The Next BugMash event - January 16th-17th, 2010

Mark you calendars! The next BugMash goes down on January 16th and 17th of the new year.

Mark you calendars! The next BugMash goes down on January 16th and 17th of the new year. The BugMash team is hoping to roll out a number of exciting improvements to the event to bring in the new year right!

What’s a BugMash? BugMash events where all are welcome to contribute to Rails core. Everyone comes together to mash bugs found in the Rails Core Issue Tracker

Participants can help in 4 ways:

• Confirm that the bug can be reproduced
• If it can’t be reproduced, try to figure out what information would make it possible to reproduced
• If it can be reproduced, add the missing pieces: better repro instructions, a failing patch, and/or a patch that applies cleanly to the current Rails source
• Bring promising tickets to the attention of the Core team

All are welcome to participate. Even if you’re new to Rails, you can lend a helping hand and learn some cool things, too. We hope to have you as part of the fun!
