[Koha] 2011-09-02 Global bug squashing day #4 - It's on! Join the fun!

[Magnus Enger]

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:

Best regards,
Magnus Enger

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!
