Ah, Bugzilla!<p>Fun story: Whilst at The Ohio State University, I was looking for something to do over the summer. Some days were spent driving, and some were spent manning the UNIX Consulting desk in the computer lab. I needed something to pass my time in the latter case.<p>I had just taken a 1-quarter course in Perl, and so started looking around in that area. I forget exactly how I chose to work on Bugzilla, but that’s what I did.<p>It was mailing lists, IRC, the Landfill, and our own area of b.m.o. I puttered around, doing some small things and being an annoying college kid. (Hi Frédéric!)<p>Thanks to that work, Joel reached out to me. He was looking for someone to take over the Bugzilla install that was being used for internal development and external/customer support at Mindspeed. That’s what brought me out to SoCal, where is remained until the company’s collapse and acquisition.<p>Good memories!
