[Koha-devel] Forward this to librarians prone to contribute: Monday 26th: patch testing session to help enhancements and bug fixes to be released

[Victor Grousset/tuxayo]

Hi :)

And also come, developers, admins, trainers, etc if you like a dedicated 
time with the community to test patches.

Let's meet at any moment in the following timeframe:
13h-19h UTC / 14h-20h UK/ 9h-15h US East/6h-12h US West
The place is https://visio.chapril.org/koha

Here is a resource about how to test patches using sandboxes:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sandboxes

Modalities:
The idea is to test patches to contribute to Koha. That's one of the 
**easiest and best way** to contribute to Koha. There is a huge need of 
testing to unblock patches and it would make a sizable difference in the 
pace of development of Koha if we reduce this bottleneck.
No need for particular skills, just basic Koha usage.
You can come an leave at any moment, even for a short time it's possible 
to get simple stuff moving forward.
We will use a VoIP call with chat tool to speak and eventually 
screenshare. It's possible to join without sound and only use chat. So 
if you are at the front desk and there are not much patrons you can 
still test patches ^^ And also it's easier if you aren't comfortable 
with oral english.

No need to have a local Koha instance. Just with a web browser we can 
use the sandboxes [1] to have temporary Kohas to test most of patches 
and do whatever we want without bad consequences.

Cheers,
