Luis's notes:

  • why are we here?
  • what are we doing well/poorly w/ bugzilla?
    • mail duplication bits- finally kill the damn aliases
    • continued work on query pages
    • better mass manipulation- i.e., 'find all NEEDINFO bugs with no comments in past six months'
    • better API for sync, better processes
    • for company, you have to be hacking against HEAD for it to be basically useful
    • need to email bugmaster to add new versions and such- maybe fixable in 2.18?
  • how can we reinvigorate bug days? Saturdays? evenings only? rolling global evenings? formally rotate announcements?
    • big problem is that there are only like 4-10 people who can/do actually do it
    • rotation of days has down and upside
    • shorter bug days? less than weekly, but bigger blowouts?
    • get better about theming bug days
    • continued etiquette training for maintainers and bugsquadders
    • 90% of bugs are easy to triage, 10% hard to triage- how do you deal with the hard to triage ones such that you don't scare them off?
  • automated testing- how could we use it in a bugsquad context? paolo's stuff?
    • you'd want to tie it to bug-buddy, or alternately tie it into a build system process if output is sane enough
  • testcase databases? if Novell open sourced their testcase database, could we usefully use it?
    • basically a combo database for test cases and databases
    • different questions: would it be useful to corporations who may or may not be working on head? would it be of interest to community members to do it?
  • built binary rpms/debs/whatever- these are important, how can we do these again?
    • wouldn't necessary have to be binaries- jhbuild actually packaged/distributed with good instructions to get it log
    • packaging project could concievably be resurrected; can't have single points of failure- we must write things down
