Frankly, this does not need context for anyone who “gets” #FOSS to see what this is about:
In true FOSS communities like @debian , everyone pitches. The person running the camera, or serving the food, or cleaning the kitchen may well be the developer who packaged or even wrote your favorite program.
Sorry to not be there with you all in Brest.
So ARPANET had a famous "Flag Day" where they switched over to TCP/IP in 1983; it required a simultaneous switchover of all host machines to the new protocol. And I know that "flag day" has since referred to big changes like that in networked systems. I assumed the name referred to some bitwise flags set in packet headers. Turns out, the term comes from Multics, when similar coordination was required for an encoding change. It happened on actual US Flag Day 1966!

@tjw On the day Opteron was supposed to tape out, a colleague discovered a logic bug. After some analysis, we figured out we could fix it by disconnecting a wire from one gate and attaching it to another. But running through or design flow would take days, and the ripple effect of changing connectivity could cause more problems. So I loaded the chip mask into VIM and modified the polygons directly, then we taped it out.
Don’t remember for sure, but I don’t think we told management 🙂
