As Matt said, the priorities are: * check if a ticket is still valid on trunk * reduce the ticket to an as small as possible code snippet reproducing the problem * then you can optionally fix it, but this is way less important than the first two steps :)
Also, there are bound to come up lots of extra things to discuss during the day in the IRC channel. So please do not shy away from taking part, know that I am amongst the people that have the same ‘problem’ of not being fluent in hacking the core of MacRuby too! :) Eloy On Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 6:03 PM, Matt Aimonetti <mattaimone...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think the critical aspect of this event is to reduce and triage bugs. > Just confirming bugs and finding reductions would save hours of work fir the > entire team. > > Something we could do is to split the tickets among the online people and go > one by one, confirm the bug against trunk, see if it is as reduced as > possible and submit a reduction otherwise.
