I enjoyed the bug day a lot and will certainly come back for more when I can spare a little time. One question there: Will the "easy" keyword in roundup be maintained further, i.e. will new easy bugs be marked in the future? That would be very useful for neophyte contributors.

May I suggest http://bugs.python.org/issue1040026 ? It has a fairly simple patch (posixmodule.diff), a new test (test_posix5.PATCH), and it fixes a bug that makes os.times unusable on common platforms.

See my comments for details. OK, these should be easy to address. (Comments in the tracker.)

[Python-Dev] another Python Bug Day?
Dear python-dev group, are their any plans to organize another Python Bug Day in the near future? It's been a while since the last one (last May). I might be misremembering, but I think at one time there was even talk of having one bug day every month. For people who are not core developers but would still like to contribute, the Bug Days are quite exciting events. It would be great if they could keep going.

Also, there are developers around to answer questions about the process, etc. Rapid feedback => good.
