BugQuash – One of the Coolest Flex Events Ever
On Saturday I hung out a while at the BugQuash (be sure to check out the intro video) event in Seattle. For those that hadn’t heard, the bug quash was meant to get people up to speed on how to submit patches to the Flex SDK and then get some bugs fixed. It was one of the coolest Flex events I’ve been involved in. And I’ll also add, as someone who has officially contributed code to the Flex Framework, submitting patches is an intoxicating experience. It’s also incredibly easy. I’m hoping to do a screencast to tell people how to get up and running so they can submit patches.
I sat down with Marty and Nate to talk about the event and get their thoughts. I think everyone had a great time so thanks to those two as well as Leif and Stacy for helping put it on. And I’m glad Seattle got to be first. Here are a rundown of the stats:
- 57 patches submitted (versus a total of 111 before this)
- 21 accepted patches
- 4 Not a Bugs flagged

I was working on a clients app during the quash *sigh* but stayed tuned in to watch. It was a great event and can see it getting cooler in events to come. From the comments I read it seems the best way to become familiar with the FlexSDK, and talk to people who make the SDK for a living.
