+Fixing easy bugs is an excellent method to start contributing patches to
+Gluster.
+
+- Bugs which are marked with EasyFix flag can be found from below
+ BugZilla query.
+ - [Bugzilla Query For EasyFix
+ Bugs](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&keywords=EasyFix&list_id=2626252&product=GlusterFS)
+ - [RSS-feed for EasyFix Gluster Bugs](http://goo.gl/OpQwlv)
+- To fix EasyFix bugs,
+ - When you pick an EasyFix you want to work on, assign it to
+ yourself and move it to ASSIGNED
+ - Check
+ [Bug report life cycle](./Bug report Life Cycle.md) and
+ follow it.
+ - Check Developers page for details about development workflow,
+ GlusterFS design documents etc.
+
+Sometimes an *Easy Fix* bug has a patch attached. In those cases,
+the *Patch* keyword has been added to the bug. These bugs can be
+used by new contributors that would like to verify their workflow. [Bug
+1099645](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1099645) is one example of those.
+
+### Guidelines for new comers
+
+- While trying to write a patch, do not hesitate to ask questions.
+- If something in the documentation is unclear, we do need to know so
+ that we can improve it.
+- There are no stupid questions, and it's more stupid to not ask
+ questions that others can easily answer. Always assume that if you
+ have a question, someone else would like to hear the answer too.
+
+[Reach out](http://gluster.org/community/index.html) to the developers
+in \#gluster or \#gluster-dev on Freenode IRC, or on one of the mailing
+lists, try to keep the discussions public so that anyone can learn from
+it.
