I guess we had one on Sept. 27 or 28 2008. I guess the next one is not yet 
scheduled, but will be somewhen in the fall I guess.

On that subject, I think Dan Kegel's patchwatcher was a really, really good 
idea, and we should revive it. Not only to catch simple problems, but also to 
broaden the set of platforms patches are pre-tested before they are 
applied(/me thinks about different graphics drivers)
