+Title: Gentoo Linux monthly bug day
+Version: $Revision$

+
+Credits
+=======
+
+I stole this idea from liquidx who probably stole it from one of the many
+projects that do something similar.
+
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+Gentoo Linux should have one day a month that is devoted to clearing out bugs,
+and accepting new ebuilds from bugzilla. This one day a month should not
+replace a developers normal bug tracking duties. This "bug day" should become
+something that involves the user community to make them feel closer to the
+developers.
+
+Motivation
+==========
+
+I believe this would help keep the number of bugs in bugzilla at a lower level.
+This would also be a good chance for some user submitted ebuilds to be committed
+that would normally go overlooked. I think this is a good idea. We could turn
+this into a big deal for the user community.
+
+Specification
+=============
+
+This doesn't require any coding. It just requires one day each month that
+little other than bug closing will happen. I would like to see all developers
+participate, but I know it's unlikely that we could get everybody free on the
+same day. The majority of the people that have had an opinion have
+suggested a weekend day. We will have bugday's on a Saturday. Gentoo
+developers can try to get some of the users to help them out. A prize to
+the most successful developer was suggested. This is an idea to keep in
+mind for the future. I guess I'm going to be the one coordinating this
+until I get help, but when I do get help in coordinating this we can
+coordinate via irc if all parties are capable, or email if not. I will
+send out a notice telling the details at least one week in advance to the
+-dev, -core, and -user mailing lists.
+
+Rationale
+=========
+
+Gnome [1]_ , Mozilla, Zope [2]_ , and other open source projects do something similar with good
+success.
