Hi Konstantinos. There is an IRC channel but it's not that busy any more. You could try the gitter channel at http://gitter.im/scikit-learn/scikit-learn The issue that you cited is ok, but this one might be easier to start with: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/8194 You need to install nosetests to run it.

Hello all,

My name is Konstantinos and I would like to contribute to scikit-learn. I am relatively new to open source development and I want to work on some easy bug-fixing to get used to the github workflow.

Firstly, is this issue open and should I try working on it? https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/8425 If not, would you suggest another?

Furthermore, when trying to build with make I get this:

make: nosetests: Command not found Makefile:32: recipe for target 'test-code' failed make: *** [test-code] Error 127

Is this in any way expected and do you know what I might be missing?

Finally, is there an IRC channel particularly for scikit-learn?

Thanks in advance, Konstantinos _______________________________________________ scikit-learn mailing list scikit-learn@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/scikit-learn
