Not really an RT, this was suggested by David Crossley yesterday (or sometime earlier, my body clock feels funny this morning ;-)
Could we have a monthly "virtual hackathon" on the first Friday of each month?
Suggestions:
-Takes place on the first Friday of every month
-Lasts about 24 hours, from whenever someone sends a mail here saying that they're waiting for others to join
-Use IRC for real-time coordination
-Use normal bugzilla coordination once someone actually starts working on a bug
-Possibly use SubEthaEdit or similar whiteboarding tools [1] for pair programming/reviews
-The goal is to close as many Bugzilla issues as possible, or bring them to a useful state (asking for clarifications etc)
How does this sound? -Bertrand
[1] I once tried coccinella (http://hem.fyristorg.com/matben/), it is great and very lightweight, cross-platform, uses Jabber for communication so no firewall problems
This made me look at some more tools which allow to work collaboratively on something like a whiteboard.
Here are some more tools I found: http://highstick.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_highstick_archive.html#106564104151881746
