[QGIS-Developer] QGIS Onboarding Day?

[Thomas Baumann]

Hi Raymond,
I won't be at the hackfest this time but I could record a screencast before
the HF so users can try to get the development setup running even before
they arrive.

If I would attend an onboarding session for me it would be very interesting
to watch how an experienced QGIS developer would debug a bug.

regards,
Thomas
