Hi Christina - thanks for coming along today - I hope it was useful.

There's good instructions on the Wiki on how to review patches:

https://libreplanet.org/wiki?title=Group:Guix/PatchReviewSessions2024

I would love feedback on how to improve them!

There's plenty of patches to review, I've been keeping a list of them for the patch review calls:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=patch-review-hackers-list;users=guix

And the wiki page references some other reports.

Please pick some patches and have a go - if you want someone else to look at them feel free to ping here or on IRC!

Thanks,

Steve / Futurile
