[Mageia-dev] Bug squash party update

Sun Mar 25 14:29:16 CEST 2012

Dear all,
+
+A brief update on our bug squashing efforts so far since the original blog 
+post went out. I realise in there we wrote that there would be daily 
+updates, but as there has been little news to report, I hope you can 
+forgive me for this. Now, with about 2/3rd of the weekend behind us, this 
+seems like a good time for an update.
+
+The experiences so far have been mixed. We now have 7 more release 
+blockers than at the start of the weekend, with none closed since friday 
+afternoon. The uptake has been less than we had hoped for, but the upside 
+is that people are performing tests, and also that open bugs are being 
+reassesed as to their severity.
+
+People have mostly been quietly working on 'their' bug reports, as they've 
+been doing all along. To all of them I want to express gratitude for their 
+ongoing work on making Mageia better. Also, over the course of the weekend 
+we have seen some new faces helping out in testing and adding their 
+comments to open bug reports. This is most welcome indeed!
+
+That no release blockers have been fixed yet is a bit of a shame, but that 
+does not mean that no work has been done on them. On several of the bugs 
+we have open we've seen promising progress in the past few days.
+
+If you are still willing to help out, I'd like to invite you to have a 
+look at our release blocking bugs [1], today, tomorrow, or even after this 
+party is over. For those of you testing the latest ISO's (beta 2), please 
+have a look at the known errata [2].
+
+Thank you all for your time and attention :-)
+
+Sincerely,
+
+Remmy
