<b>What do you need to bring?</b> |
45 |
</p> |
46 |
|
47 |
<ul> |
48 |
<li>A Gentoo system, an Internet connection and an IRC client</li> |
49 |
<li>Your bug. If you don't have one, we will find you one to suit your area |
50 |
of interest and your skills</li> |
51 |
<li>Your favorite editor</li> |
52 |
<li>A way to test that your bug is fixed (asking people counts!)</li> |
53 |
<li>You <b>don't</b> need to know C, C++, or bash</li> |
54 |
</ul> |
55 |
|
56 |
<p> |
57 |
<b>What's a bug?</b> Gentoo's way of tracking change requests. A change |
58 |
request can be anything from "I've found a typo in foo" to "I've built this |
59 |
really useful program called bar but there's no ebuild for it." Bugs have |
60 |
various levels of helpfulness, from identifying the existence of a problem |
61 |
to localizing the problem to providing the patch to fix it. |
62 |
</p> |
63 |
|
64 |
<p> |
65 |
There are bugs in documentation such as man pages as well as ebuilds and the |
66 |
source code that Gentoo distributes. These bugs are problem reports. Bugs |
67 |
for things Gentoo doesn't do yet but you think should be done are feature |
68 |
requests. <b>Bugday is more about fixing problems than adding features</b>, |
69 |
but you won't be turned away if you want help with a new feature. |
70 |

<b>Want to know more about Bugday?</b> It's held on the first Saturday of |
74 |
every month. It's an opportunity for everyone to contribute to making Gentoo |
75 |
better, and eventually you might even become a Gentoo developer. See the |
76 |
<uri link="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/bugday/index.xml">Bugday project |
77 |
page</uri> for more details. |
78 |
</p> |

|
80 |
<p> |
81 |
<b>Bugday is about community spirit</b>. Gentoo is a community—there |
82 |
is no "me" and "them", there is only "we," so instead of lobbying for "them" |
83 |
to fix your particular bug, work together to fix it! Bugday is an |
84 |
opportunity to get help to help yourself. |
85 |
</p> |
86 |
|
87 |
<p> |
88 |
If you've been wanting to get involved but weren't sure how, Bugday is a |
89 |
great way for you to see what goes on in making a distribution and get |
90 |
involved in Gentoo. |
