[Evolution] Bugday again

[Gerardo Marin]

Hello everyone,

Luis already posted about GNOME bugdays to Evolution list and Evolution
hackers surely know about it I'll refer you to his latest mail
I'm more fortunate than Louie since my birthday has not coincided with a
bugday (actually my anniversary as Ximianite did last week! Maybe bugs
have a preference to... say bug someone).
But bugdays are, as Luis says, a lot more than anniversary reminders:
they are also a community effort just as good as a beautiful piece of
code or a "just like I wanted" application design. Bugdays are another
form of contributing to the health of our (by our meaning just everyone
who uses it, it's all about community) preferred mail client. It's a
meet together where we can dig in the sometimes obscure side of the code
-from crashes to poor design to simple typos- that are (or in many cases
were, but were also fixed) in the application... and come with a cleaner
knowledge base for devoted developers. Bugdays come like a facilitation
team cleaning the ground so developers can devote their best effort on
building on it. 
I know many of you from submitting  bug reports. That simple fact of
pressing "Send" on bug-buddy is also a gift to everyone of us since
you're taking time and effort to help us find something wrong... you can
also contribute by reviewing a bug (even one you sent! Have you ever
noticed the "My bugs" link on bugzilla footer?) and give a diagnose on
it.
I also know many of you as bug hunt veterans (yeah, I had the intention
to call you by name, then I refrained myself because I could forget
someone and I don't want to) who already know how to do a perfect
triaging with minimum effort. You know who you are, guys.

So it's Thursday again and bugs are waiting for you.  This week focus
will be the hardest: visiting wishlist reports so we can profile and
refine what we want Evolution to be in the future, freaking laser beams
attached to my mail headers included.

So join us to have some fun on irc.gnome.org #evolution, from 9:00 to
19:00 CST (GMT -6:00) and squash some nasty bugs together.

Enjoy!
