Here's how I'd write it in natural language:
Soon _why's new(ish) UI toolkit Shoes is having a bug day where we'll
all be getting together on irc for a whole day to squish bugs and play
with shoes and find problems. It's starting at mid day GMT time on the
11th, and then again on the 25th, and going till mid day the next day.
Come meet _why and all his lunatic friends on freenode in the #shoes
channel.
Free oats will be made available to all who attend. We all really want
to get shoes ready for a good solid release on the 31st of July. What
we need most of all is people and objects resembling people to come
along with idea's and make them in shoes, and give feedback, find
crashes, and all that jazz. If you know C, you might be able to help
debug any issues that come up, but if not, _why's got you covered.
Download the latest build of shoes before you come. We don't have
PowerPC support working yet but we will on the day! Oh and you'll want
to go grab the free book Nobody Knows Shoes.
Come complain and make the world a better place!

It's more compact and more fun I feel, I don't know about these so
called 'developers', but that PR speak doesn't get me all excited at
all. That stuff's like hold music to me. So, choices choices!
I'm going to go post that to my journal ^_^
