CommitFest 2011-11 starting soon

From
Greg Smith
Date:
Tomorrow November 15, patch submission will close for the 2011-11 
CommitFest after 11:59PM PST.  New patches ready for review should be 
submitted to this mailing list and added to the CommitFest application 
at https://commitfest.postgresql.org/  See 
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Development_information for guidelines 
on patch development, submission, review, and how the CommitFest work 
happens.

Even before the last minute rush there are already 25 submissions that 
are looking for reviewers.  If you can apply a patch and you can use the 
new feature, you're qualified to start reviewing it.  And we've produced 
some guides to the patch part--see 
http://www.pgcon.org/2011/schedule/events/368.en.html as one example.

If you're interested in helping with review, but are looking for 
suggestions on what patch to select, you should join the Round Robin 
Reviewers list to get assigned one.  More information about that at 
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/RRReviewers

This is the 3rd of the 4 CommitFests for PostgreSQL 9.2.  The hope is 
that any major features aimed at 9.2 will have been submitted for 
initial review by this one, so there's still time to get feedback and 
re-submit before the final CommitFest for 9.2, 2012-01.

There are also 4 uncontroversial submissions in this CommitFest that are 
marked "Ready for Committer":

-Non-inheritable check constraints
-plperl verify utf8 strings
-Perl xsubpp from cpan
-Add Support for building with Visual Studio 2010

Committers who would like to get an early start have some options already.
