Hi,

- We'll try to migrate as many confirmable bugs from the Source Forge tracker to Launchpad.

I think that part of the bug day should also include retesting OSes that appear in OS Support List as having bug and confirming if the bug is still present and if it's in Launchpad or not.

There have been reports of several legacy OSes being unable to install
or boot in the newer qemu while working in the older one. They're
probably not in the "OS Support List" though. Are they effectively
uninteresting for the purpose of the 0.13 release?

There are a couple of.

The majority of them are because SeaBIOS not behaving like real hardware should and must do.

If you know any OS that's not in the OS Support List and is broken please commit.

If something is broken, please file a bug against it. The OS Support List is a very useful resource but we still need bugs to actually work on fixing the problems.

Unfortunately I doubt I will have time to participate in the Bug Day.
