Dear Community! Just a gentle reminder that GBSD#4 started about half an hour ago, in Kiribati. If Friday September 2nd is inconvenient for you in your timezone you might want to consider diving in now, to get a head start! ;-) For those watching at home, a lot of the changes on Bugzilla will be tweeted here: http://twitter.com/#!/KohaGBSD Best regards, Magnus Enger ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Magnus Enger <magnus@enger.priv.no> Date: 30 August 2011 08:35 Subject: 2011-09-02 Global bug squashing day #4 To: Koha list <koha@lists.katipo.co.nz>, koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org Dear Community! Just a gentle reminder that GBSD#4 is approaching fast: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/2011-09-02_Global_bug_squashing_day Please bear in mind that the Release Manager has declared the following dates: * Feature freeze – 22 September 23:59 UTC – From this point on, no new features will be considered for inclusion into 3.6.0 * String freeze – 8 October 23:59 UTC – no bugs that change templates accepted after this point. This allows the translators to translate without things changing on them http://koha-community.org/key-dates-3-6-0/ That means we have about 3 weeks for getting any new features in! And there are (at the moment) 83 (!) bugs/patches waiting to be signed off: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&field0-0-0=cf_patch_status&query_format=advanced&type0-0-0=equals&value0-0-0=needs%20signoff&order=bug_id&list_id=10641 See one in there that you would like to make sure makes it into Koha 3.6? YOU can help it along by signing off on it! http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sign_off_on_patches Of course, we should take every opportunity to sign off patches in the coming weeks, but why not make a concerted effort on Friday September 2nd 2011 (in your timezone) and see how far we can get, as a team? Could we cut the queue in half? Happy hunting! Magnus Enger PS And you don't have to be a developer to help either!
