Official Launch of the Fedora BugZappers Triage Team
by Jack Aboutboul 21 Sep '26

21 Sep '26

Want to help out with the Fedora Project, but can't code a lick? Well fear not my dear friends. There are many ways you can help the cause and today I am pleased to announce a brand new way you can help contribute. Join the Fedora BugZappers! Who are the BugZappers? The BugZappers, (http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers) are the official triage team of the Fedora Project. The main goal of the team is to triage, or do a first pass, of bugs in Bugzilla and ensure that a number of parameters are satisfactorily met. Basically what that means is that the BugZappers will go through bugs as they come in and try and make sure the bugs are valid (i.e. not a duplicate), sane and contain enough information to be escalated to developers. If you have ever reported a bug and wondered why it took so long to get fixed, well then BugZappers is the right project to join. Tell Me More! The BugZappers aim to be the primary line of defense for Fedora Quality Assurance (QA). The BugZappers will begin running Bug Day events, every alternating week, usually on Wednesdays. Bug Day events are when the team gets together to concentrate our focus on certain subsections of the project which need work. Triage should continue on though, and remember kids, "Every day should be a Bug Day!" So, if you are tired of hearing complaints about things not working, pieces being broken or just plain want to help Fedora be the best dang Fedora it can be, then join the BugZappers team and help the developers make the most of their coding time. It's fun, it's easy, you don't need much experience to start and we are willing to show you the path of the righteous, should you choose to accept this mission. What's in it for me? Glad you asked. First of all there is candy. OK, so there is no candy, but there is free stuff. The team is working on some giveaways and run contests during Bug Day events. You also get to work on triaging things that annoy you first, so your problems get fixed sooner; kernel problems anyone? Also, a wise man once said, much fame and fortune come to he who close many bugs. OK, it really wasn't a wise man buy you get the point. How Do I Join? Step 1: Sign up for the mailing list at: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-triage-list Step 2: Join us on IRC We live in #fedora-bugs on Freenode Step 3: Read/Modify/Enhance the wiki Our wiki is located at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers . Additionally, we have more information available on the wiki at: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsReports and http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs . More content will be added as we get the project off the ground and moving. Also, be sure to look for our announcement of the first Bug Day event coming soon to an Inbox near you! Thanks, Jack

bug week-end focus: nautilus
by Marius Andreiana 22 Feb '06

Hello there, We're on the last thousand of package updates before Fedora Core 5 hits the shelves of FTPs and torrent trackers everywhere! Meanwhile, bugs are creeping into bugzilla and trying to slow down developers from making the best Fedora release ever. Until the end of this week, let's provide special attention to nautilus bugs. There are 137 open bugs now; here is the link to Red Hat bugzilla query: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&shor… Please go through them and test on FC5testX/rawhide to see if they are still valid. If it works for you, close as WORKSFORME and ask the reporter to reopen if it's still an issue for him after updating to FC5testX/rawhide. However, don't rush with this as some bugs are triggered only in unusual cases (especially segfaults). Sometimes it might not happen to you, but the bug it's still there. If bug is still valid, would be useful to search upstream for the same bugs and add an External Bugzilla Reference to GNOME Desktop bug if found. Here's the link: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/query.cgi?format=advanced (please select nautilus* packages and click search. GNOME Bugzilla seems down for me) Is there anything you could do to help fixing it faster? (provide additional info if requested by developer, testcase, screenshot etc) Remember to add yourself as CC to all bugs you modify (including closing), in order to get notices of further changes.
