Sponsored bug fixes at T3BOARD10
================================

27 March 2010

During this year's TYPO3 Snowboard Tour in Laax (Switzerland) the third episode of the bug auction was held in which people had the possibility to bid for their favourite bugs to be solved.

Eleven bugs out of both TYPO3 development branches (v4 & v5) got under the hammer. The attending developers had the task to analyse and solve them right after the auction on the same evening. The event - held by the two fabulous Danish auctioneers - was combined with a moustache competition, that was won by Claudio Cathomen who stood up to four competitors.

One of the benefits of bidding high was to be named in this very news article - so here is a list of the companies sponsoring the bugs as well as the bugs which were fixed:

**Thanks to all of you!**

By the way, the currency of bids was "drinks at the bar", which had a fixed exchange rate of one drink equaling 5 Swiss Francs and could be spent on the bar at the same night and the one after. The total amount of 1781 drinks was split into one part for drinks on the bar and the other part is going to be used for core development in general (including a diner for the core team at the next team meeting previous to the Developer Days).
8 out of the total 11 bugs were resolved later the same night (most of them were no-brainers), one committed about a week later, and another two are still pending in the core list (but we promise to get them fixed until the T3DD10 in July 2010).

Special thanks go to Dan Jensen and Mikael Conley - both moderated the show as Auction Masters. More thanks go to the developers Patrick Broens, Karsten Dambekalns, Niels Dehl, Rupert Germann, Andy Grunwald, Oliver Hader, Sebastian Kurfürst, Tobias Liebig, Susanne Moog, Peter Niederlag, Jochen Rau, Ingmar Schlecht, Michael Stucki and to all other developers giving a helping hand.

Additionally, we would also like to thank [Newmedia](http://www.newmedia.ch/) and [snowflake](http://www.snowflake.ch/) who generously sponsored our gondola (CHF 800) for getting up from Laax on Wednesday night. Thank you!
