What you need to know before contributing to WordPress

This talk is for those who haven’t contributed to WordPress or would like a refresher.  I’ll talk about resources that have been made available to all of us including the Core Contributors Handbook, Make/Core, Trac, SVN or Git Repositories, Local Dev Environments, #wordpress-dev, wp-hackers, and wp-svn and how they all fit together.  I plan to submit a patch to a Trac ticket during the talk.
