Fwd: [HACKERS] Commitfest Code Sprint with PUGs

[decibel <decibel(at)decibel(dot)org>]

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. :)
