< SeaMonkey | Bug events
The SeaMonkey Community will hold a Bug event in the days and night preceding Hallowe'en 2011. Witches and wizards, hold your wands and get ready to fight the evil Bugs and their offspring Maggots!
Where?
Channel #bugday on the Mozilla IRC server. How to go there will depend on your IRC server.
- First, connecting to the server
- In ChatZilla, click "moznet" in the list of server names in the *client* tab (which can be opened by /client if you don't see it). In other IRC clients, establish a connection to irc.mozilla.org, either on port 6667 (default) without SSL, or on port 6697 with SSL.
- Second, join the channel
- /join #bugday

If your country or region is not shown in the above table, we hope that you will be able to deduce what time it will be on your clock, by comparison with neighbouring areas and/or by addition to or subtraction from UTC (Universal Time) which is shown in bold type near the first third of the table.
Before you start
- Make sure you have a Bugzilla account (and if you don't yet have one, get one here.
- Install the latest SeaMonkey nightly but not in the same directory as your usual "release" version of SeaMonkey. How to install it varies depending on your OS.
- Notes:
- "Mac" builds are "Universal builds" supporting both 32- and 64-bit Mac computers with Intel processors running Mac OS X 10.5 or later. OS X 10.4 is not supported anymore, and neither are PowerPC computers.
- There are separate "Linux" builds for 32-bit (i686) and 64-bit (x86_64) systems. 32-bit builds can run on 64-bit systems but not vice-versa. The 64-bit builds are still regarded as "experimental" because there are still few testers using them: a chicken-and-egg problem. If you have a 64-bit Linux system, maybe you can help us bytesting the x86_64 Linux build.
- For Windows, only 32-bit builds are available at this time. They ought to run correctly on both 32- and 64-bit Windows computers.
- A full list of hardware and software requirements for Windows, Linux and Mac can be found here.
What?
Finding, triageing and/or resolving bugs.
