All,
Andrea and I are organizing a bug squashing day this Saturday 10/3, starting at 1pm EDT and going until we run out of steam (or bugs). Join us if you can! We'll be around in the main IRC forum.
If you can't make this one, there'll always be another. We're hoping to get onto a monthly schedule.
Squashing bugs is one of the highest-impact and lowest-commitment ways you can help improve Arch. Software that works builds momentum. Everyone can contribute-- finding the issue, talking through the possible solutions, and creating the patch are all critical parts of the process.
I hope to see you all on Saturday!
Are you going to announce on the forums and main page too? Remember this page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bug_Day_TODO . It is fairly empty at the moment, but it is handy if someone (non-dev) scans through the bug tracker finding bugs with solutions and lists them, it allows the participating devs to focus their efforts. I probably will not make it this weekend as I have a fairly packed work schedule. Have fun! Allan
