The NetBSD Bugathon: Reloaded and successful
Last weekend was the second
NetBSD Bugathon -- an event that
was focussed at fixing existing NetBSD
PRs, and that had
many NetBSD developers ("committers") and enthusiastic users work
on fixing and closing about 300
open PRs.
The event was again guided by Elad Efrat, who has also posted
a report on the bugathon, see
his mail to the netbsd-users list.
Given the recent rumours about NetBSD dying, having no momentum,
etc. that's quite a step forward, and it also served as
an example for others.
Further events of this kind are planned, though they will likely be
more focussed, going away from picking the low-hanging fruits^WPRs
and aiming e.g. at specific areas like pkgsrc, support of certain hardware
platforms, etc. Check out the
NetBSD Hackathon webpage
for updates!
