<description>A bugathon is an event coordinated by the &os;
bugbusting team. Bugathons are held on IRC (in the
#freebsd-bugbusters channel of EFnet), and are attended by any
interested &os; developers and contributors during a week-end.
They focus on closing as many problem reports and fixing as many
bugs as possible. The plan for the seventh bugathon is to work
through many of the problem reports in &os;'s GNATS database
containing patches, with a view to either committing them,
getting them into a committable shape, or explaining to the
submitters the issues with the supplied patches.</description>
