[Kde-pim] Fwd: KDE PIM bug triage / developer sprint anyone?

[Stephan Diestelhorst]

(Proper kde-pim mailing list. Sorry.)

Hi,
 first of all, apologies if this is bad cross posting, but the issue
touches both hacking
and KDE PIM.

Some background, skip possibly:
I am becoming increasingly frustrated with the way bugs pile up and
are not handled.
This has prompted me to actually look into the source and pinpoint the offending
change set (regression!), however, the fix was not straight forward,
so I am depending
on the author of that changeset. That has been sitting idle for
several weeks now.
Note: Not pointing fingers here, so please stay cool.

Now the real part:
What I think has already been lamented is the lack of bug triaging and
leadership for
this project in particular. What I would like to propose in order to
help here is a bug
triaging and squashing sprint. It would at least allow me to have synchronous
communication with the people who know how things are supposed to work but have
not enough time to fix all the bugs. I believe this might be
beneficial for the project as
a whole.

So.. are there any plans for having a developer sprint soon? The ones on
https://sprints.kde.org/sprint do not really touch KDE PIM. If not,
would people be
interested to have one? If this becomes a yes, I would actually spare
up to one week
of vacation for this, and can offer to organise things locally, if
Dresden (Eastern
Germany) would fit as a location.

Let's tackle this! Been to Thunderbird already and came back.

Stephan
