Coding Day Activities

Coding Day

On Tuesday July 29th, we'll be having a day of code to get release 1.6.0 ready to go. If you want to help, hop on our IRC channel (#mixxx on Freenode) and we'll get you involved.

There's tons of stuff to do, here's a list:

• Coding/Bug fixing obviously needs doing, visit the launchpad tracker and talk to the developers
• Testing will be needed at various points on various platforms throughout the day
• Documentation needs plenty of work
• Especially the manual could use a lot of work
• New website design is in progress, anyone with useful php/javascript/jquery skills should talk to asantoni (IRC)
• Could use some new high quality skins if there are any designers out there

Available Non-Coding Tasks:

• Test Serato CD support. Got a CDJ? Have a CD discman or anything that plays CDs? Download the Serato CD wave, burn it to a CD, and test to see if you can control Mixxx via your CDJ or discman.
• The wave can be downloaded here:http://rane.com/scratchlivecontrol.zip
• Report your findings on IRC and here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/186341
• Create the massive 1.6.0 changelog. Go through the Mixxx Blog archives, and find the release announcements for 1.6.0 beta 1, 2, 3, and 4. A changelog was included with each release - copy and paste the changelog bullets from each announcement into one gigantic document. Email that to someone on IRC.
