In either case, which 2 days? 2) Since this is an OE event, should it focus only on OE bugs[2], or should it be generalized for any bug? 3) Should we create a sign-up sheet (wiki) to keep track of who is participating, and which issues are being looked at by whom? (anything else?) notes: 1) If you or the company for which you work uses OE/Yocto, please consider making this a company event and having/allowing the engineers (to) participate. 2) Even if you're not a recipe-, or a build-, or a python-wizard there are still many things you can do to contribute. Being able to reproduce a bug or reporting that a bug can't be reproduced can sometimes be quite helpful (sometimes this points to a host issue or to a bug's description not being descriptive enough). Sometimes a bug is stuck in the "needs info" stage which maybe you can provide. 3) Can anyone think of way to help "get the word out"? 4) It would be cool to be able to provide incentives to help people get interested and contributing to knocking some bugs around. So if anyone (*cough* Intel) has any neat hardware (*cough* Galileo, Edison) they could offer as an incentive (or, conversely, if there's a board you'd like to see Yocto target) please see about making that happen.
