[09:02] <alexanderto> hi, anyone around, I'm new here, need answers to some quick questions
[09:03] <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?
[09:04] <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
[09:12] <ersi> alexanderto: Hold on a few seconds and I'll fetch you a nice short article from dholbach
[09:12] <alexanderto> thanks ersi
[09:13] <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
[09:14] <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 ;)
[09:15] <alexanderto> yeah, I just joined, no clue how it works here
[09:16] <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)
[09:17] <alexanderto> yup, I asked the same questions in all 3 beginners channel lol
[09:17] <ersi> Oh, heh :)
[09:35] <lifeless> mmm, I'm up too late, obviously
