Hi, The Berlin Bug Squashing Party is almost two weeks over now, so a final report is overdue! So here we are: The BSP was a great success! On Friday, the weather basically forced us to have a barbecue in the evening sun at the nice terrace of Buero 2.0. One first time Debian BSP attendee, when asked to sum up his impressions of the evening in one word, replied "tasty". This was made possible also due to delicious food contributions (Tiramisu!) from the community. (-: But we also got a lot of work done; during the course of the weekend, approximately 25 people attended the bug squashing party, many coming multiple days. We were especially happy to see so many people coming to a Debian BSP for the first time; nice to see new faces! (-: Overall we had a lot more attendees than we expected, and consequently the list of squashed bugs kept growing, to reach this final numbers: * New release critical bugs found: 1 * Release critical bugs fixed: 7 * Existing fixes for release critical bugs tested & sponsored: 6 * Release critical bugs downgraded or closed as invalid: 11 * Release critical bugs closed by removing the package: 5 * A handful of patches for non-release critical bugs * Screenshots uploaded to screenshots.debian.net: 1 * A hard-to-measure number of german translations * Lots of fun Also, we had two workshops about debian package building and bug squashing particularily on Friday and Saturday. I hope we all learned a lot; I for one did. If you missed the fun, fear not: In November there will be a BSP in Essen which could be interesting for you [BSPEssen] and we'll certainly have another BSP in Berlin some day. The next BSP will happen sooner if you organize one. (-; Cheers, Mika [BSPEssen] http://rhonda.deb.at/blog/2012/09/21#bsp-essen-nov-2012 -- Own your own computer.
