This is such a great question, thank you for posting it on the mailing list. I think attending GUADEC is one of the best ways to familiarize yourself with the platform, but also be able to meet the maintainers and get to know them at a personal level. This then gets reflected in bug reports that you might file later. This is also your opportunity to tell platform developers your needs as a developer. For instance, perhaps there is a gap that is missing in one of the libraries. If you can formulate a good argument for inclusion they could work with you on creating that feature. Resources are tight, so it's important that you are able to communicate that such a feature will improve the platform. But that is a discussion best done in person than say over a bug report or on a mailing list. I hope that you will consider attending!
