Areas of contribution
- Free up developers and maintainers by
- triaging bugs (especially getting bugs forwarded upstream in a timely manner)
answering questions as time permits on #ubuntu-mythtv, #ubuntu-bugs, and in the Ubuntu Forums
- Test upgrades and upcoming releases of Mythbuntu and Ubuntu
- Generating patches for (minor) bug fixes
- Lot of random things over the years. Most recently documenting what it takes to get a Gyration remote working
Goals
- Increase bug fixing ability (and ability to contribute new features back to Mythbuntu, and MythTV [especially Mythweb]), by learning more Python, Perl, and C++
- Become proficient at PPA and other launchpad build related items
- Become less frustrated at how launchpad and loggerhead seem to get in the way and hide things (by learning how they work and hopefully help to improve them)
