!
I think you did you that comic before.
Favourable sort of review of Mint in a blog by key ZDnet member, with a read 🙂

There was something odd with the links to other blog posts but it should be fixed now
