Launchpad has a lot of <a
href=”https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-project/+bugs?field.importance=Critical”>critical
bugs</a>. A month ago, we had close to 300 of them. As of the time of
writing, we have 237.
Francis reckons that we can have zero critical bugs by June 27th. I am a
little bit more sceptical. To that end, I’ve make a wager with the Launchpad
developer community.
If we have zero critical bugs by June 27th, then I’ll let one Launchpad
contributor shove a cream pie in my face at our get-together in Dublin.
Since announcing this on Twitter, Ted Gould and Neil Patel have also
volunteered to be cream-pied if we meet this goals.
Here are the ground rules:
* launchpad-project, not launchpad
* The bugs have to be actually closed, and if fixed, actually released
* “Critical” is as defined on our bug triage page (and no cheating by
changing the policy)
* Any bugs that are escalated by Canonical stakeholders after the
announcement do not count, but any new timeouts, oopses and so forth do
count
* I will leave it to others to nominate a pie-er
* A custard pie would also be acceptable
If you want to see me publicly embarrassed in the tastiest way possible, then
now is the time to start fixing bugs. I will make sure that the event is
filmed, photographed, instagrammed, live-tweeted or whatever it is that the
cool kids are doing these days.

If you want to see me publicly and deliciously embarrassed in the tastiest way possible, then now is the time to start fixing bugs. I will make sure that the event is filmed, photographed, instagrammed, live-tweeted and made available in whatever ways the cool kids are mainlining their microtainment these days.

I am sorry guys,

There is 1 critical bug that currently exists and will remain: #1

Bugs that affect Launchpad itself, not bugs in every single project hosted in Launchpad. Bug 1 does not affect Launchpad.
