Bugfest for 1.3.10 on Saturday, 2 February

Gang:

I've been very happy to see a lot of activity on the lists and in  
bugzilla recently. OpenNMS is all about the community, and nothing  
pleases me more than to see lots of new people with a sense of  
ownership toward the project.

With that in mind, we've decided to have a "bugfest" to clean up as  
many bugs as possible for the 1.3.10 release. Those of you watching  
the subversion commit notices have seen quite a number of them fixed  
over the last couple of weeks, and we figured that if we all got  
together for a day we could knock the rest of them out.

Here's how this works:

1) We will be coordinating this via the #opennms IRC channel on  
freenode. For those of you who don't usually use IRC or never have, it  
is just a way to create a chat room where a group of people can talk.  
The IRC wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC) is a good  
place to start, and there is even a decent comparison of IRC clients (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients 
).

When you get your software installed, you will have to connect to a  
server. In our case it will be "irc.freenode.net". Then you will want  
to join the "#opennms" channel (the # sign is important, so don't  
leave it off). Most clients with a command line use the "/" symbol to  
indicate an action, so "/join #opennms" will most likely get you to  
the right place.

You may also be asked to choose a nickname (or "nick"). Mine is  
Sortova. The channel is always active, so feel free to test it out  
before the 2nd.

2) Everyone is welcome, even if you don't write code. We will be  
generating a number of snapshots that day, and help with testing (both  
the installation and functionality) is just as important as code  
changes. This would also be a good time to brush up on your wiki  
syntax skills as I'm sure we could always use some help with the  
documentation.

3) The focus will be on the 1.3.10 tracking bug:

http://bugzilla.opennms.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2108

although any bug is fair game. The goal is to release 1.3.10 the week  
of the 4th.

I look forward to seeing some old friends and some new faces. I'll  
probably start around 8am to 9am Eastern US time, but there will be  
people on the channel all day. No one has to stay the whole time, of  
course, so if you can only spend an hour or two that's cool.
