<p>I stole this idea from liquidx who probably stole it from one of the many |
| 70 |
projects that do something similar.</p> |

<div class="section" id="abstract"> |

| 74 |
<p>Gentoo Linux should have one day a month that is devoted to clearing out bugs, |
| 75 |
and accepting new ebuilds from bugzilla. This one day a month should not |
| 76 |
replace a developers normal bug tracking duties. This "bug day" should become |
| 77 |
something that involves the user community to make them feel closer to the |
| 78 |
developers.</p> |

| 80 |
<div class="section" id="motivation"> |
| 81 |
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7" name="motivation">Motivation</a></h1> |
| 82 |
<p>I believe this would help keep the number of bugs in bugzilla at a lower level. |
| 83 |
This would also be a good chance for some user submitted ebuilds to be commited |
| 84 |
that would normally go overlooked. I think this is a good idea. We could turn |
| 85 |
this into a big deal for the user community</p> |
| 86 |
</div> |

<div class="section" id="specification"> |

| 89 |
<p>This doesn't require any coding. It just requires one day each month that |
| 90 |
little other than bug closing will happen. I would like to see all developers |
| 91 |
participate, but I know it's unlikely that we could get everybody free on the |
| 92 |
same day. The majority of the people that have had an opinion have |
| 93 |
suggested a weekend day. We will have bugday's on a Saturday. Gentoo |
| 94 |
developers can try to get some of the users to help them out. A prize to |
| 95 |
the most succesful developer was suggested. This is an idea to keep in |
| 96 |
mind for the future. I guess I'm going to be the one coordinating this |
| 97 |
until I get help, but when I do get help in coordinating this we can |
| 98 |
coordinate via irc if all parties are capable, or email if not. I will |
| 99 |
send out a notice telling the details at least one week in advance to the |
| 100 |
-dev, -core, and -user mailing lists.</p> |
