Bug fix party - this Saturday, December 17 2005

By moshe weitzman on

On Saturday, December 17 at 18:00GMT (noon eastern time US, 7pm central european time), I will be welcoming the whole Drupal community to a Bug Fixing party. Even if you can't attend at that time, you can still help out. See below.

We are determined to make 4.7 our most powerful, and least buggy release to date. Almost everyone can contribute in one way or another. Our party is coordinated via Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Meet fellow Drupalites in the room entitled #drupal-bugfix on the server chat.freenode.net. If you are unfamilar with IRC, you will need to download an IRC client application to your PC.

Drupair released!

By flevour on

When the number of Drupal powered sites you maintain grows larger, patching all of them when a minor release comes out can be a pain. The pain can even get bigger if you can interact with your hosted files only via FTP.

That's where Drupair comes in handy: just choose from the dropdown menu the version you want to upgrade from and you will get a tar.gz archive to get your Drupal installation up to date within the major release of your choice.

Bughunt competition

By chx on

With the release of 4.7.0 beta1, I will be co-sponsoring a bug hunt competition to be concluded with the release of 4.7.0. The prize will be a combination of 150USD from the Google Summer of Code and an additonal 200USD donated by me.

I will count the opened, non-duplicate issues marked as "CVS" or "4.7..." in the Drupal project issue's tracker between now and 4.7.0 are released. First place will be 200USD, second will be 100USD, and third will be 50USD. In reality, anyone using Drupal will be the winner as the more bugs found and fixed before 4.7.0 means a stronger build for every user.
