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 |
|
| 39 |

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? |
