[Mageia-dev] BugSquad initiation!

Thu Feb 3 17:35:17 CET 2011

This is copy of email that was sent some time ago (about two weeks) to
+the bugsquad mailing list, and to everyone who put his name down in
+the triage page in the wiki.
+
+After discussions, it was seen wise to send a fresh copy to the
+Mageia-dev and Mageia-discuss mailing lists, in the hope that people
+who are interested in triage work can participate :)
+
+Please *reply to* this email directly on the mageia-bugsquad mailing
+list (please be careful as this email has -dev and -discussion lists
+in CC :)).
+
+
+This is just an introduction email, to get the team started/organised.
+Unlike other teams we are not in a rush, since, well, we still don't
+have any bugs (something you probably won't hear/read ever again :));
+still it's a good idea to start now.
+
+As you can see on the triage page:
+http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=triage There's now a documentation
+section, it's recommended to read those articles carefully (don't
+worry, it's not as complex as it looks, if you've ever used a bugzilla
+you already know a lot of the information in those articles).
+
+The communications methods will be:
+- The BugSquad Mailing list:
+https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-bugsquad
+- Our own IRC channel #mageia-bugsquad on Freenode.
+
+We're going to hold the BugSquad first meeting on IRC,
+#mageia-bugsquad on Freenode at 20h UTC ('date -u' in terminal on your
+system will show the time in UTC) on Tuesday the 25th of January.
+
+Using IRC is quite simple, use any IRC client from the repos, Quassel,
+Konversation, xchat-gnome, kvirc; most of them are configured to join
+Freenode by default, you just join #mageia-bugsquad channel; easiest
+way is typing this command in the input box (after you connect to
+Freenode):
+
+/join #mageia-bugsquad
