Announcing December’s ZF Bug Hunt Days

December 14, 2009

News, Zend Framework

This upcoming Thursday and Friday, 17-18 December 2009, Zend Framework will
host its fourth monthly bug hunt. Each month, the community organizes to
help reduce the number of open issues reported against the framework. Past
events have netted over 100 issue closures over each two-day period; let’s
keep up the momentum!

The rules and rewards are simple: Supply patches or direct commits that
resolve open issues. The individual who resolves or assists in resolving the
most issues during the bug hunt wins a Zend Framework t-shirt!

Why should you be interested?

  • Help improve the overall quality of the code you’re already using
  • Fix issues that have been affecting you
  • Save you and your company time spent managing your own patches to ZF,
    and move the maintenance upstream by patching the framework itself
  • Learn valuable Quality Assurance skills
  • Read for more reasons

If you want to help out, please make sure you have a CLA on file with us,
and then join us in the #zftalk.dev channel on Freenode on Thursday and
Friday. If you would like more information on specifics of participating,
please read our guide in the wiki or Pádraic
Brady’s guide
.

I look forward to meeting you during this month’s Bug Hunt Days!
