Announcement

In preparation for the 2010 Squeeze release ?Bug Squashing Party, Debian-NYC is having a workshop to review the important background. This workshop will be essentially identical to the past two workshops: introduction on how to get a source package, alter, rebuild, and submit the patch. We will cover other Debian procedures for handing bugs and bug squashing parties.

The stated purpose of this workshop is so that beginners of all ranks 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, for anyone unable to make it on this date - so do not fear if you can't make this one.

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 allowing 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 loan, please contact us.

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).
