Hi everybody,
I am happy to announce and invite you to the next Wikimedia Bugday:
Tuesday, January 29th, 17:00-23:00 UTC [1] in #wikimedia-dev on Freenode IRC [2]
We are going to take a look at bug reports (excluding enhancement requests) which have not seen any changes for more than one year, trying to reproduce some plus provide some feedback. Currently these are about 250 tickets (see [3] for the list).
In general, bugdays are about hanging out together on IRC chat, discussing some reports in the software issues database at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org plus introducing interested people to "triaging". No technical knowledge needed, no obligations! It's a nice and easy way to get involved in the community or to give something back.
Step by, say hello, and give it a try! :-)
For more information on Triaging in general, check out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Triage
See you around?

I have forwarded e-mail to a local software testing group and a couple of people said they are interested (so far). See you in #wikimedia-dev on 29th.

Pro tip: If you use the "event announcer", you can link directly to that date & time :)

More generally, and to follow up on our discussion yesterday about better coordination, I think I'd like to integrate that kind of announcements into a central page on mw.o that would also list Tech chats, tech-related IRC office hours, QA testing sessions, upcoming deployments, etc.
The goal would be both for us and for contributors to have a clearer view of what's coming up. I may take a stab at a [[mw:Project:Calendar]] next week and transclude part of it into [[mw:How to contribute]].

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Meeting_preparations (which I tried to follow) lists https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events which didn't feel appropriate here (no physical meeting).

Having an (open) calendar would be great, in case there isn't one yet. For my case, the aforementioned "Bug meeting prep" page links to a "Bug Triages" calendar on Google Calendar but I have no idea how to edit it, plus it feels a bit isolated.

Just a reminder: This is now. Feel free to join #wikimedia-dev , hang out with us, and clean up some older bug reports that need some love!
