First NetBSD Bugathon a Success

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday September 25, 2006 @06:03AM from the of-course-it-runs-over-bugs dept.

Daniel de Kok writes "Last weekend the first NetBSD Bugathon weekend was organized by Elad Efrat to handle as many open PRs (problem reports) as possible in a weekend, checking and fixing the bugs that were reported. Although the first Bugathon was not announced widely, it was a success: about 30 developers and 20 users closed around 270 PRs, bringing the number of open PRs down from 4200 to less than 4000. The next Bugathon will take place on 7-8 October, and NetBSD users and developers are invited to help fixing bugs and handling PRs."

Have you tried OpenBSD? I know it's had a lot of work done on the VAX port recently, including adding support for some VAXstation framebuffers (this is only in -CURRENT at the moment, but will be included with OpenBSD 4.0, due in a month or so).
