Hello Developers,

On Saturday 19th September 2020[1] we held the second Bugathon of 2020.

The Bugathon was hosted on google meet, and coordinated in the
#freebsd-bugs irc channel on freenode.  We planned a window from
1400UTC-2100UTC with the intention of having a long enough block of time
that most of the world could take part. During this time we spoke about
workflows and approaches for dealing with bugs and issues.

For most hours of today there were 10 or so people on the google meet.
In total we modified roughly 90 bugs[2] and have generated roughly 20
commits[2] so far (most of these commits are tagged with 'Event:
September 2020 Bugathon').

Contributors today included several people that had not contribute to
the FreeBSD bug reporting and development process and we got some
creating accounts on phabricator and creating reviews.

I would like to thank everyone that attended and helped close bugs,
triage issues and added form to the discussion. I hope that more of
these events happen in the future.

To make sure we don't have another long pause between Bugathons, we are
going to plan a third Bugathon for 2020 around the end of November/start
of December.

Going forward we might want to consider reducing the number of hours and
starting later or setting up a couple of people to 'host' the start and
the end of the Bugathon time slot.

I will follow up nearer to the time of the next Bugathon date with
specific details and plans for the day.

I hope that you will join us next time to process bugs and make FreeBSD
better.

- Tom
