Some people have asked us for the BugQuash Pre-Event Kit.  In case you haven't gotten it yet, here's it is.  This has a ton of great information to teach you how to fix bugs in the Flex SDK.  I suggest saving this file.

Quite a few people have asked this question.

This first BugQuash will have more of a focus on learning. The goal is for everyone in the community to know how to make changes to the Flex SDK, submit patches and ultimately make a better SDK for all of us to work with. Right now there are only a handful of people that are actually submitting patches, which is why we need to focus on getting everyone up to speed on HOW to fix the bugs in the Flex SDK.

You’re certainly not going to be the only one who feels like they have less than expert skills at the event. Much of this event is designed for you, to teach you these skills.

You’ll be able shadow teams working on problems and have your questions answered. If you don’t walk away from this event with a deeper knowledge of the Flex SDK (unless of course you’re already baller status), then we haven’t done our job properly.

For more encouragement, read Nate's blog post. 

• Fixing bugs in the Open Source Flex SDK is good for everyone.
• Learn the deeper side of the Flex SDK.
• Get to know other people in the community.
• Fun social event.
• Feel like a ninja.
• Networking opportunities.

Bug Quashes are fast paced, high energy events. With food and drinks, good music, lots of code and breaking things. Good times to be had.
