%%FreeBSD%% has a way for users to submit [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/query.cgi|Problem Reports]].  This page gives an introduction to what happens next.  (If you're not familiar with how to write a good Problem Report, please [[http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/|start here]].)

There is also a good, although slightly out-of-date, reference on how we expect %%FreeBSD%% committers to
[[http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pr-guidelines/|handle PRs]].

Note: we are still learning as we are going!

==== Places To Start ====

  * [[BugBusting/Resources]]

If you are unfamiliar with bugbusting on %%FreeBSD%%, this is where you should start; in particular, the Web Resources section.  (Yes, there is a lot of detail on that page; you may wish to simply browse it.)

  * [[Bugathons]]

Bugathons are events where we get people to join us on IRC on #freebsd-bugbusters on EFNet at a specific time.  We try to go through the current PRs and close as many of them as we can.  Watching one of these in progress is a good way to learn how we approach things.

  * [[BugBusting/HowToHelp]]

This suggests some ideas on how you can help.  It includes information for both committers and non-committers.

  * [[BugBusting/Volunteers]]

This is our sign-up list for the Bugathons (and bugbusting in general).  It tries to be a central place to find out who is active and what their interests and expertise are.  Feel free to send information to linimon@%%FreeBSD%%.org if you would like to join us.

Some commentary on dealing with PRs that have been flagged as having patches in them.
