Proposal for Global Bug Squashing Day: 2011-11-04
Dear Community! After colluding with my fellow bug wrangler Katrin I'd like to propose a date for the next GBSD: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/2011-11-04_Global_bug_squashing_day This coincides with the first day of the hackfest at KohaCon11. Maybe we could get a bit of a Google Hangout going, or something? We'll see... Anyway: Be there or be [_]! Best regards, Magnus

I'll probably only be available early and late that day - I think the early overlaps with the hackfest, but maybe everyone will be gone by late?

Please please please could we use something more open than Google? Has the IRC been working well so far? Are you after other features which the current tools don't have?

Sorry for being unclear about this. Google Hangout is a video-conference-thingamajig, so what I had in mind was establishing an audio-visual link to the lucky people in Thane, just for the fun of it. I don't believe IRC works very well with audio and visuals, yet... ;-) And yes, Google Hangout is a Google service, yes it does require download and installation of a closed plugin-thingy. But on the plus-side, I know several potential GBSD'ers use and it works quite well (even with video from several participants, as opposed to Skype). It was always meant as a fun add-on to the main event and participating is in no way required to be part of the fun that is GBSD. More details here: http://www.google.com/support/plus/bin/topic.py?hl=en-GB&topic=1257349&parent=1698315 I'm very interested in learning about FLOSS alternatives for videoconferencing, though!
