[Mageia-bugsquad] Bugsquad team organisation

Tue Aug 16 19:31:13 CEST 2011

Dear all,
+
+One of the more important but often overlooked tasks for projects like 
+Mageia is the handling of bug reports received and follow up given to 
+them. Quick resolution of reported problems and the proper routing of 
+these reports is important to help Mageia improve in quality and grow in 
+mindshare within the larger Linux community.
+
+Since Mageia started over 2400 bugs and other issues needing our attention 
+have been filed in our bugzilla ( http://bugs.mageia.org/ ). A very 
+impressive job has been done so far by the various members of the bugsquad 
+and the packagers and sysadmins who have had reports assigned to them. 
+Most impressive has been the bulk of work that Ahmad did by himself since 
+the bugsquad got started under his leadership. Due to time constraints he 
+unfortunately announced last month that he had to step down from this 
+position. Since that time the bugsquad team has been without a leader and 
+a representative for that team within the Mageia council.
+
+Through this email I hope to solicit some help for and interest in this 
+team (hence the Cc to the Mageia discuss list) as well as to discuss 
+within the team (on the bugsquad mailing list) where we want to go with it 
+and if anyone is willing to take over the lead for this team.
+
+Should you have any interest in the bugsquad team, please see the page on 
+our wiki for information on the triage team and how to join the mailing 
+list. The address for that is 
+http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=triage
+
+In order to keep the discussion in one place, I'd appreciate it if follow 
+ups to this message solely go to the bugsquad list.
+
+I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
+
+Thank you for your time and attention, thank you Ahmad for all the hard 
+work done so far!
+
+Sincere regards,
+
+Remco
