[Debian-NYC] Pre-bug squashing party workshop
In preparation for the 2010 Squeeze release Bug Squashing Party (BSP),
Debian-NYC is having a workshop to review the important
background. This workshop will be very similar to the past two
workshops: introduction on how to get a source package, alter (fixing
bugs!), rebuild, and submit your changes as a patch. It will happen on
the evening of Jan 21st, roughly a week before the BSP.
The purpose of this workshop is so that all kinds of beginners feel
welcome at our bug squashing party, and feel that they can make useful
contributions. There will be a repeat of this workshop on the Friday
of the Bug Squashing Party (Jan 29th) for anyone unable to make it on
the 21st, but you'll be able to dive into the BSP more easily if
you've had a week to play with these ideas and tools beforehand.
Attendees of previous workshops do not need to attend this workshop -
better would be to practice the things from past workshops some!
However, everyone is welcome, and past attendees can help mentor new
attendees. This workshop will be focused on helping the bug squashing
party in January 2010 to run smoothly.
The Debian-NYC series of workshops as a whole is designed to introduce
Debian, Debian tools and techniques, and the Debian community as well
as provide skills to attendees and helping Debian. This workshop is
targeted towards technically-skilled people who would like knowledge
of basics of Debian and how to contribute back to Debian.
Please bring: A Debian (or other Debian-based distribution such as
Ubuntu) computer with your preferred development tools on it. Extra
computers may be available for you to use if you can't bring one; but
please contact us ahead of time if you'd like assistance with
machinery, so the folks who can bring extra know how much to bring.
Date/Time/Location: January 21, 2010. 18:30 (tutorial section starts
19:00, subject to change). Location: TBA
Registration: Free, space is limited, RSVP to (rkd at zgib.net).
Contact: IRC via #debian-nyc on irc.debian.org ; debiannyc@vireo.org ;
Richard Darst (rkd at zgib.net)

========
Well, here it is: pre-BSP workshop on the Thursday a week before. Let
me know if you can make this date (even if we've already talked about
it) - I'll keep the sign up list.
Note to list: As the thing above says, there will be a repeat of this
(or something like it) at the BSP itself. Could someone in the middle
ground (not a DD, but has been to several workshops) step up and do
this? We'll give all the help you could want.
See you then,
- Richard
