[Koha-devel] Hacker's corner, wk14 / Hackfest Europe

[Paul Poulain]

Hello koha-devel,

This week was a very busy week in Marseille: 25 fellow developers came
from Europe to work on koha. The work done was huge !
Just a few numbers:
* 112 bugs have been set to sign-off
* 128 patches have been signed off
* 92 patches have been pushed by chris
* 90 bugs have been marked "fixed"
The changes on bugzilla have resulted in an astonishing number of 1140
mails in a week ! (note that's not only hackfest activity, but it's
something like 4 times a standard weekly activity)

==== Hackfest news ====
This hackfest has seen some new developers joining us:
* Mark Gavillet, from PTFS-Europe, made his first patches and has
signed/marked fix a lot. He also learned many things, and said before
leaving that it has been an invaluable boost for him.
* Fridolyn Somer, from Progilone, helped a lot, and we spoke of the
patches available at git.progilone.com Some of them should make their
way to git.koha-community.org soon, as they are really interesting (some
will remain local, as they look too specific to Lyon 2 university, the
sponsoring customer)
* Juan and Miguel, from Xercode in spain were here for 2 days.
* Frédéric Durand, from Lyon 2, has made a lot of work testing and checking
* Not really developers, but Pascale Nalon (Mines Paris tech school),
Guillaume Hatt (Ecole des Chartes school) and Stéphane Delaye (BibLibre
librarian/project manager) made a lot of work on french translation, as
well as many testings.

All other attendees were already known developers. All of us agree that
it was really cool to work together in small groups of 3 or 4
Just a special thanks to Magnus, that came from Norway, and to Katrin,
that came from Germany. We should send some picture we've taken very soon !

=== Hacker's corner ===
Needs signoff: 112 bugs are awaiting for you sign-off. The number
includes many many patches/fixes that BibLibre did on git.biblibre.com
and that still had to be submitted.

Signed-off: 35 bugs are signed off and should be commited soon by chris

Patch pushed, please test : 102 bugs have been pushed recently and are
awaigint to be marked "fixed" to definetly solve the bug described !

Discussion: i've sent a mail on koha-devel about some bugs that have a
patch that does not apply. Some of them are very old. Unless the author
of the patch (or any other volunteer) rebase and submit a working patch,
i'll mark the bugzilla "fixed, wontfix" in something like 2 weeks. It's
the best solution not to have bugs that stay open and remain here forever.
