Hello,
it's time for the 7th Python Bug Day, just before 2.5 alpha 1 is released.
The aim of the bug day is to close as many bugs, patches and feature requests
as possible, this time with a focus on small feature additions that can still go
into the upcoming 2.5 alpha release.
When?
^^^^^
The bug day will take place on Friday, March 31st, running from approximately
1PM to 8PM GMT (9AM to 4PM Eastern time). You don't need to be around all day;
feel free to stop by for a few hours and contribute.
Where and How?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To join, stop by the IRC channel #python-dev on irc.freenode.net, where
efforts will be discussed and coordinated. We'll collaboratively go through
the Python bug database at SourceForge and fix things as they come up.
IMPORTANT: *No* prior knowledge of the Python source is necessary to
participate! You'll get all assistance the developers can offer for starting
up with helping, this is in fact a good opportunity to learn the basics.
Bug day participation helps the developers and makes Python 2.5 a better
release by reducing the backlog of bugs and patches. Plus, it's fun!
