snuff (Ubuntu Code of Conduct signed and whatnot,) and that's that.

As I write this I'm downloading the 15.10 daily build for July 3rd, and
hope to help out with testing and bug triage. I'd love to help with
actually creating patches too, but my programming expertise is limited
to Python and C++ with a tad of ARMv6 ASM sprinkled in there somewhere.
If anyone who DOES already work on creating patches is willing, I would
love some pointers as to what to do/look for/learn in order to be able
to help in that manner.

Thanks!


Hey Nathanael, wonderful to hear from you! If you've not seen it, check 
out the Roles page on the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles. It 
will help guide you on activities available to you depending on your 
interest.


Alberto gave you some great advice on patches, I would recommend what he 
said and also point out harvest; http://harvest.ubuntu.com.


BTW Alberto, I liked the live graphs on the wiki, nice touch!

Takes doing simple, and going with the flow.

Which means that the small goal you can achieve today is more important 
than the big goal you can achieve tomorrow.

Although I am not making patches myself right now, there's a good guide 
about how to do that:



And if you want to practice, you can start with papercuts; which are 
fast to fix flaws:
