1.8 bug fix sprinting this weekend

[Tim Graham]

If you would like to contribute to the timely release of 1.8 and if you have some free time over the next couple days, please consider working on something from this list (whether it is writing a patch, reviewing an existing patch, or triaging an issue):

https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=assigned&status=new&version=1.8alpha1&severity=Release+blocker&or&keywords=~1.8-beta&status=assigned&status=new&or&keywords=~1.8&status=assigned&status=new&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=component&col=changetime&desc=1&order=changetime

These are my top priorities until the beta release (scheduled for Monday), but if you have other small bug fixes, they will also happily be considered.

I will be available in #django-dev most of tomorrow (~12:00 UTC - 0:00 UTC) and on Saturday (~12:00 UTC - 19:00 UTC) if you need guidance (and there are many other helpful people around in case I am not). I invite other members of the team to participate and post their availability to cover other timezones.

Tim,

Our company is having our quarterly "hack days" next Thursday and Friday. Can we sync up to work on some patches then?

[Tim Graham]

Sure, sounds good, Chris. Feel free to contact me off list, if appropriate.
