Second day of the BSP In Hildesheim

Stats so far:
Closed with direct uploadeds: 20
Supplied a patch: 7
Closed by removals: 8
Unreproducible: 1
Closed otherwise (e.g. by proper versioning): 9

However, we also had to upgrade 6 and open 3 new bugs, but so far we still have solved more issues than we found :)

PS: Actually I think the numbers are even better, as we forgot to count some of the bugs.

Report from the Bug Squashing Party in Hildesheim Part 1

Yesterday the Bug Squashing Party in Hildesheim, Germany started. I think it's going well, according to the statistics of the #debian-bugs channel, we solved 11 bugs with direct uploads, 2 with uploads to delayed, 5 via package removals and opened/upgraded only one. So we are still fixing more than we break ;)

I'm especially pleased that some of the above was done by newbies. When we started to organise this BSP (well, when I started to watch Meike and Wolfram organise it to be precise), we where kind of worried by the experienced developer to newbie ratio, and already started to prepare introductions to packaging and similar adhoc sessions, but as it seems they don't seem to be needed. Good :)

So back to fixing stuff, good hunt!

Ignoring all the above (multiple tags possible) 604 bugs need to be fixed by Debian Contributors to get Debian 7.0 Wheezy released.

However, with the view of the Release Managers, 991 need to be dealt with for the release to happen.

Please see Interpreting the release critical bug statistics for an explanation of the different numbers.
