Don't worry if this doesn't feel fully digested yet! The process will become clearer with practice.
== Goal #3:
It's time to pick a Python bug to work on! Visit http://bugs.python.org/ and browse for one that looks good.
It's a bit of an art to determine if a bug is good for a new contributor, so here are some suggestions:
First, the developer guide suggests 2 good areas for first-time contributors:
# Documentation: http://docs.python.org/devguide/docquality.html
# Test coverage: http://docs.python.org/devguide/coverage.html
If those sound interesting to you, look for issues in those areas.
Next, for the office hours on Sunday, March 9th, we'll have a list of beginner-friendly bugs. Check back in here on Sunday to review that list.
Finally, you can always ask for help or suggestions on the core-mentorship mailing list or in the <tt>#pyladies</tt> IRC channel.
== Goal #4: submit a patch for a Python bug ==
