New badges for active contributors at Beta Labs
Today we'll be making some changes to the badges that you can earn as a contributor at Beta Labs. We're going to simplify the badges we give out and switch off the Top Reviewer, Bug Buster, and Innovator badges since they were proving difficult to maintain in a reliable and fair way. In short, we're adding two new badges and holding on to two old badges.

Beta Labs contributor of the month, October 2009: navio1973
Since we didn't have any major releases in October, the contributor of the month was a difficult choice. In cases like these, we sometimes honor newcomers that contribute a handful of very insightful comments. But for this month we want to recognize a contributor with a steady and strong track record, a constructive approach in his feedback, and an interactive presence. These are all things we appreciate in a beta labs contributor.
For your efforts, navio1973, we'll give you a choice:

"cricfancy has been very active in finding more details about errors in Nokia Ovi Suite and has helped us a lot in improving the product."
Beta Labs contributor of the month, July 2009: Speedgrapher
Written by: Ilkka Peltola, Nokia Beta Labs team
July was a quiet month: only a couple updates and one graduation. At first, this made it again difficult to choose a contributor of the month, since we didn't have any beta launches and thus could not ask the teams to nominate best contributors. But, we didn't want to just skip this contributor of the month either. So, the reasons are this time not just based on July's observations.
