Many of the long-time Haiku contributors are quite busy these days and
have limited time to work on Haiku. A lot of productivity happens at
BeGeistert Coding Sprints because many other developers are around and
there is a lot of cross-pollination, etc.
While working in the same room is much more ideal, I propose the idea
of scheduling a Haiku "Bug Fix Weekend" where as many Haiku
contributors as possible mark this weekend in their schedules, talk to
their significant others about it, and commit to taking part by just
working on Haiku bugs during that time. We can create a new IRC
channel for this where whoever is around on the weekend can join to
have more camaraderie. I feel this will instill some of the same
feelings as the coding sprint where we all are working together toward
the same goals and know that others will be around to help, make
suggestions, etc.
I think this is also appropriate now with our goal of releasing Alpha
4 soon, as this weekend's purpose can be a tidying and finishing of
the code specifically for the Alpha 4 release.
So is there is enough interest in this to make it a reality? How many
of the "more busy" of us can set aside a weekend? What weekends are
just no good for this purpose? For me I think March 10-11 is a
possibility for this (as confirmed with the wife, haha.)
