What do you need to bring? |

skills |
| 15 |
* Your favorite editor |
| 16 |
* A way to test that your bug is fixed (asking people counts!) |

What's a bug? Gentoo's way of tracking change requests. A change request can be anything from "I've |
| 20 |
found a typo in foo" to "I've built this really useful program called bar but there's no ebuild for |
| 21 |
it." Bugs have various levels of helpfulness, from identifying the existence of a problem to |
| 22 |
localizing the problem to providing the patch to fix it. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
There are bugs in documentation such as man pages as well as ebuilds and the source code that Gentoo |
| 25 |
distributes. These bugs are problem reports. Bugs for things Gentoo doesn't do yet but you think |
| 26 |
should be done are feature requests. Bugday is more about fixing problems than adding features, but |
| 27 |
you won't be turned away if you want help with a new feature. |

Want to know more about Bugday? It's held on the first Saturday of every month. It's an opportunity |
| 30 |
for everyone to contribute to making Gentoo better, and eventually you might even become a Gentoo |
| 31 |
developer. See the Bugday project page for more details. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Bugday is about community spirit. Gentoo is a community—there is no "me" and "them", there is only |
| 34 |
"we," so instead of lobbying for "them" to fix your particular bug, work together to fix it! Bugday |
| 35 |
is an opportunity to get help to help yourself. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
If you've been wanting to get involved but weren't sure how, Bugday is a great way for you to see |
| 38 |
what goes on in making a distribution and get involved in Gentoo. |
