Hi,

I know, PyCon's just been, but not many bugs were closed and there really ought to be some issues resolved before 2.4.3 happens. The number of open bugs is again crawling to 900.

I myself are looking at many bugs and patches over time, but with most of them I can't decide alone what to do. Writing here every time doesn't seem like the most sensible thing too.

So, is there interest?

Pending time, I would be interested, especially to see if we can at least narrow down the persistent reference leaks.

Can I do anything to make it easier?

Do my homework and TA work for me to an acceptable level of quality. =) Other than that, just holding at a time that works for me (they tend to fall in the morning for PSF on the weekend which means I am still asleep, although I am working on actually getting up at reasonable hours these days. =) -Brett

Would anyone be interested in a bug day on a weekday? I don't have time on weekends, but could probably find some time on a Wed or Fri for bug fixing. I'll probably do it regardless, but I'd have more fun if a few others were online.

I could find time on Fridays. Wednesday as well, but not quite as much. -Brett

I think it would be a good idea to follow the Plone project and try to encourage new developers by offering assistance to get them up and running. AFAIK, we've done that for the other bug days but it might help to publish the fact that no prior Python development experience is necessary. Neil

That's right, though I guess it'll be hard to find new core developers. Unfortunately, for most people developing _with_ Python is much more fun than developing Python.

Settling on Friday, how about the 31st of March?

Sounds good to me. Jeremy

If that's okay for the VIPs, I will send out announcements on python-list, the non-english newsgroups and lists and ask Tim to place it on the website.
