All that is needed for an IRC bug day to happen is for someone to coordinate and advertise it. It sounds like you and Brian between you have that covered. Of course, it does help to have committers on hand. I think I for one will probably be available during the day (EST) on the 27th. --David

Hi, Cool to see the positive response! I’m waiting for confirmation of our venue in Montreal and will follow-up on this list and update the wiki page. Petri, your lists of bugs will definitely be helpful. Thanks all!

Hi all,

Great idea, I'll talk to Łukasz Langa about possibilities to gather a group of Poles interested in this topic.

Eric, How do you and Montreal-Pythoon user group see possibility to move this event a little bit in time, to have enough time to organize everything what's needed. In most cases peoples here in Poland. How about doing this event whole month later, meaning end of November? If we all get enough time to prepare and advertise it properly, we might attract bigger group of people, which in long term means more hands to work on bugs :) Regards, Maciej

You could also wait three months and get even more people, or wait 6 months and maybe get even *more* people. You could also lose everyone else's interest during that time.

I think if people want to join up on the chosen date, it'd be excellent. If they want to meet up on another date, this is also excellent. It doesn't need to be a one time thing :)

Yes. I think there are people already trying to to (or perhaps even succeeding) in arranging spaces for that date, so changing it would be a disruption to those plans. On the other hand we could also let those people speak up... Having another one at the end of November would be great. --David

Yes, it’s always a bit painful to go through another round of email, calls or meetings to reschedule. Also it’s fun to kick off the idea and see it take place, great for motivation!

Ned: I’m confident we’ll have a place for the planned date, you can make arrangements and we’ll confirm as soon as possible (this week). Maciej: If you don’t think you can let people know in time, by all means lead another bug day some time after, and I’m sure there will be participants on IRC. Cheers

Hello,

We confirm October 27! User groups and devs on IRC, join us if you can. I’ll send an announcement to the mentoring list to let subscribers know about the event.

Cheers

I'll be joining this particular event for sure, through IRC, I was planing to get more Poles interested in topic ;) Thanks for clearing things, I'll see what can be done with another Bug Day :) Regards, Maciej

Apologies if this is a stupid question (or just completely misdirected), but does this mean that if I'm interested in participating in the bug day, the first step should be to join core-mentorship@?

It’s not required, but you are welcome to do it. I’ll send an announcement with details about participating soon™. Regards

It's two and a half weeks left, but I've not seen any announcements yet! Also, my issue list at http://piratepad.net/pyconfi-sprint-issues still lacks entries, so everyone interested in making the bug day a huge success is welcome to add issues to the list. It doesn't need registration or anything, just open it in your browser and edit. Petri

Brian, is it okay for Boston? Maciej, what about your group? Comitters, who could join on IRC?

Sorry for the false start.

This is very disappointing. You had previously said that it was a go. People (who may or may not have spoken up here) may have already arranged space and be planning on it, despite the lack of announcement. I certainly was planning on it. I'm not available on the 3rd. I'll continue with my plans to be active in the IRC channel and focused on Python bug fixing this Saturday from some time in the AM until about 18:00, GMT -4. If no one else shows up I'll just have a personal bug day, but I'm guessing at least a few people might show up despite the lack of a wider formal announcement. --David

Nothing was formally planned to happen in Chicago due to the usual lack of interest, and I doubt that'll change for November 3rd. I would suggest just going on with whatever sprint date(s) your group is able to make it for. This is already very loosely organized as it is, so trying to coordinate multiple groups in multiple cities is not worth it. Anyway, I'll probably be around this Saturday and November 3rd to put in some work.

Eric, We have a meeting tomorrow, I'll talk to guys, but because we're starting Silesian Python Group, there won't be much interest yet. I'll try to work on that ;) maybe some time in future I could organize this kind of event and invite all of you to join us. Nonetheless I'll try to join both events, on this and next Saturday on IRC.

I will see if I can get some folks from Py Ohio to join in on November 3rd for sure I will be available to help.
