> -----------------------
> 
> 	GNOME love day is a project to try to get developers become GNOME
> hackers. There are lot of developers around who want to get involved into
> GNOME development but they don't know how to do it. The idea of GNOME love day
> is to get these developers joining #gnome-love on irc.gnome.org as well as
> some current GNOME hackers, all together.
> 
> 	Hackers should propose these developers an easy-fix to any of the 
> modules they know well, and should guide them on fixing it. Of course, 
> for a hacker, looking for an easy-fix (maybe a bugzilla bug), figuring how 
> to fix it and explaining another one how to do it will be a bit longer 
> than just fixing it himself, but the point here is to teach. After some time
> and luck, we will get these people fixing things and doing real GNOME hacking.
> 
> 	Also hackers will become mentors/trainers of new developers, answering
> them on IRC, email, and gnome-love list.

> When?
> -----
> 	First GNOME love day will take place Tuesday 2nd March, on #gnome-love
> from 8:30AM EST to 8:30PMEST that's 13:30UTC->01:30UTC on irc.gnome.org IRC
> network.

> What do you need to join GNOME love?
> ------------------------------------
> 
> 	You will need to have some programming ability (mostly C programming)
> in order to begin to hack on GNOME core. GTK+ knowledge is not requiered, but
> If you want to begin hacking on GNOME, these readings are recommended:
>

> 	http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-gnome2.html?ca=dgr-lnxwb01GNOME2-Part1
> 
> 	You will also need GNOME source code and a build system:
> 
> 		http://www.gnome.org/%7Ejdub/garnome/
> 		http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/jhbuild/README
> 
> 	Also subscripting to gnome-love mailing list is recommended:
> 
> 		http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love
> 
> 
> In the other side, if you already are a GNOME hacker, and you want new hackers 
> in the GNOME project, and you want to feel the love, prepare an easy-fix list,
> or just come Tuesday to #gnome-love
> 
> 	Thanks in advance!
