Joining the BugZappers
Important Account Signups
- Obtain a bugzilla account in Red Hat's Bugzilla
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/createaccount.cgi
- Fedora's bugs are tracked in Red Hat's Bugzilla
- Obtain a Fedora Account
- This is necessary to obtain additional permissions in bugzilla needed to triage bugs
- It is necessary that the e-mail address used for your Bugzilla and Fedora accounts are the same
- After successfully obtaining a Fedora account, view the fedorabugs group and apply to the group by clicking the Apply! button.
- If you can commit to being a regular triager for the current release cycle, add your name to the Active Triagers page.
- This is a simple reference so that package maintainers know who the triagers are
- It also gives us a rough idea who is triaging bugs in which components
This does mean certain components are reserved. If you are unfamiliar with a component and someone is very active there, it is probably a good idea to pick a different component.
Communication
- Join the fedora-test-list
- All announcements and conversations about bug triage happen on this list
- https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
- Valuable communication and real time help happen in the chat channels on IRC. See IRCSetup and IRCHowTo for more information on using IRC
- Two useful channels to join are: #fedora-bugzappers and #fedorabot on Freenode
- Once you are all setup and ready to go drop by and say hello on #fedora-bugzappers
- #fedora-bugzappers is also a good place to get help if you are having problems with the sign-up process
- Obtain wiki edit access
- The Fedora Project Wiki (which is what you are reading from right now) is a useful place to store and retrieve information
- Obtaining wiki edit access gives you the ability to contribute too
