Re: [HACKERS] Commitfest Code Sprint with PUGs

2009-09-03 Thread Webb Sprague
The CommitFest is scheduled to start 9/15, so doing this on 9/8 might be a bit too soon.  I wouldn't object to doing it a few days before the start of the CommitFest to flush out any patches with obvious problems, but I think a week ahead of time is too much. Yeah, I meant Tues 9/15. Also,

[HACKERS] Website request -- developer docs along with release docs

2008-10-27 Thread Webb Sprague
