This is a DRAFT announcement, feedback, thoughts. comments, flames, etc always welcomed. This is to go to f-announce-l, f-devel-a, and here. <announcement> Announcing the re-launch of the Fedora Bug Triage team! What does the triage team do? We are the first line of defense of Fedora developers in assisting them in dealing with the enormous workload of bug management. This includes things like asking the reporter for more information if needed, attempting to reproduce the bug if you are able and have the necessary hardware to do so, and finding duplicate bugs. It is important to note that no particular education or background is required in order to triage bugs. In particular, no programming experience is required. Have you ever reported a bug, but been frustrated because no one responded to it? Have you been annoyed by having bugs mass-closed on you, but no one had ever responded to it originally? Do you not know how to program, but want to find a meaningful way to contribute to Fedora? Do you have a genuine desire to help people? If so, then the triage team is for you! We are going to arrange some training sessions. We don't yet know what days or times these will be held. that's up to you! If you are already a Fedora contributor, there is a sign-up page available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Training. If you are not already a contributor, you will not be able to edit that page quite yet. But fear not! There's help to be found on how to become a contributor at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Joining, and the people that can be found on freenode IRC in #fedora-qa are always eager to help. </announcement> I felt compelled to include the part directing folks to our joining page if they're not already a contributor, since there's a part that says 'sign up here for a training class'. However, if they've not signed the CLA as of yet, they will not be able to edit the page in order to sign up. Some better language around that would be awesome. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
