Informations about the credativ office

• Do not enter empty/closed offices. We might kick you out of the company.

• Please keep the front door closed. You need to ring the bell (well you should use all 3) if you want to get into the house. Worst case try +4.9.2.1.6.1.4.6.4.3.1.9.6 or .1.9.8
• There are 3 Hacklabs in different floors. Just follow the signs and find a place.

  • If you arrive before 15:00 / 3pm on Friday, please go to Hacklab 1.

• We'll have a small chill out area at the third floor in case you need a couch to fall asleep during the day

• The kitchen is located at the first floor. If you want to have something to drink (or eat), just go there and take what you want.
  • If you take something from the fridge, put a new bottle back in.
• There is a limited amount of free coffee available in the kitchen. The good Senseo coffee is available in the Hacklab 1 under the roof, please put 0.20 EUR into the glass for each cup.

Networking

• NEVER run dhcpd servers, radvd or similar things in the network. We'll hunt you down and squash you like a bug

• ipv6 will be available.

  • If you have ipv6 addresses from somewhere else on your laptop, make sure you don't create a routing mess

• Please bring your own network cable.

• WiFi will be available. SSID: BSP2010 and BSP2010-noV6

  • If you need ipv6, don't use APs with the SSID BSP2010-noV6 as they block v6 for unknown reasons (and no, there is no *WRT for them available )

Bugs, Targets, Ideals

• Please check if nobody else is working on a bug before you begin hacking!
• Make sure you use 'bts claim' to claim bugs you want to work on.

• An overview of claimed bugs is available on here.

• Also check the bts.turmzimmer.net for comments on the bug status. Add comments there if you have informations to add.

• Use #debian-bugs on the OFTC Network and ?BSP2010/CoordinationTokyoMoenchengladbach if more coordination is needed.

Release-critical bugs:

• http://bts.turmzimmer.net/details.php?bydist=both&sortby=packages&ignhinted=on&ignclaimed=on&ignnew=on&ignpending=on&ignbritney=on&ignotherfixed=on&new=7&refresh=1800

More:

• Take care of bugs found by piuparts

• Help the ipv6 release goal by adding ipv6 support to programs which do not support it yet. There is a list of bugs to work on, but don't hesitate to file new ipv6-related bugs if you find them - and fix them!

• Fix Bugs related to the Python2.6 transition, which should (hopefully!) start before the BSP.

• Fix Bugs (1, 2) related to Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. Axel Beckert has root access on the porter machines io and asdfasdf and can install build-dependencies where necessary.

• Find obsolete and unmaintained packages in unstable and file RoQA removal bugs.
• Squash everything else you don't like (but let the DDs live)
