Building blocks of development: the process of identifying, reporting and fixing bugs

This workshop will start by introducing the types of bugs one can find in a plugin and later move to how to identify, report them and how to fix them. For the rest of the workshop participants will work on a modified version of a well known plugin to apply the principals discussed. The identified bugs will then be reported to a repo on GitHub and there will also be time for users to submit pull requests to fix these bugs.

Many of the core WordPress projects today start out onGitHub before they are eventually merged in. Making users aware of these and also helping them to contribute here will aid them in getting involved int he WP community.
