-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's a bug bash? It's an hour of your time, spent with your peers, working to find bugs in OAE. Simply, we get a bunch of people together at one time to bash the product around. We'll have a common server to log onto, an IRC session to that we can use to communicate, and the goal is to log as many Jiras as possible. Please make it a priority to attend and contribute - for the project team, this takes priority over all other project work.

Prep
You'll need the following before the bash:
1. Your favorite browser and an internet connection.
2. An account on Jira so that you can log bugs. Most people should have this already. Jira instructions below if you need them.
3. Ability to log onto IRC. We'll taking over the developer channel for this hour: #sakai on irc.freenode.net<http://irc.freenode.net/>. IRC instructions below if you need them.
*****4. Clear your browser cache.*****

Server
Log on here http://qa20-us.sakaiproject.org:8080/.

What to Look For
Anything is fair game, but try to do the following items:

1. Find contacts and communicate with them.
2. Create groups and pages, add content, and share with contacts.
3. Add widgets/goodies to your pages.
4. Update your profile information.
5. Find a buddy and test permissions on content.
