Fwd: [HACKERS] Commitfest Code Sprint with PUGs

Is this something anyone in AUSPUG would be interested in? Don't let
lack of backend knowledge deter you; there's plenty of other parts to
reviewing a patch, and the review process specifically encourage
participation from newer people. As long as you can patch postgres
source and compile it, you should be fine.

If we wanted to do this, I'm thinking the ideal case would be to camp
out at Sun for several hours on a Saturday.

Oh, and next meeting will be August 4th. :)
