SAGE Bug Day 12

The event will take place on Saturday, May 10th, 2008 and officially start at 9 am pacific standard time.

Remember the "Twisted Rule" -- Don't work on anything unless there is a trac ticket for it.

• The base version of SAGE we'll start with is (probably) 3.0.1

• STATUS

• IRC log

• For a trac account follow these instructions

• We'll all be on #sage-devel at irc.freenode.net.

From Linux you can chat via a text console by installing "irssi", running it, and typing
  /SERVER add irc.freenode.net
  /SERVER irc.freenode.net
  /join #sage-devel

If you are using Konversation (the KDE IRC client), you can set up an auto-replace rule that lets you type #1322 (for trac #1322) and what everyone sees is http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/1322 (which lets people click on the link and see the bug you are talking about).

To configure this, go to Settings -> Configure Konversation -> Behavior -> Auto Replace and create a rule with Find as "#([0-9]+)" and Replace with as "http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/%1" (both without the quotes). You can select whether this rule is applied to incoming posts, your outgoing posts, or both.

Participants (with area they would like to work on)

1. Michael Abshoff (old bugs)
2. William Stein (notebook bugs)
3. Craig Citro (current queue: #2535, unfiled enhancement for GammaH, #2329)
4. David Harvey (not sure if I can make it; if I show up, I'll start by slaying #2943)
5. Burcin Erocal
6. Carlo Hämäläinen (#3150)
7. Bjarke Hammersholt Roune (#1440, #2932)

Many other people will hopefully participate, but didn't yet add themselves here yet.

Since this might be caused by some dependency being not merged yet I will wait until all tickets are reviewed before opening a ticket.
