For those who haven't put the reoccurring event in their calendar, this
announcement is for you: Zend Framework Monthly Bug-hunt is here again!
This *Thursday*, *Friday* and *Saturday* of November (the 18th, 19th and
20th 2010), we'll be hosting our monthly bug hunt. For those of you
unfamiliar with the event, each month, we organize the community to help
reduce the number of open issues reported against the framework.
This is an important bug-hunt for us. As you might be aware, we released
our final minor point release in the past month: Zend Framework 1.11
(and ZF 1.11.x README). This means that this branch will be the final
release branch of the 1.x series. So help us make this release branch
rock solid by closing as many issues as we can in this up-coming bug-hunt!
All in all, bug hunt days have helped us close 100's of issues in Zend
Framework since their inception. These bug hunts have proved vital to
keeping up the bug squashing momentum in this project. So, whether they
are big bugs or small bugs, remember this: all bugs worthy of being
squashed.
Not convinced you should join in yet? Here are some more reasons:
* Improve your coding skillz by being around some of PHP's top
developers in #zftalk.dev while hunting for bugs.
* Win *THE* Zend Framework t-shirt -- the individual who resolves or
assists in resolving the most issues wins a Zend Framework t-shirt!
(This is the same t-shirt so many people were asking for at ZendCon 2010
worn by Matthew and Ralph during the ZF2 live talk.)
* 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.
* All the cool kids are doing it. Are you cool?
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,
Friday, & Saturday. If you would like more information on specifics of
participating, read our guide.
Looking forward to seeing you at this month's Bug Hunt Days!
Cheers!
Ralph Schindler
