You guys may have noticed or heard about additions to the staff by |
5 |
kloeri. I am one of the new devs. GurliGebis has also joined |
6 |
gentoo. Our task is to take bugdays off of kloeri's hands. With |
7 |
kloeri's guidance we're brainstorming ways to increase the |
8 |
effectiveness of bugdays. Below are some of the ideas we've been |
9 |
contemplating. Please reply with comments, questions and |
10 |
suggestions. Take note that all of the changes are to the bugday |
11 |
page. No changes will be made to Bugzilla. |
12 |
|
13 |
Goals |
14 |
1. Build the Gentoo community both over the internet and in real life. |
15 |
2. Increase user/developer coordination. i.e. More users fixing bugs. |
16 |
|
17 |
Ideas |
18 |
- - Have pre-bugday and post-bugday podcasts designed to present |
19 |
information in an alternate form. |
20 |
The pre-bugday podcast would include how-tos/tips in addition to a |
21 |
run down of the top bugs. |
22 |
The post-bugday podcast would include a debrief and highlight the |
23 |
most effective bugday individuals and teams. |
24 |
- - User logins using usernames and passwords from bugzilla. |
25 |
- - In accordance with the above, user bug additions and voting on bugs |
26 |
may also be supported. |
27 |
Note: no changes to bugzilla so lets not restart that discussion. |
28 |
- - Classification of bugs by difficulty and language skills (if any) |
29 |
required. |
30 |
- - Reference links to helpful articles on languages relating to a bug. |
31 |
- - Points awarded to users for solving bugs. These points are the also |
32 |
the priority votes. |
33 |
- - Association with bug hunting groups/teams which either form over the |
34 |
internet or in real life. |
35 |
- - Event planner for real life bugday sessions. |
36 |
- - IRC bot interface to new website. |
37 |
- - New logo. |
38 |
|

In addition to feedback on these ideas, I'd like to get some feedback |
47 |
on ways to improve bugdays for developers. |
48 |
Do you as a dev participate regularly? Why or why not? |
49 |
What could we do to improve the ease of bugdays? |
50 |
What bottlenecks exist in closing bugs? |
