= Welcome to the Mozilla QA Community Bug Day wiki!! =
Join us on IRC in #bugday every other Tuesday from 8:00am to 2:00pm Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7)to discuss and work on Bugzilla bug topics and get help from the Mozilla QA team.
Bug Days are an excellent way to contribute to Mozilla's QA efforts. It doesn't matter if you've been involved with Mozilla for years or if this is your first step into our amazing open source community. Anyone can participate and be a valuable contributor. We gather together at predetermined times to focus on particular areas in Bugzilla. The exact area or topic for Bug Day will vary each event. But the general idea is to work through some sort of bug list as a team.
