[ubuntu-us-mi] [[Ubuntu-bugcontrol] Triaging Sound Bugs on Ubuntu -- Soon on an IRC Channel for you!]

[Greg Grossmeier]

This is tomorrow evening.

I thought some of you would be interested in learning a bit more about 
how to triage sound bugs, especially before the Global Jam.

> Date: 		Friday, August 28th, at 22:00 UTC

> [1] Unfortunately, just the sound bugs triaging part, right now. Before

> broken. Then, with the help of correctly triaged bugs, we can work out
> the failures, and get Sound Working As It Should (TM). On the other
> hand, if you get to understand how to triage sound issues, you will
> probably have far less issues with sound ;-)

> [2] please keep in mind that one can only *solve* a problem after: (1)
> understanding *what* is the problem (if any at all); (2) finding *how*
> the problem manifests itself; (3) finding *where* the problem lies.
> Amazingly enough for some people, this all depends on a correct triage.

> [3] As luck would have it, I will, myself, be absent: at this time I

> this week, so we can set it up.
