This Week In Refactoring

Contributing to open source is great for your career. In a few short hours, you can learn, teach, promote your skills, and improve the quality of the community. In this talk, we will show you how, by doing it.

  • build and run tests
  • use rcov and code review to find some problem areas
  • refactor some code
  • create and submit a patch

Past "This Week in Refactoring" installments have contributed the following code to the community:
