Every week (unless otherwise noted) the jQuery UI team has a meeting to discuss the progress of current work and to bring forward possible new blockers for discussion. The meeting is held on [IRC](http://irc.jquery.org) in the #jquery-meeting channel at [Noon EST](http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=1&day=17&year=2011&hour=12&min=0&sec=0&p1=43) on Wednesdays. Meeting notes are posted on http://meetings.jquery.org/category/ui/ after each meeting.
## Tips For Bug Patching
## Tips for Getting Started
### Environment: localhost w/ PHP, Node.js & Grunt
### Environment: Minimum Required
jQuery UI uses Node.js & Grunt to automate the building and validation of source code.
Some tests depend on PHP running locally, so make sure you have the following installed:
* A web server with PHP support (any will do, such as [XAMPP](http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) or [MAMP](http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html))
* [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) (includes NPM, necessary for the next step)
* Grunt (install with: `npm install -g grunt`)
### Build a Local Copy of jQuery UI
Create a fork of the jQuery UI repo on GitHub at http://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui.
Change directory to your web root directory, whatever that might be:
If you are contributing changes you will need a fork of jquery-ui (see [Getting the Source](#environment-getting-the-source)). If you just want the source code you could clone jquery-ui directly:
```bash
$ cd /path/to/your/www/root/
git clone git://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui.git
cd jquery-ui
```
Clone your jQuery UI fork to work locally.
The tests can run in any local web server. Ideally you should test your patch in appropriate web browsers and if possible run `grunt` to lint the code and run automated tests (this will happen automatically when you create a pull request). See the [Recommended Setup](#environment-recommended-setup) for setting up Node.js so that the grunt command works.
### Environment: Getting the Source
* Create a fork of the jQuery UI repo on GitHub at http://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui. This will create a fork of jquery-ui in your Github account.
* You may want to clone jquery-ui under the path to your web server. If so, change to the required directory
```bash
cd /path/to/your/www/root/
```
* Clone your jQuery UI git repo.
```bash
git clone git://github.com/[USERNAME]/jquery-ui.git
cd jquery-ui
```
*Note: be sure to replace `[USERNAME]` with your GitHub username.*
```bash
$ git clone git@github.com:[USERNAME]/jquery-ui.git
```
Change to the newly created directory.
* Add the official jQuery repository as a remote. We recommend naming it "upstream".
```bash
$ cd jquery-ui
git remote add upstream git://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui.git
```
Add the official jQuery repository as a remote. We recommend naming it "upstream".
* Get in the habit of pulling in the "upstream" master to stay up to date as jQuery UI receives new commits.
```bash
$ git remote add upstream git://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui.git
git pull upstream master
```
Get in the habit of pulling in the "upstream" master to stay up to date as jQuery UI receives new commits.
### Environment: Recommended Setup
jQuery UI uses Node.js & Grunt to automate the building and validation of source code. Here is how to set that up:
* Get [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) (includes NPM, necessary for the next step)
* Install Grunt cli:
```bash
$ git pull upstream master
npm install -g grunt-cli
```
Install the dependencies.
* Install local Node.js modules
```bash
npm install
```
The tests require a local web server and the samples contain some PHP, so a PHP web server may be useful.
* Install a web server. Here are some you could use:
* Windows: [WAMP download](http://www.wampserver.com/en/)
* Mac: [MAMP download](http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html)
* Linux: [Setting up LAMP](https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/288158-easy-lamp-server-installation)
* [Mongoose (most platforms)](http://code.google.com/p/mongoose/)
* [http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server)
### Running the Tests
To lint the JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, as well as run a smoke test in PhantomJS, run grunt:
```bash
$ grunt
grunt
```
To run the tests for a specific plugin in your browser, open the appropriate file from the `/tests/unit/` directory, for example: `http://localhost/tests/unit/accordion/accordion.html`. The domain will be dependent on your local server configuration; if there is a port, be sure to include it.
Ideally you would test in all of our [supported browsers](http://jqueryui.com/browser-support/), but if you don't have all of these browsers available, that's ok.
Make sure to read our [commits and pull requests documentation](http://dev.contribute.jquery.org/commits-and-pull-requests/) for full details on working with branches and forks, as well as our commit guidelines.

## Running the Unit Tests
Run the unit tests with a local server that supports PHP. No database is required. Pre-configured php local servers are available for Windows and Mac. Here are some options:
- Windows: [WAMP download](http://www.wampserver.com/en/)
- Mac: [MAMP download](http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html)
- Linux: [Setting up LAMP](https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/288158-easy-lamp-server-installation)
- [Mongoose (most platforms)](http://code.google.com/p/mongoose/)
Run the unit tests manually with appropriate browsers and any local web server. See our [environment setup](CONTRIBUTING.md#environment-minimum-required) and [information on running tests](CONTRIBUTING.md#running-the-tests).
You can also run the unit tests inside phantomjs by [setting up your environment](CONTRIBUTING.md#user-content-environment-recommended-setup).
