Bug fix day: Sat. June 21, 2008?

[Kevin Menard]

Hi all,

One idea I've been meaning to float here is a bug fix day.  I know of  
other projects that have had them with at least some degree of success.   
Typically these are a bit larger projects, but they do manage to rope in  
support from non-committers.

The basic idea is that we're all busy folks and work on Cayenne in our  
spare time.  If we could group together for one day and make a concerted  
effort to kill some bugs, the project as a whole benefits.  The mean time  
to bug fix is typically lowered because we can bounce ideas off each other  
in IRC in real time and so forth and so on.  Ideally we'd even get users  
to contribute some patches.

I realize that with varying timezones and schedules this can be difficult,  
but it's also a more laid back system.  Come and go as you need.

If no one has any serious problems, I'd like to try the first one this  
coming Sat. and I'll announce it on the user list.  It is short notice,  
but my guess is that it really doesn't matter what weekend we use as  
someone is likely to have a scheduling conflict.

Thoughts?
