Discussion and Roadmap
Developer Session / Bug Squashing Party
Join us for a hands-on Bug Squashing Party focused on the Sardana GitLab repository! This collaborative session is dedicated to improving the codebase by tackling open issues, reviewing merge requests, and sharing knowledge among contributors.
During the session, we suggest:
- Investigate and fix bugs from the GitLab issue tracker
- Test and validate reported problems
- Review and clean up open merge requests
- Work on small enhancements or improvements
- Get help with setting up the development environment and contributing
In addition to bug fixing, developers are welcome to work on new feature development if they have something in progress or want to start a new contribution. We'll organize tasks by complexity and priority, making it easy for everyone to get involved, whether you're an experienced contributor or just getting started. Pair programming is encouraged!
