More Gmail
I've got a couple of spare invites.
The rules of the game are simpler:
You have to be a mozillazine forums member. I'll pick the ones whose posts I've appreciated.
Leave a comment and make the URL link back to your mozillazine forums profile.
Comments
Mozilla QA volunteer filing bug reports, testing, creating testcases since 2000, especially focused on crasher bug reports.
Mozillazine member since Nov'02, I'd use Gmail search capabilities to store all my bugmail and search within this folder to find a particular bug quicker (could be very useful with full-text search for stacktraces).

I would like an Gmail account, because I want to be among the crowd of cool guys who have one and I could really use the search capabilities of Gmail for my bugmail.
Here's my "Mozilla CV":
Mozillazine forum member since November 5th 2002, before that I was also posting in the old forums. Firefox Default QA Contact for the Installer, Menus, and Toolbars components, Fellow blogger (see URL), Mozilla Calendar/Sunbird website maintainer, author of http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bugzilla-privilege-guide.html, creator of the de.comm.software.mozilla.* newsgroup hierarchy. Besides that I posted a few patches (some of them even got accepted) and got Bugday going again together with Asa at the end of 2003/beginning of 2004.

Oops, put in the wrong URL. Now the URL should link to my forum profile.

I've been a mozillazine member since nov 2002; I don't post often, but I do try to be helpful. My focus is on *BSD related-problems, plus a handful of other discussions that catch my interest. I've been (sporadically) posting to some of the Moz newsgroups since late 1999.
I've also done some bug triage, again with a focus on *BSD since these bugs get little attention otherwise.
Regarding gmail, I'd use it for all emails and lists related to open source projects (eg - bugzilla, freebsd/postgresql/mysql/postfix lists).
(BTW: I'll nominate Simon Paquet for an account...)

Invited all three of you.
Contest still open.

Thanks - I've registered for an account.
BTW: The invitation I received on my Yahoo! account was placed in the Bulk Mail folder...is this a conspiracy theory in the making? ;-)

I'll be honest, I'm not a Mozilla/Mozillazine expert or nearly as active as the other people who have posted. I've been using TB since 0.3 and FB/FF since 0.7. I was able to get alot of the guys I work with on Firefox though. I've tried hacking, but I'm not that great at it - I guess I just need documentation and a group of people to work with. I've used Talkback as much as possible over the past few weeks, however.
I have been doing lots of studies lately on email and how to sort it, which is why I'm curious about Gmail's labeling scheme, as opposed to the folder-hierarchy scheme. I'd use Gmail to better understand the searching capabilities that TB should consider implementing.
I probably dont deserve one for my mozilla contributions - but Mozillazine was the first webpage I checked every morning last week :)

Thank you for having these drawings. If it weren't for that some of us would have to wait a looong time to get an account.
