Interested in contributing to Puppet? Want to come hang out with fun people and do geeky things all day? Come to our Triage-A-Thon on Saturday, July 13!

Anyone can participate. We need technical people who are interested in submitting patches to fix small bugs or triage more technical issues, but people who aren't technical can also help triage bugs! If you want a few more details about how you can help, you should read about the process we use to triage bugs.

Our goal is to review all the open tickets in the Puppet and Module projects to:

• Update and confirm that issues are still relevant
• Ensure tickets are in the right status and all the right information is present to fix the problem
• Close any invalid or no longer relevant tickets

We’ll assign blocks of tickets to every participant, explain what you need to do, and provide people on the ground to answer questions and help you make decisions.

We’ll also provide bagels, a delicious lunch, snacks and space in our Portland, OR offices. Virtually we’ll provide an IRC channel (#puppethack), IM, and rewards for people who triage tickets and get involved. The first 200 people who help for at least 2 hours will be sent a special edition Puppet Triage-a-Thon 2013 t-shirt, and we'll have additional prizes for top participants!

All attendees and participants at Puppet Labs events should adhere to our Community Guidelines and Event Code of Conduct.
