Announcing the Patch Day

The PatchDay is a similar to HugDay for bugs, but here our shared goal is triaging patches. Working together allows us to share knowledge.

Join the Patch Day

Who can join the Patch Day? Everyone. You need to have an idea about Ubuntu Development, upstreaming bugs, and patches. You don't need to know how to code, but you need to know how to read code. Everyone is welcome. If you don't know how to help, then just stop on by and we'll explain everything to you. It helps if you're already in Bug Squad and know the basic bug procedures

Where to join the Patch Day? Come to #ubuntu-reviews on freenode IRC.

Patch review takes place in #ubuntu-reviews at other times also.

When

The first Patch Day is scheduled for Wednesday, May 5, 2010 in all time zones, so effectively 49 hours.
