Re: [Mesa-dev] Interest in participating in the OPW with X.org

[Brian Paul]

Hi Juliet,

There's definitely work that can be done for Piglit.  For example, 
porting the old Glean tests to piglit's framework.

I suggest we move this conversation to the Piglit mailing list though. 
The list is pig...@lists.freedesktop.org and you can subscribe at 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/piglit

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I'll download and build piglit, take a look at the
various tests written in it and either come up with a project to work
on, or wait for some ideas from mentors to take on as a project. I will
like to know whether any documentation work could be a viable project?

Thanks,
Juliet

    Hi Juliet,

    sorry about the delay, thanks for the email. I don't personally work
    on mesa
    so I'll wait if anyone on the list has a project to propose here.

    One of the best ways to start is to build and run piglit and see if
    anything
    needs fixing. That way you get familiar with the code-base and the
    developers get to know you as well. Having a bit of a reputation from
    sending patches is a good thing to have.

    Cheers,
        Peter
