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:

Step 2: Join us on IRC

I don't know if what we experienced has anything to do with thie problem, but
we had a RHEL5 system running 2.6.18-92.1.1 and after a 138 day uptime, the NFS
server stopped being able to complete fcntl64(..., F_GETLK, .. calls or
fcntl64(255, F_GETFL) calls in strace. For users whose home directories were on
this server, these users could not start firefox, thunderbird, openoffice, many
KDE apps, etc and I couldn't run this test script no matter which of the 35+
other RHEL4 and RHEL5 NFS clients I tried :
#!/bin/sh
(
flock -x 200
uname -a >> allHosts.txt
) 200>> lockFile
It would just hang. Eventually we had to reboot the NFS server, re-starting NFS
didn't help, and I don't think there is anyway to re-start [lockd] since it's a
kernel level process.

I don't see much point in owning files that doesn't normally exist. Otherwise
we'd have to own many many other files too... WONTFIX as anaconda no longer
creates the file.

Bug 569641: Sound Juicer could not find any CD-ROM drives to read
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=569641
------- Additional Comments from Jaroslav Franek <jarin.franek(a)post.cz>
Retested with Fedora 14. Similar issue. The error text now reads:
"Sound Juicer could not read the track listing on this CD.
Reason: Cannot access CD: The specified location is
not mounted"
Probably not mounted, but at the same time Dolphin shows correctly the contents
of the CD, including correct track info. And the CD plays in VLC media player.
KDE does not offer any mount option for the audio CD to me.
But anyway, I have turned to other, working, SW for audio ripping, so I do not
need this to be fixed.
