[15:22] <G__81> hi i am interested in contributing to the paper cuts project
[15:23] <G__81> would like to be part of the team
[15:23] <G__81> it would be great if some one could help me get started
[15:27] <sense> G__81: Have you been triaging bugs before?
[15:27] <G__81> no i would like to get involved in fixing bugs which have triaged
[15:27] <sense> G__81: We only accept people into the papercutters team who have a lot of triaging experience.
[15:27] <sense> G__81: However, that does not mean that contributions are not welcome.
[15:27] <sense> Especially fixing bugs is something we want people for.
[15:28] <G__81> i have not done triaging much, i have been a contributor to Fedora project
[15:28] <G__81> and also contribute to other upstream projects too
[15:28] <sense> G__81: The thing is, it is not always very easy to see whether a bug is a valid paper cut or not.
[15:28] <sense> G__81: Your experience is very valuable.
[15:28] <G__81> yeah i understand thats true
[15:28] <sense> G__81: You know there will be a session at the UDS on paper cuts?
[15:28] <sense> You may want to listen in to that.
[15:28] <G__81> no
[15:28] <G__81> oh great
[15:29] <G__81> yeah i would when is that ?
[15:29] <G__81> i could do it remotely . Did listen to couple of sessions yesterday
[15:29] <sense> Let me take a look.
[15:30] <sense> G__81: This afternoon, at 16:15
[15:30] <sense> Bonaire 6
[15:30] <sense> We're in EDT here.
[15:31] <G__81> oh ok
[15:31] <G__81> so to start off working on stuff is it mandatory that i have to start listening to the session and then get into fixing ?
[15:32] <G__81> i just have only one laptop running 10.10
[15:32] <G__81> thats it
[15:32] <sense> G__81: You can start contributing anytime you want!
[15:33] <sense> G__81: Take a look at <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bugs?search=Search&field.status=Triaged>
[15:33] <G__81> so if its like i want to fix something in Empathy ? should i get in touch with the empathy team ... etc or can i get assistance here itself ?

[15:33] <sense> G__81: Of course you can always try to get in touch with the Empathy developers themselves directly.
[15:33] <sense> THose are not in Ubuntu, of course.
[15:34] <G__81> i mean for the paper cuts and if the app is empathy
[15:35] <sense> G__81: If you want to fix Empathy paper cuts, then you should look for reported paper cuts in Launchpad, in the list at the end of the link I just gave.
[15:35] <G__81> yeah its there
[15:35] <G__81> i had a look @ the link and i could see some empathy stuff
[15:35] <sense> good
[15:35] <G__81> so for this should i contact the empathy team or can i get assistance if any here ?
[15:36] <sense> G__81: The One Hundred Paper Cuts project is an Ubuntu project, not an Empathy one. You could contact the Empathy team of course, but you shouldn't have to.
[15:36] <G__81> oh ok thanks
