All,
Andrea and I are organizing a bug squashing day this Saturday 10/3, starting at 1pm EDT and going until we run out of steam (or bugs). Join us if you can! We'll be around in the #archlinux-bugs IRC forum.
If you can't make this one, there'll always be another. We're hoping to get onto a monthly schedule.
Squashing bugs is one of the highest-impact and lowest-commitment ways you can help improve Arch. Software that works builds momentum. Everyone can contribute-- finding the issue, talking through the possible solutions, and creating the patch are all critical parts of the process.
We hope to see you all on Saturday!
Paul and Andrea
