* Case Study - Debugging Webmaker.org Events Crash
** We've been trying to fix a really bad crash for the past week - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=914904
** Open Source relies on History
*** Issues, Bugs (why we did what we did, who reviewed it)
*** Source Code Revision History (what we did, who did it, when it was done)
** Often fixing things requires knowing the past more than digging into the code itself
*** [https://github.com/mozilla/webmaker-events mozilla/webmaker-events] repo
*** [https://github.com/mozilla/webmaker.org mozilla/webmaker.org] repo
** Archaeology
*** Compare View (what changed between two shipped versions of the app?) https://github.com/mozilla/webmaker.org/compare/v0.0.140...v0.0.142 (notice the syntax /compare/[revA]...[revB]
*** When, where did we move webmaker-events into webmaker.org? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=912241
*** The code that landed (i.e., got checked in) on Sept 4th: https://github.com/mozilla/webmaker.org/commit/c9951521b5fb9113b3e46cbbb87125bc60b22f81
*** Something looks wrong in this code: using Blame to figure out who did what, when: https://github.com/mozilla/webmaker-events/blame/master/controllers/events.js
*** We're missing some code! https://github.com/mozilla/webmaker-events/commit/4c971c81f619c0fc63946f4380ca9a384d9633cc
*** Let's fix things, we need a new bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=916839
 
== Release 0.1 ==
 
* Everything you need for your first release:
** A blog post titled "Release 0.1" which includes a write-up of what you did, your results, links to resources and material/code/commits/bugs/etc you have created.
** If you've tried something and failed, please document that too (failing to get something going on the first try isn't the same as failing in general).
** If you have finished a code change, make sure you get it into a bug and ask for review
** An actual release of one form or another. That is, code in github or the like. You need to have something to show.
** Due: Friday Sept 27th, but will be accepted until Monday Sept 30th without penalty.
