FreeBSD Test-Bugathon.... check

[Florent Thoumie]

Following the example of our friends from NetBSD. We organized this
week-end what they called a Bugathon. Basically, people gather on an IRC
channel and discuss about some Problem Reports they either sent or are
interested in. This is a great opportunity to get things done faster and
get in touch with committers.

The Bugathon was only announced on -ports because we weren't sure to get
enough src committers, mainly because of the very short notice (it was
decided on friday evening CET).

Anyway, the result of the Test-Bugathon is that around 140 PRs have been
closed (kern:8, bin:2, ports:~100, i386:1, docs:7, www:4, usb:14,
conf:4, amd64:1). I'd like to thank all the committers and participants
who came, it was a lot of fun.

The test has proven its point so we'll definitely make new bugathons in
the near future. We haven't settled on a date yet, but an announcement
will be made once the date will be decided, at least two weeks before
the event.

In the meantime, don't hesitate to come to the IRC channel
#freebsd-bugbusters on EFNET or subscribe to the freebsd-bugbusters
mailing list.

Have fun fixing bugs!
