1# Linux Development 2 3*** promo 4Please join us on IRC for the most up-to-date development discussion: 5`irc.freenode.net`, `#chromium`. 6*** 7 8## Checkout and Build 9 10See the [Linux build instructions](build_instructions.md). 11 12## What Needs Work 13 14Look at the Chromium bug tracker for 15[open Linux issues](http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=os%3Alinux). 16 17Issues marked "Available" are ready for someone to claim. To claim an issue, add 18a comment and then a project member will mark it "Assigned". If none of the 19"Available" issues seem appropriate, you may be able to help an already claimed 20("Assigned" or "Started") issue, but you'll probably want to coordinate with the 21claimants, to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort. 22 23Issues marked with HelpWanted are a good place to start. 24 25### New Bugs 26 27If you think you have discovered a new Linux bug, start by 28[searching for similar issues](http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?can=1&q=Linux). 29When you search, make sure you choose the "All Issues" option, since your bug 30might have already been fixed, but the default search only looks for open 31issues. If you can't find a related bug, please create a 32[New Issue](https://crbug.com/new). Use the linux defect template. 33 34## Contributing code 35 36See [Contributing code](../contributing.md). 37 38## Debugging 39 40See [Linux debugging](debugging.md). 41 42## Documents 43 44[Linux Graphics Pipeline](graphics_pipeline.md) 45
