hej hej, not much feedback from you busy triagers to my email on the bugsquad mailing list, so i have now set you on the BCC list. ;-) i really want to get this thingy going because it's better for everyone (see my original email quoted at the end). so i step ahead and propose ***** wednesday, 21st of march, 2007 ***** for a bugday in #bugs on irc.gimp.org. it would be nice if everyone could list a few hours that he could perhaps dedicate (this is not mandatory, but as GNOME is a worldwide project, a bigger variety of hours would make it easier for interested people to drop in and find somebody helping them). name || possible time (in UTC) ================================================== andre klapper 1600 to 2000+ feedback, please!! a bug"day" for only four hours is lame! ;-) thanks, andre On Mon, 2007-02-19 at 01:20 +0100, Andre Klapper wrote: > dear friends of the revolution, > > i think everybody will agree that we need a bugdays revival? > > in fear of getting another[1] bugflood in april and may (Ubuntu 7.04: > 19/04/2007, Fedora Core 7: 24/05/2007), we should try to be attractive > (i'm already wearing my sexiest skirt today ;-P) and get more people > into triaging. > for most of us triaging is just fun, but (to me) it definitely was not > fun anymore in those days when ubuntu 6.10 and fedora core 6 hit the > streets at the same time. :-/ > > this means: > * finding willing bugsquaders and a date that most of us can agree > with. i propose a few days after the release of GNOME 2.18.0 on > march 14th. please also provide a basic idea of the hours (in > UTC) in which you could be available, just that we know how many > hours we can set this up for. see [2] for a timezone converter. > we do need people around on irc to show interested newbies how > to triage and how to get involved. the more, the better. > * update (restructure?) http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad/BugDays . > if i would be potentially interested, the page does not look > like something that i would like to read. let's also link to > http://live.gnome.org/JoinGnome so contribution-interested > people realizing that triaging isn't their passion can get an > idea of other opportunities how to give some love back to > gnome. > * http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/ could either be > updated or eliminated (depending on how far the GNOME.org revamp > plans for 2.18 can be realized, see marketing-list and [3]). > * send an email to bugsquad, gnome-love, gnome-list and inform the > marketing list - perhaps we can get somebody to make a banner > for www.gnome.org (i have some people in mind here, but asking > for this on the marketing-list seems more appropriate), which > will have many visits right after the 2.18.0 release. > * perhaps we should prepare a field or a set of bugs that people > can work with (a nice bugzilla query URL)? anybody having an > idea or something in mind? > > if this is successful, we can hopefully get this on a regular basis > again. > > cheers, > andre > > > [1] http://blogs.gnome.org/attachment/aklapper/2006/11/29/0/bug-chart.png > [2] http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html > [3] http://desdeamericaconamor.org/blog/node/332 -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de/ | http://blogs.gnome.org/portal/aklapper
