We like the idea so much that we've put it on our plan.  See 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Plan/3.5 - we are planning two days at the beginning of each milestone, for working on tests, and performance.  The first "
Working on our test suites day" will be Monday next week, and the first "Working on performance day" on Tuesday.
We'll try to find a room where the people in Ottawa can work together (and apply peer pressure ;-) ).  People from elsewhere are invited to join us virtually, for example on IRC or the new XMPP server.

I was talking with Kevin about the sorry state of our unit tests, and
got to thinking, maybe it's a good idea to have a test day once in a while.
As I have been fixing bugs in the CNF I have been adding test cases and
improving the test capabilities.  I will continue to do so, and
hopefully soon it will be really easy for people to add more test
cases.  This is something I will also solicit contributions for.  I can
make a test suite with a couple of cases and see if someone can
contribute many more tests.
What do folks think about a test day?
