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.
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.
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!)
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.

Good memories!
