Preparing for Bug Day

Topics

• Good topics for bug days allow for steady progress when tackled collaboratively.
  • For Bugzilla: Try to focus bug queries such that bug lists are reasonable in length. Mix up the purpose from week to week. (don't just triage bugs every week)
    • Triage Unconfirmed
    • Dupes
    • Verification
    • etc

• Suggestions for future topics:
  • ???
  • ???

Schedule

note: don't forget to check the Bug Day Archive page for previously done topics. It's perfectly fine to revisit past topics. The archives page is out of date.

Changes to the Wiki

• Adjust the following items on the Bug Day wiki page as appropriate:
  • Topic of the day
    • Move the old topic, if it's a unique topic, to the Bug Day Archive page
    • Replace the old topic with the new topic
    • Include links to bugzilla queries (tinyurls)
  • Update status report for the last bugday
  • Note who is moderating each session
  • Release being targeted: Update links to the builds to be tested (usually trunk)
• Update this page with potential topics and schedule them
