Fedora Bug Day Tonite!!!!!! 7.30pm EST - 'til I fall asleep Theme: A general call to arms, for bugbusting!!!!! *Why tonite? Why not today? Sadly, I'm being forced to be away from all internet connected computers today, and my wireless neural implant isn't working. Someone is trying to tell me i have "work" to do, or something. I'm just as confused as you are about all this. But this evening, unless my isp has other plans, i'll be jacked into the net for a large chunk of time. Drop by #fedora-bugs on the freenode network in about oh 10 or so hours from now and help get involved with the bugzilla triage effort. Though now that mitr has bugzilla editting rights, you can stop into the irc channel in the meantime and see if he's around. So if you want to help out with triage. What is triage? maybe this will explain: https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/fedora-triage-list/2004-January/000003.html *What can i do RIGHT NOW! Become involved in the fedora.us QA process and help QA packages that are waiting to be published in the fedora.us addon repo: http://www.fedora.us/QA Please look over that list, and pick a package you would like to see published for the community to enjoy that you are interested in. There are 348 packages sitting waiting for QA. That's 348 packages the Fedora community could be enjoying in the published fedora.us repository trees, once they have made it through the community peer-review process. Remember, until the full merge is completed and Fedora Extras and Alternatives is up and running...community packagers are being advised to use fedora.us's process. How do you become involved in the fedora.us peer-review process? Easy, read: http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy Not only is this a good way to help out, by being part of the peer-review process that helps make sure high quality packages are available to the community, but doing the peer-review QA, can help you learn how to do better rpm packaging. For those of you who dream of the fame and fortune of being Fedora Extras contributors down the road, getting involved in the fedora.us QA process now is a good place to start. -jef"technically, getting this notice out 10 hours before I'm going to be available, actually means this notice isn't late...in fact its probably the earliest notice i've done for a bug day so far"spaleta
