BUGS & FUN AT HOME

Bugs and Fun @home was an event run during the pandemic where Joomla enthusiasts were meeting online to improve Joomla. This is not only for improving the code of Joomla but also the documentation and translation. It was an online event for everybody to come, have fun and meet fellow Joomlers.

The idea behind organizing Bugs and Fun @home events is to achieve these goals:

Reduce the number of open issues
Get Joomla tested on different environments
Get more people interested in testing issues at home
Meet fellow Joomlers online
Have fun and learn in a friendly environment

Origin

The idea for Bugs & Fun @home came about when most of Europe was in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. It came out of a discussion in a Production team meeting. The first incarnation was Pizza Bugs & Fun without the Pizza And the first online meeting Saturday 4th April. It is held weekly every Saturday. It's name was changed to Bugs & Fun @Home. Details were on a spreadsheet until this article was written.

What's next?

The are looking at several activities to reinvigorate the community. If you are interested in sharing ideas, reach out on Mattermost or contact the VET.

Getting Started

Find Out More

If you're just looking to get started and want to find out more about whether you can contribute, the short answer is yes!

There's plenty of tasks needing to be done by people with many skills and interests - it's not all just patch testing, and we don't expect everyone to walk in the door, turn on beastmode and clear the queue!

There's many ways to contribute to Joomla, and most are self-paced. Visit https://joomla.org/contribute-to-joomla.html/ for more information.

Tools To Use

There's some other tools to use to get involved as a Bug Tester for Joomla, as well as if you're looking to get involved in the Joomla project overall. The links below take you to pages on JDOCs that will help you get started.

[Mattermost|Mattermost] is the communication tool used by the Joomla Project.
GitHub is the tool Joomla uses for managing the code for the CMS, and a login to GitHub also allows you to use the Issues Tracker.
Joomla Documentation Wiki is where all of the Joomla Help documents are created and managed, and to help with documentation, create an account there and you can then help with updating Joomla's help.
Crowdin is the translation management tool all of Joomla's official language packs are managed in. Creating an account there will allow you to help with contributing to translations in your own language.

Bugs & Fun Activities List

When BF@H was in full swing, various activities were collated to focus on.

The types of activity are split into three levels - Explorer, Adventurer and Conqueror. You can access the current list of tasks being looked at in this Google Sheet.

Explorer

Writing, reviewing, updating and improving current documents.
Translating documents into different languages.

The full list is currently on this sheet Explorer tab

Adventurer

Testing patches

This is where we test patches and using the chat feature provided on every Bugs & Fun @Home we can check with others online for help in conducting the tests and collaborate with others to get the second tester needed to fulfil the testing requirements. At the moment it is still in this spreadsheet tab Adventurer tab We are looking to move this to tags in GitHub

Accessibility

Release Blockers

https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/labels/Release%20Blocker

Conqueror

Creating pull requests

This is where you are encouraged to make your own pull requests. Others can then help to test the pull request and if it passes it may make it into the core of Joomla. The list is currently held on this spreadsheet Conqueror tab

Resources

The following resources are available to help you to get the various jobs done.
