Summary: Volunteer contributors are important for any project, but especially for those with great ambitions and limited development resources. The goal of this session is to spark the interest of potential contributors in SUMO development and to make it easy for them to provide their first patch. The session will feature a quick overview of the Kitsune (SUMO software) roadmap for the next 12 month, and an interactive session about "how to contribute to Kitsune development". Together with the attendees we'll set up a dev environment for Kitsune and walk through the process of contributing a patch.

How your session furthers the MozCamp Goals (https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCampEU2012/Tracks): Support is needed for all three of our main products and is used to grow Mozilla. Improving the platform for the support effort will therefore benefit each of the mentioned areas.

Expected Outcome or Deliverable: Potential contributors who know where we are heading with the support platform, and who are now able to provide patches and features for the Kitsune platform.

Desired Audience Type or Skill-set: Web developers of any skill set (Python, HTML, JS)

Equipment Needs (Video projector already included): nothing else
