RCBC - Release Critical Bug squashing Contest
<http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/RCBC>
squash RC bugs for 2 weeks, from July 25th to August 7th
help the release of Debian Squeeze
earn fame and glory (for sure)
win a GuruPlug and other geeky gadgets (maybe)
read on for more info ...
With all that RC-obsessed people all around and with the Squeeze release
forthcoming, can DebConf10 be devoid of geeky RC-squashing activities?
Of course not! Thanks to the orga team we expect the conference to
contain a *2-week long RC bug squashing pride* with tutorials, BoFs [2],
a permanent bug squashing party, ... and a contest!
I won't indulge much on the contest as the wiki page [1] contains all
rules and gory details. Obviously, all usual rules and best practices of
bug squashing parties will apply; coordination will happen on
#debian-bugs.
*Get involved*, it starts today, and it's *open to everyone* (DebConf10
attendees as well as Debian enthusiasts abroad, regular RC squashers as
well as casual bystanders, etc).
All this wouldn't have been possible without the help of many people
that love Debian, so *many thanks* to:
* the sponsors of RCBC:
* Marvell [3], for offering a GuruPlug [4] (of course, the winner of
this device is expected to help with Debian support for it *g*)
* HP [5], for offering t-shirts
* Pearson [6], for offering books
* Micah Anderson - for kick-starting the organization
* Gregor Herrmann and Mehdi Dogguy - the almighty judges
Cheers.
