(02:04:27 PM) qense: Seems alrgith now, lets start
(02:04:34 PM) qense: Hello everyone, I'm Sense Hofstede -- https://launchpad.net/~qense -- and this session will be all about 'adopting a package and being an upstream contact', or Adopt-a-Package and Adopt-an-Upstream.
(02:04:57 PM) qense: Unfortunately Jorge Castro (jcastro) is too busy to attend this session so I'll be doing this alone.
(02:05:20 PM) qense: Lets first explain to you what the project actually is.
(02:05:32 PM) qense: There are different ways of contributing to a distribution. For example, you could cherry-pick the tasks you'd like to work on, or you could choose to focus on a specific subset of the available tasks.
(02:05:49 PM) qense: Everyone has a different approach that works best for her or him. However, you do work more efficiently and effectively when you focus on a clearly bounded area.
