Thanks for the summary, Magnus! I was unaware of that page, so did not edit it when reviewing or signing off. Editing a wiki page seems a bit odd: doesn't bugzilla track status and who's working on a bug already? Commenting on the bug or hopping on IRC seems a good idea if you absolutely want to avoid the risk of "two signoffs, one bug" (I apologise for that image ;-) ). > As far as I can tell we were about 6 people signing off on things JOOI, how can you tell that? > * GSOD #2 > > BibLibre have said all their staff will dedicate half a day every two > weeks to signing off on bugs and similar tasks (woohoo!).

Yes, if they are.

"real"? I'm unsure about conferencing because it seems like it would need its own effort to set up (I'd go for a simple SIP party-line, but I'm sure there are others using incompatible systems which I wouldn't want to use either) and keep running. It may also suffer from the synchronisation problem worse than IRC currently does. Yes to lists and bots - maybe we could reuse some of the tools from another bugzilla-using project's bug-squash party? I'm not sure where to look for that though. > Or is GSOD a really bad idea, would it be better to channel our energy > into making signoffs (and similar activities) look more like an > ongoing task, and less something you only have to think about once a > month? I think spot events are good when we want to bring a count down.
