Bug squashing in December (Was: December)
Hi Debian Med fans,
may be the subject of the original mail was not catchy enough and people
did not realised that we are doing a 24 day internet wide bug squashing
party. Believers in different tradition than advent are welcome to join
as well, for sure.
I admit I have not realised a dramatic bump in bug fixing activity. It
would be *really*, *really* nice if everybody who thinks that Debian Med
is helpful for personal work and who wants to contribute tries to squash
at least one bug in this time period, better one per week. We really
need to get our bug count done and there are low hanging fruits on our
list. You can also ask for help here if you have no idea how to squash
a bug.
Thanks for your contribution
Andreas.
