Announcement:
The US Teams is doing an Education Week (similar to Ubuntu Open Week)
on the topic of Reporting, triaging/improving, and fixing bugs.
When: Monday the 26th at 8pm EST, then Wed. @ 8pm, and Friday @ 8pm
Where: #ubuntu-us on Freenode
This should be a good introduction or refresher on the workings of the
bug reporting/triaging/fixing system. I will try to be there myself
as time permits.
I also thought it would be a good way for us to make connections with
others who are working on this stuff so we can lend a hand with our
mad package building skillz, or something.
Below is the blog entry from Christer Edwards announcing it.
Best,
Greg

US Teams Education Week : Reporting, Improving and Fixing Bugs
With the busy holiday week I've had I have not been able to sit down
and announce some of the plans that we've made recently concerning US
Teams participating in Ubuntu bug work. At our last meeting we
discussed some of the ideas from the recent Ubuntu Developer Summit,
part of which being trying to leverage the great people we have in the
local community projects to improve Ubuntu from within. I'm really
excited to announce our first US Teams Education Week, which will be
in regards to bug submission, improvement and patching.
If you're interested in helping out with the Ubuntu bug system,
whether it be in learning how to properly submit the bugs that you
find or maybe you would like to help organize the piles of existing
bugs already reported, please join us for our education sprint.
Beginning Monday, Nov 26th at , 5:00pm PST, 6:00pm MST, 8:00pm EST,
etc we'll meet in #ubuntu-us for some instruction on how we can better
participate in the bug system for Ubuntu.
The presentation, including some Q&A with the Ubuntu bug-team, will
only go about an hour. After that we'd like everyone to take what
they've learned and dive right in! Additional training, including
improving and triaging existing bugs will take place at the same time
on Wednesday, and finally patching bugs and working with upstream will
take place on Friday.
I'm sure this first event will have a few hiccups but we plan to have
these regularly and educate the Ubuntu community (mainly, in my focus,
the US Teams community) on improving Ubuntu from within. I'm sure as
we hold a few of these events that the "bugs" will get worked out and
it'll become a regular scheduled project. Future planned education
sprints including packaging with MOTU, Ubuntu documentation and more.
In any event, if you're interested at all in knowing how the bug
system works or would like to participate in some way to the Ubuntu
project please join us in irc on Monday, Nov 26th at the times above.
See you there!
