Cool, I'd like to see it for 1 full day instead of some specific hours, it works
better for me at weekends but I don't expect other persons to be as antisocial
as me =)

In my opinion I think it could follow the same format as the Ubuntu Bug day[0],
which means a list of todo items should be generated somewhere (probably the
wiki) and everyone could be able work on the ones that they want. In such format
I'd like to see extra help on #ubuntu-quality, I mean, I've always been able to
find help in there when needed, however I think it'd great if quality members
could commit to be in there at specific hours depending of their time zones so
voluntaries can find specially welcoming quality members waiting for them.

Just my 2 cents, I'm looking forward for participating =)
