I've begin to fill the information about the IRC session I'm planing 
[1]. The date will be 15-16 of April. I hope it's ok for you?
Jean-Baptiste Faure and Cedric Bosdonnat are also available to help 
mentoring the session on one of the two days too.
Christian has already setup a bot retrieving the new filled bugs on BZ, 
I'm just missing a direct link inside the bot report, but I've not 
discuss this yet with him.
I've asked on the dev channel if we can use it but they prefer we open a 
dedicated one, so that will be #libreoffice-bugs.
Do you think we should add a table on the page where people indicate 
their nickname and their participation?
I hope we will be successful with this session and that a lot of bugs 
will be sorted :-)
