Michael Dorrington, Bug reporting – 17th November

Monday, November 16th, 2009

This month’s talk will be given by Michael Dorrington from Manchester Free Software.

Bugs are a part of software, even free software. Their removal is essential in making free software better but first they need to be reported.

Michael will be explaining about bug reporting from his experiences. The purpose of the talk is to get people reporting more free software bugs and making those reports good reports. The talk will be accessible to non-technical people.

Michael has been using GNU/Linux for many years, has submitted some bugs in that time and is currently Chairperson of Manchester Free Software.

The meeting will take place at the usual time, 7pm, at the Lass O’Gowrie pub on Charles Street in Central Manchester. We will be located in the Salmon Room upstairs, although there will be people around a little earlier downstairs(probably sampling the food and drinks on offer). Just ask at the bar if you can’t find us. The Lass website has full details of how to get there and the fine selection of food and drink available. The venue also provides wifi.

If you would like five minutes to tell us about something, please contact us.
