[UWAB] FREE Pizza: Joomla Pizza, Bugs & Fun TOMORROW!!!!
by Sweta 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Georgia Tech has been selected as the official venue for Joomla's Pizza, Bugs, and Fun event, so come join, participate, and enjoy some free food, coding, and fun! Joomla (http://www.joomla.org) who is participating in Google Summer of Code, is sponsoring the event *this Saturday, from 2-4PM,* called "Pizza, Bugs, and Fun" (http://docs.joomla.org/Pizza_Bugs_and_Fun_2) in the *Library East Commons*. It's basically a code fest to address the outstanding issues with the current release, including bug fixes and documentation rollout. Participants can devote as little as an hour or the whole 3 hours. *Participants don't necessarily need to be familiar with the Joomla code base*, just fairly proficient in PHP, though the former is certainly a plus. Also, people are needed for documentation, so *strict coding skills is also not a requisite*. Everybody is encouraged to attend and learn: deep knowledge of the system is not a requirement, since quite a bit of learning goes on during the event. This article ( http://developer.joomla.org/home/26-coordinator-blog/147-the-best-ingredien…) covers all the details necessary. Set-up will take place from 1:30 to 1:45, so that development work can start at 2PM. There will be a team picture taken at 2PM, so don't miss out! Please feel free to forward this message onto people who you think would be interested in participating. If you are interested in participating or want additional information, please contact Shannon Quinn (squinn(a)gatech.edu) We hope to see you there!

Joomla (http://www.joomla.org) who is participating in Google Summer of Code, is sponsoring an event during the next two weekends called "Pizza, Bugs, and Fun." (http://docs.joomla.org/Pizza_Bugs_and_Fun_2) It's basically a code fest to address the outstanding issues with the current release, including bug fixes and documentation rollout. Participants can devote an hour, or entire weekends. The gist is that, with enough interest, GT would become a official "venue" for the event, a central location that anyone in the area interested in joining can meet and participate. * Participants don't necessarily need to be familiar with the Joomla code base *, just fairly proficient in PHP, though the former is certainly a plus. Also, people are needed for documentation, so *strict coding skills is also not a requisite*. If you are interested in participating, please contact Shannon Quinn ( squinn(a)gatech.edu) We hope to see you there!

One position is for someone interested in graphic design, flash, CSS and html. The other would be for someone interested in databases, .net, asp and other technologies. Candidates for both positions need to be willing to learn new technologies and work in a team environment. Please send me your resume if you are interested. My email is whitlow.jennifer(a)gatech.edu.
