If you have not used IRC before, please go through this short tutorial on installing and using an IRC client: https://openhatch.org/wiki/Open_Source_Comes_to_Campus/UMD/Laptop_setup#Goal_.233:_install_an_IRC_client
Before you submit a patch, here are some of the tools we use that you may want to review or practice:

Please familiarize yourself with how Twisted uses Trac by exploring the reports from this link: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/report * IRC
* bug trackers
* the mercurial (hg) revision control system
* the diff and patch utilities
Line 46: Line 45:
With sufficient exploration you should be able to answer the following questions (you don't have to tell me the answers, just make sure you know how to find them): === IRC ===
Line 48: Line 47:
What is the oldest open Twisted ticket?
How many tickets are currently waiting on review? How do we denote tickets waiting on a review (hint: look at the keyword)
Using the custom query page at http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/query, find out how many open tickets we have that have the "documentation" keyword.
IRC is a real-time group chat system popular with many open source projects. Developers ask questions and discuss patches on IRC, and users also ask questions on IRC.

Learn more about how Python uses IRC here: http://www.python.org/community/irc/.

There are 3 main Python IRC channels, all on the Freenode IRC network, that you may be interested in:

1. <tt>#python-dev</tt>: for discussing the development of Python itself
1. <tt>#python</tt>: for asking and answering general Python questions
1. <tt>#pyladies</tt>: the main PyLadies IRC channel


=== Bug trackers ===

Python tracks bugs and features at http://bugs.python.org/.

Please familiarize yourself with how Python uses its bug tracker by exploring and finding answers to the following questions:

1. What is the oldest open Python ticket?
1. How many open issues need a patch?
1. How many "critical"-level open issues are there?

Also have a look at the Python bugs tagged as particularly good for new contributors: http://bugs.python.org/issue?status=1&@sort=-activity&@columns=id,activity,title,creator,status&@dispname=Easy%20issues&@startwith=0&@group=priority&keywords=6&@action=search&@filter=&@pagesize=50&priority=2

If you have any questions while going through this material, don't hesitate to ask for help in #twisted on IRC or on the twisted-python mailing list. If you have not used diff and patch before, please go through the diff and patch training mission at:
Line 57: Line 78:
Once you've gone through this material, the next steps will be to:

Meet up on IRC (stop by the #twisted channel)
Check out and explore the Twisted source code
Read a few parts of the Twisted core documentation and run some example Twisted scripts
Run the Twisted test suite - cd into the checkout folder and run "bin/trial twisted".
And then you'll be in great shape to start working on your first Twisted ticket. We'll suggest a first ticket when you get in touch over email; you'd want to fix it in your Twisted svn checkout, run svn diff, upload the resulting patch to the ticket and then add the "review" keyword to the ticket. This process is described in detail here: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedDevelopment#SubmittingaPatch
