This could be a good way to grow the developer community, and increase productivity.I think that is a good extension/improvement of my idea. That way we don't have to worry about satisfying everyone's schedules and constraints, we can just schedule it and whoever can make it will do so. For me it isn't even as much about everyone putting in a bunch of Haiku hours on that weekend, just that we can ignite the feeling of a common goal and community that can sort of lag when everyone is so busy and only a few people are working at any one time. I will wait for a bit more feedback and date suggestions for March, and then will post something on the Haiku web-site. Another preparation step would be to get a list of priority bugs for the weekend, personally as well as for the project as a whole.
You could tie this in as a fund raising activity, something catchy like the March for Betado a little dog and pony show on the front page advertising the activity and someone gives like a 3 paragraph summary on monday.
Could be a effective wallet motivator. Sean
