Georgia Tech has been selected as the official venue for Joomla's
Pizza, Bugs, and Fun event, so come join, participate, and enjoy some
free food, coding, and fun!
Joomla (http://www.joomla.org),
who is participating in Google Summer of Code, is sponsoring the event
this Saturday, from 2-4PM, called "Pizza, Bugs, and Fun" (http://docs.joomla.org/Pizza_Bugs_and_Fun_2)
in the Library East Commons.
It's basically a code fest to address the outstanding issues with the
current release, including bug fixes and documentation rollout.
Participants can devote as little as an hour or the whole 3 hours. Participants don't necessarily need to be familiar with the Joomla code base, just fairly proficient in PHP, though the former is certainly a plus. Also, people are needed for documentation, so strict coding skills is also not a requisite.
Everybody is encouraged to attend and learn: deep knowledge of the
system is not a requirement, since quite a bit of learning goes on
during the event. This article (http://developer.joomla.org/home/26-coordinator-blog/147-the-best-ingredients-for-a-nice-pizza.html)
covers
all the details necessary. Set-up will take place from 1:30 to 1:45, so
that development work can start at 2PM. There will be a team picture
taken at 2PM, so don't miss out!
Please feel free to forward this message onto people who you think
would be interested in participating. If you are interested in
participating or want additional information, please contact Shannon
Quinn (squinn@gatech.edu). We hope to see you there!
