[ubuntu-us-mi] Hug Day

[Wolfger]

Since I was volunteered to create the MI Bug Team wiki page, I figure
I'll also take it upon myself to be the group's taskmaster for all
things buggy. That being said, I encourage everybody to consider
spending at least part of this Wednesday (December 5th) on Launchpad,
searching for bugs that have no assigned package, and assigning them
to packages. For help in determining what package to assign the bug to
please, take a look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage

If you're not confident in your ability to determine the right
package... trust me: there's a lot of low-hanging fruit out there.
I've seen plenty of bugs that scream "I belong to this package", yet
for whatever reason the originator of the bug didn't assign a package.

I think this is a great idea and what I'd suggest is that everyone that
wants to help get into irc on the 5th and work together. Those that need
help can get it from the irc channel guys. Almost a "code sprint" over
irc to help out on Hug Day.

Wolfger, what might be really helpful if you or any of the others that
attended the sprint have time to do, would be to create a list of these
bugs on a wiki page ahead of time. Then we can link everyone that comes
to help to the wiki and just start knocking them out one by one.

I've setup a link to a new wiki page for the event on the meetings page:

Sorry a little late to this, under the MI Bug Team wiki page are you just
tracking down bugs that UBuntu MI people are having, bugs they are dealing
with or what?

[Greg Grossmeier]

In general we will just be working on bugs that need help (is that
vague enough for ya?).

There are some searches Launchpad that can bring up all bugs that have
yet to be assigned a package (something that needs to be done before a
developer will look at it to fix it).

See our page which was just created that has some resources:
(See specifically the "Helpful Launchpad Searches")
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MichiganTeam/Meetings/IRC-20071205

After assigning packages you will want to make sure the bug report has
all the information that a developer might need to fix the issue. If
you feel something is missing ask the reporter to supply it (see the
"Improve a Bug Report" link).

Anyways, if you have any questions either #ubuntu-us-mi or
#ubuntu-bugs are good places to ask.

Have fun everyone!

Greg
