SAGE Bug Day 15

The event will take place on Thursday, October 30, 2008 and officially start at 9 am pacific standard time and go on until people run out of energy.

Don't work on anything unless there is a trac ticket for it.

• The base version of SAGE we'll start with is 3.2.?

• For a trac account follow [:TracGuidelines:these] instructions

• We'll all be on #sage-devel at irc.freenode.net.

From Linux you can chat via a text console by installing "irssi", running it, and typing
  /SERVER add irc.freenode.net
  /SERVER irc.freenode.net
  /join #sage-devel

If you are using Konversation (the KDE IRC client), you can set up an auto-replace rule that lets you type #1322 (for trac #1322) and what everyone sees is http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/1322 (which lets people click on the link and see the bug you are talking about). To configure this, go to Settings -> Configure Konversation -> Behavior -> Auto Replace and create a rule with Find as "#([0-9]+)" and Replace with as "http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/%1" (both without the quotes). You can select whether this rule is applied to incoming posts, your outgoing posts, or both.
