Hello,
it's time for the 7th Python Bug Day. The aim of the bug day is to close as many bugs, patches and feature requests as possible, this time with a special focus on new features that can still go into the upcoming 2.5 alpha release.
When? ^^^^^
The bug day will take place on Friday, March 31st, running from 1PM to 7PM GMT (9AM to 3PM 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!
More information ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Cheers, Georg

has been kept up to date. Note that, e.g., there are still open items in the "Bugs/patches to assess for commit" section, if you want to do more than just read.

19 bugs, 9 patches (which were mostly created to fix one of the bugs). Not much, but better than nothing and there has been quite a participation from "newbies".

BTW, Tim, thanks for coming. I'm often in a situation that I look at a patch and say, "yes, that's working, but I'm not sure whether to apply this" and need a yes or no from someone up the ranks.
Cheers, Georg
