''note: don't forget to check the [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mozilla_QA_Community:Bug_Day:Archive Bug Day Archive page] for previously done topics. it's perfectly fine to revisit past topics.  The archives page is out of date. I will be working on pulling topics out of the bug day wiki history to accurately complete that archive.

== Specific Instructions ==
 
=== QMO Frontpage ===
Create an "Event" after deciding on a date for the next Bug Day. Even if the exact bug list is not set, getting this information out starts the community dialog and gives people enough warning to rearrange their schedule (if necessary).  Creating an event will display it under "Upcoming Events".
 
The "Event" from above should be updated with the following information:
 
* The date and time of the bug day;
* What's the purpose of the bug day;
** Links to instructional documentation.
* links to bug queries;
* links to specific instructions on the [http://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Community/Bug_Day Bug Day wiki page]. (See above)
 
A reminder blog post should be made right before (one or two days) the actual test day.
 
=== QMO Bug Day Article ===
Create the qmo page for a particular bug day.
 
Be sure to double-check the new test day page to make sure that:
* all dates are '''current''' and accurate;
* links docs are accurate;
* links to bug queries are working and accurate;
* task specifics and instructions are accurate.
* Preview to ensure the layout looks good

* Post the announcement to the mozilla.dev.quality Newsgroup and to our 3 Community Mailing Lists
** macqa@mozilla.org
