| alexanderto | hi, anyone around, I'm new here, need answers to some quick questions | 09:02 |
|---|---|---|
| alexanderto | I joined Ubuntu just for a few days, I read several links on Ubuntu website and wiki, like UbuntuDevelopers, QuickStart, MOTU, BugSquads etc... | 09:03 |
| alexanderto | but yet I still have no clue how do I start to contribute by writing code to fix a bug ?? | 09:03 |
| alexanderto | I read the BugSquad link as well and also come to this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Tags | 09:03 |
| alexanderto | also tried to visit https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize | 09:03 |
| alexanderto | but do I just assign myself to a bug and start digging into it?? how does it work? | 09:03 |
| alexanderto | if there is a link about "How to start fixing bug", can someone point me to it, I hate to ask but I spent hours and can't seem to find the appropriate links | 09:04 |
| ersi | alexanderto: Hold on a few seconds and I'll fetch you a nice short article from dholbach | 09:12 |
| alexanderto | thanks ersi | 09:12 |
| alexanderto | so am I asking stupid questions here lol | 09:13 |
| ersi | alexanderto: I think this is the one, I think it exists in different layouts as well possibly, but content should be the same: http://daniel.holba.ch/blog/2011/03/ubuntu-development-guide-fixing-a-bug-in-ubuntu/ | 09:13 |
| ersi | Beside that one, I'd recommend checking out the session logs from Ubuntu Open Weeks and Developer Weeks (IRC sessions on different subjects) - should be up on the wiki somewhere. They had some great bug-fixing-sessions | 09:13 |
| alexanderto | I see, will be checking on the log | 09:14 |
| ersi | There's no stupid questions, there's just.. some more tedious questions and some less ;) | 09:14 |
| alexanderto | yeah, I just joined, no clue how it works here | 09:15 |
| ersi | Don't be afraid to ask, that's what I've learnt. Worse case, maybe someone sometime frowns - but new people are always welcome. You might want to hang out in #ubuntu-motu and any specific ubuntu team channels (if you know that you want to contribute to a specific area, like server, desktop or so) | 09:16 |
| ersi | (This is a ubuntu team channel as well, by the way) | 09:16 |
| alexanderto | yup, I asked the same questions in all 3 beginners channel lol | 09:17 |
| ersi | Oh, heh :) | 09:17 |
| lifeless | mmm, I'm up too late, obviously | 09:35 |
