If you don't have write privileges on bzr.openpetra.org you can also commit to launchpad.
We are not using Bazaar anymore, but Git.
This can be done the following way:
 
* Create a public and private key on launchpad. This is explained [https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair here]. It is quite important to execute pageant and to load the private key into pageant.
 
* In your bazaar, you need to tell your launchpad username, on the command line run <code>bzr launchpad-login USERNAME</code>. I have not found a place in the GUI to do this.
 
* Do a checkout of OpenPetra from <code>http://bzr.openpetra.org:8008/openpetra/trunk</code> (or  if you are working on the website, <code>http://bzr.openpetra.org:8008/website/trunk</code>). You need to get a full checkout, ie. NOT a light-weight checkout, since that would not allow you to switch later, somehow a lock would be required on the source repository.
If you're using the bazaar GUI you can do this the following way: Go to the menu point Bazaar -> Start -> Checkout. Enter branch source and local directory: Copy the command that then appears below into the pasteboard. Open the bazaar command line, change to your bazaar directory and paste the saved command into it. Delete "--lightweight" and execute the command. The command then would be fe.
  bzr checkout http://bzr.openpetra.org:8008/website/trunk D:\openPetra.org-Files3\bzr\website-launchpad\trunk
 
* In your local working tree, push to Launchpad which will create a new branch there: <code>lp:~USERNAME/openpetraorg/BRANCH_NAME</code>, eg. <code>lp:~jomammele/openpetraorg/website-spanish</code>.
 
* Then you switch your local working tree to <code>lp:~USERNAME/openpetraorg/BRANCH_NAME</code>. This means that all your future commits will go to your branch at Launchpad.
 
* Now you can add files and change existing files, and commit them to your branch at Launchpad.
 
* If you want to get the latest version from OpenPetra, do a merge from <code>http://bzr.openpetra.org:8008/openpetra/trunk</code> (or <code>http://bzr.openpetra.org:8008/website/trunk</code> if you are working on the website)
 
* If you want your changes to be merged into the OpenPetra bzr, tell a core developer the URL of your branch. It is recommended to have small branches for each feature that you want to go upstream. You will not be able to reuse a branch, after it has been merged into openpetra trunk, since we want to avoid criss cross merges etc.
 
If you get an unlock error-message execute a
  bzr break-lock bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jomammele/openpetraorg/website-spanish/
