From brian at ubuntu.com Fri Feb 1 17:07:07 2008 From: brian at ubuntu.com (Brian Murray) Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2008 09:07:07 -0800 Subject: Hug Day - 5 February 2008 Message-ID: <20080201170707.GG6676@murraytwins.com> It has been two months since we looked at the bugs without a package which by the way we did a great job of assigning to packages and triaging. However, the numbers are creeping back up so it's time to go get them! So join us on our next Hug Day on Wednesday, February 5th! We will be targeting bugs that do not have a package assigned to them. We can help easily help these bug reports through the triaging process by assigning to them a package. For help in determining what package to assign the bug to please take a look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage Even better than just assigning a package would be gathering more information from the original reporter if it is necessary. A list of package and subsystem debugging procedures can be found at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures This event will be held in #ubuntu-bugs and the list of targeted bugs has been posted at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20080205 So feel free to get started early! Our goal is to deal with all of the bugs in that list. Additionally, we have added a graph to the bottom of the wiki page for tracking our impact. So on 5 February 2008, in all timezones, we'll be meeting in #ubuntu-bugs on irc.freenode.net for another Ubuntu Hug Day. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay While you are welcome to apply to join the Ubuntu Bug Control team anytime, Hug Day is a great day to join! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugControl If you're interested in helping, please stop by. And feel free to ask bdmurray, pedro, ogasawara, heno and the rest of the team for ways to help out. We hope to see you there and your name on the list of bug triagers! -- Brian Murray @ubuntu.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The bug has 67 (!) of them at the moment. I think it is very important to get it fixed in Hardy. The poll shows that most of the problems with wireless networking are problems with ralink cards in Ubuntu. POLL: What wireless chipset are you having a problem with in Gutsy? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4178322 The bug occurs commonly. It's very important - and will be easy - to fix it. I would like to ask you to change the importance of the bug to high - because of the large amount of duplicates and users who can't use Ubuntu because of this. -- Regards, Piotr Makowski -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We want new users to have a great experience and can do that by making ubiquity even better. So on February 26th we'll grab the latest Live CD of Hardy Heron and triage ubiquity bug reports. The event will be held in #ubuntu-bugs on Freenode. The list of targeted bugs and tasks is posted at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20080226 Our goal is to deal with all of the bugs on that list. On 26 February 2008, in all timezones, join us in #ubuntu-bugs on irc.freenode.net for another Ubuntu Hug Day. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay While you are welcome to apply to join the Ubuntu Bug Control team anytime, Hug Day is a great day to join! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugControl If you're interested in helping to make the next release of Ubuntu even better - please stop by. And feel free to ask bdmurray, ogasawara, pedro, heno and Evan Dandrea (evand) of the Installer team for ways to help out. We hope to see you there and your name on the list of bug triagers!

Well it would be worst to totally loose people from #ubuntu-bugs because the channel is too noisy ;) I wouldn't probably join #ubuntu-bugs-announce (or whatever it's called) for the same reason I don't really read new bugs in #ubuntu-bugs. But I'm subscribed to some packages bug mail, so I'd still be looking at bugs :) But I wouldn't probably think again in leaving #ubuntu-bugs because we can't discuss bugs and I don't read new bugs.

So when moving them to a different channel, those people would likely join that one too and we (ie. the bug triagers or reporters) can have a far more productive talk in #ubuntu-bugs. While I'm discussing triaging procedure I usually don't have time to check for new bugs, since I'm working/helping on an old one, so the I'd check the announcements later anyway.

The most time my IRC client shows activity in #ubuntu-bugs it's ubotu announcing new bugs. Therefore the most time I ignore the channel and miss discussions or questions. I probably wouldn't join #u-b-announce. When I have time to work on bugs I open the bug list sorted by "Newest first" in my browser and check on which bugs I can help. Surely, moving the announcements into an other channel doesn't fix the bugs but ignoring the channel doesn't fix them either. And people trying to use #ubuntu-bugs for help on fixing/triaging a bug get missed too easily.

However, because I only occasionally help with bugs, it is very nice to have the IRC channel for looking for new bugs. I only have time for bugs about once every week or two. But when I do find time I typically have a couple hours, so it's nice to just open up IRC and help out in a few channels. For me, getting emails would be pretty annoying, so my vote goes to having a separate channel.

I agree that having ubotu announce every "New" bug report isn't particularly useful anymore and that it detracts from people's ability to have conversations in the channel. Additionally, a new bug report by itself isn't very interesting or helpful. However, I wonder if having ubotu announce bug reports as they become "Confirmed" would be more useful. I think it would as these, or also bugs that receive a duplicate, are ones that we should focus our attention on. Another useful thing would be to turn on "New" bug announcements during a bug day. -- Brian Murray @ubuntu.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

During the long lull in this discussion, Atom feeds were implemented in Malone, by subscribing to which you can be notified of all new bugs in Ubuntu or a specific packageas they come in. This strengthens the case for removing the announces. m.

Who can join the Hug Day? Everyone. You don't need to be a developer. You don't need to know to code. Everyone is welcome. If you don't know how to help, then just come and we'll explain you everything. In a Bug Day, you can * work in a nice team, * make sure the bug reporters' concerns are heard, * gather all the information needed so developers can fix bugs, * close useless bugs, * find out where the bugs come from, and eventually * work together with upstream to make changes happen, * get experience in hacking and fixing bugs.

Who can join the Hug Day? Everyone. You don't need to be a developer. You don't need to know to code. Everyone is welcome. If you don't know how to help, then just come and we'll explain you everything. In a Bug Day, you can * work in a nice team, * make sure the bug reporters' concerns are heard, * gather all the information needed so developers can fix bugs, * close useless bugs, * find out where the bugs come from, and eventually * work together with upstream to make changes happen, * get experience in hacking and fixing bugs.

Hal provides a hardware abstraction layer for connecting devices to your computer. Naturally, we want everyone's music player, camera or other device working with Ubuntu and here's your chance to help this happen. We'll be following up with reporters, confirming bug reports and assigning bug reports to the proper package. The event will be held in #ubuntu-bugs on Freenode. The list of targeted bugs and tasks is posted at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20080304 Our goal is to deal with all of the bugs on that list. So on 4 March 2008, in all timezones, we'll be meeting in #ubuntu-bugs on irc.freenode.net for another Ubuntu Hug Day. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay While you are welcome to apply to join the Ubuntu Bug Control team anytime, Hug Day is a great day to join! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugControl If you're interested in helping to make the next release of Ubuntu even better - please stop by.

Using bugnumbers it is now possible to search for using the following filters: --patch filter on bugs containing a patch attached --needs-forwarding filter on bugs needing forwarding upstream --fixed-upstream filter on bugs that are resolved upstream While this replicates existing search functionality in Launchpad, I think it becomes more powerful when combined with other options in bugnumbers. For example, I used 'bugnumbers -p hal --patch' with '--format bugday' to create the table of hal bugs with patches for the next Hug Day. I hope you find cool ways to use this functionality! Additionally, you might be interested to know the bughelper suite in Hardy and bzr now use a plain text version of a bug report for gathering lots of information so it is significantly faster. You can learn more about bughelper at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugHelper/ . [0] https://code.launchpad.net/~bughelper-dev/bughelper/main * this also requires the bzr version of python-launchpad-bugs Thanks, -- Brian Murray @ubuntu.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks for taking the time to file the bug upstream! When doing this though I think it would be useful to have a bug report in Launchpad also though. This will allow other Ubuntu users / bug reporters to find the bug without having to go to a separate bug tracker. Additionally, the Ubuntu bug report could be linked to the upstream bug tracker so we can monitor its status.
