Learn how to triage bugs

  • Not Synced
    I'm Solveig.
  • Not Synced
    Here you have my contact info.
  • Not Synced
    I use Free Software and especially Debian
    since quite some time now
  • Not Synced
    and I also contribute to Tails
  • Not Synced
    so my interests are in privacy…
  • Not Synced
    No? Yes? Do you hear me?
  • Not Synced
    I do some non-developer things
  • Not Synced
    and in Debian I found a way to contribute
    without coding
  • Not Synced
    or maintaining packages which is to
    triage bugs.
  • Not Synced
    Bug triaging, it helps,
  • Not Synced
    it's kind of non visible but it helps
    Debian as a whole
  • Not Synced
    because maintainers don't always
    have the time to deal
  • Not Synced
    with all their bug reports,
  • Not Synced
    some packages have a lot of
    bug reports,
  • Not Synced
    like the kernel or Xorg.
  • Not Synced
    Also, it's a good way to improve the
    package quality.
  • Not Synced
    When some packages have a lot of
    bugs open against them,
  • Not Synced
    it can make it harder for the maintainers
    to know which ones are
  • Not Synced
    solvable, actionable, and they can get a bit
    over their head.
  • Not Synced
    So when you triage bugs, you help
    everybody have a better experience
  • Not Synced
    with Debian.
  • Not Synced
    So, you want to do it.
  • Not Synced
    First, it's easy.
  • Not Synced
    You don't need to learn any new tool
    supposing you already know
  • Not Synced
    how to read and write e-mail
