Hi :) These bug-hunting sessions can be a great fun. It's only for a short time-period so you can find yourself racing against other people who are also new to it all. Even if you know nothing about how to do it there are experienced people on-hand to help. If you don't know coding then that can even be an advantage because you avoid getting embroiled in 'interesting' details.
Sometimes these competitions have led to prizes, such as netbooks and things. Bodhi Linux have such awarded a a few people netboks as top prizes. The QA team here did the same around a year ago. I think this time there isn't a prize but it's a good time to get in some practice. Good luck all!
