Introducing the Community-TriageTeam

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

To make triage-life easier and to identify Firefox Crash and Critical Bugs we are thinking about ways to strengthen and build the number of people working on nightly triage and create a Community-Triage Team, and on some ideas to set up a priority system for which bugs get looked at first in the nightly triage work.

Focus of this Team should be on the unconfirmed Crash [and Critical] Bugs that are filed everyday [as the first priority, then move on to other classes of bugs]. With doing this daily it allows us to find regressions/crashes sooner and faster and also allow us (if the crash is on a website) to create a testcase for this Crash before a site changes. Its also clear that a lot of these crash bugs are frequently missing key information and several iterations are needed to gather information to make the bug useful. We should formalize steps to close the bugs as “incomplete” after some time period if not enough information is being added to the bug. We can encourage the filer to reopen if more info becomes available.

The Team is open and everyone can join (the sign up for the mailinglist is here https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/community-triageteam) – Also feel free to tell others about this new Project and Team.

EU Intercommunity Meetup 2009

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Hi,

about a week ago (12-14 June) Community Member from Spain/Germany/Italy/France and Denmark + 5 Mozilla Employees got together in Geneva/Swiss to talk about Status of Localization-Teams, QA, SUMO and a lot of other topics.

geneva

In my talks i talked about QA and L10n and about the MozillaMeetups.

I got very great feedback from the L10n Teams about what we can improve in the Tools (like litmus) and whats on the L10n Wishlist, like a QA Dashboard. I think that a lot of the things we discussed during the Meeting will result in improvements to make the QA work for our L10n Teams easier.

I was very impressed about the Session where the L10n Teams and our Community really rocks !

Also Big Thanks to William for organizing this Event !

A big thanks to the guys from Bwin and especially to Patrick for organization of this Meetup ! It was a evening with great talks from “Mr. Sumo” David Tenser about the support.mozilla.com Project, William about Community Marketing and the great Robert Nyman and also from me about getting involved into Mozilla QA.

Beside the interesting talks we had some great conversation with Community Members and i hope that we got on this evening a lot of new Community Members for the Swedish Community and QA, SUMO, Addons and Marketing.
