Today fifth monthly Zend Framework Bug Hunting Days have begun. For those of you unfamiliar with the event, each month ZF team organizes the community to help reduce the number of open issues reported against the framework. If you want to participate, please read guide in the wiki and join #zftalk.dev channel at Freenode.
Matthew Weier O’Phinney announced on Zend Developer Zone December’s Zend Framework Bug Hunt Days. As planned, Bug Hunt Days will take place on Thursday and Friday, 17-18 December 2009.
Everyone is welcome, but to participate you have to sign and send CLA. More details about the event and how to contribute can be found in announcement and wiki.
Yesterday Matthew Weier O’Phinney published results of November’s ZF Bug Hunt Days. As you already know there have been over 120 bugs fixed, thanks to more than 25 contributors. Second time in the row Pádraic Brady was the one who fixed most issues, but since he won Bug Hunt Days last time, the prize goes to Mickael Perraud and Thomas Weidner
Next Bug Hunt Days are planned on the 17th and 18th of December.
November’s Bug Hunt Days are over. More than 100 bugs were fixed. Fixing that many bugs wouldn’t be fixed without excellent guide about participating in Bug Hunt Days written by Padraic Brady.
Many Zend Framework users fail to realise that the Zend team is comprised of about three individuals. Three people cannot address 1600 issues this side of the 22nd Century and it’s totally unfair to complain about the issue count in this light. They need assistance. They need people to fill in for former component lead developers, inactive developers, and developers who are mysteriously missing in action. But mainly they need more eyes and keyboards to clear issues.
Bug Hunt Day’s goal is to help Zend Framework’s team in fixing as many issues as possible during the event. It is great opportunity for those who want to help developing the framework but can not do it on regular basis. Because such people usually don’t know where to start, whom to ask, how to use provided tools or simply commit the code, Padraic’s guide should be first thing to read before participating in Bug Hunt. Check it out and see that participating in Bug Hunt Days is not that hard.
