I consider this to be an absolutely excellent idea. We in the Debian Games team considered a similar concept:
http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Parties Absolutely the main point of these is to get more/new people involved (especially those not yet involved in Debian), *not* to get stuff done. Getting stuff done is a nice side-effect of them of course ;) For the first one we planned to a screenshots party since making screenshots doesn't require a whole lot of skill and would thus be a nice way to introduce the concept to the wider Debian using community and get new people interested in helping improve gaming in Debian. Unfortunately this is currently stalled due to lack of time on my part to finish building the web interface I started for co-ordinating the party. I'm hoping I'll find time to do this before squeeze though. http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Parties/Screenshots Later on we planned to do bug finding and fixing parties as we attract more folks to the team. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
