Work in progress - watch for falling wikicode...
Preparing for Bug Day
- Change 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
- Releases being targeted
- Update links to the builds to be tested (usually trunk)
- Topic of the day
- Update this page with potential topics and schedule them
- Promoting Bug Days - Announcements should be posted to the following areas:
- Mozilla QA blog
- MozillaZine Firefox build Forum
- moz.dev.quality newsgroup
- Submit a story to MozillaZine (this won't work on short notice)
- Pass the word around on irc: #qa, #firefox, #developers, etc.
- Update link to the Bug Day under Hot Events
- Get prominent ad on QMO for when it goes live.
- Misc.
- When appropriate, invite developer(s) to participate
- Adjust plan for regional interests if necessary
Topic Planner
- Good topics for bug days allow for steady progress when tackled collaboratively.

- Triage Unconfirmed
- Dupes
- Verification
- etc
- Public input tools: Attempt to map reports to bugs
- Talkback
- Reporter
- Hendrix
- Forums

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 The archives page is out of date. I will be working on pulling topics out of the bug day wiki history to accurately complete that archive.
