plasma bug day 1

Today was the first of two Plasma Bug Days we're hosting this week in #plasma on irc.freenode.net. It started at noon UTC and people started rolling in. With the help of Ann Marie and Marco, we got the volunteer bug hunters up to speed and working with a high degree of effectivity.

So far (and we're not yet done for the day!) we've closed 62 reports. There were a number of fixes applied for 4.8 (and some for the upcoming 4.7.4 as well) as a result, and duplicates or already fixed bugs were also being caught. A good number of crashers were identified and fixed, and one vastly annoying bug where a panel would mutate and take over the whole screen when the screen count changed was also killed. That's pretty decent for a day's effort.

Big thanks and kudos to all those who participated so far, including asraniel, thijs, BrummbQ, mck182, emilsedgh, mrrub and Adaptee. (Hope I didn't miss anyone, if I did: mea culpa! and let me know :)

We'll be at it again all day tomorrow, so come join us in #plasma and have some fun with us getting Plasma into great shape!

Nice to hear people managed to squeez so many. Hoping to see soon beta 2 as now the current beta is little rough from here and there.

Is there a log available or list of what bugs were fixed?

Yeah, was good! Only 13 to sink down to 3rd place in the list, and even the goal of the same number of open bugs as half a year ago seems not too far out of reach!
