A great place to start is to read the documentation on setting up a local test environment in our [https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering:Contribute Contributor wiki], give it a try and see if you can set up a local master & buildslave instance. If you have any problems, come chat and ask questions in the #build channel on IRC. Having a local master/builder instance will go a long way towards fixing many Release Engineering bugs. We also can provide data dumps of our scheduler and status databases if you're someone who's interested in playing with data and creating dashboards/APIs/and visualizations. | ||
