All software contains small errors ("bugs"). Joomla is no exception. To solve these errors small improvements ("patches") are created and released.
Before those improvements will be added to the Joomla source code, they need to be tested. Testing those bugs and patches in a team can be much fun ("fun"). And you won't need any programming skills.
Anyone with a little Joomla experience can help with testing bugs and patches!
In this session, Peter describes how he got enthousiastic about Bugs, Patches & Fun, and shows how the process of solving software failures in Joomla works. And how you can help to improve the Joomla source code without programming knowledge.
