Joining the BugZappers

Important Account Signups

  1. Obtain a bugzilla account in Red Hat's Bugzilla
  2. Obtain a Fedora Account
    • It is necessary that the e-mail address used for your Bugzilla and Fedora accounts are the same
  3. Sign the CLA (a license agreement for any contributions you make in the course of triaging): here's how
  4. After successfully obtaining a Fedora account, view the fedorabugs group and apply to the group by clicking the Apply! button. Your membership will need to be approved, so this process is not instantaneous. It may take several days (unfortunately) for your membership to be approved, so please be patient. After your approval, you will have additional permissions in the system which will allow you to triage bugs.
  5. 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

  1. Join the fedora-test-list
  2. Valuable communication and real time help happen in the chat channels on IRC. See IRCSetup and IRCHowTo for more information on using IRC
    • The main IRC channels to join are: #fedora-bugzappers - where team members discuss things - and #fedorabot - where you will see automated messages when new bugs are filed (among other things)
    • 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
  3. Attend a Bug Triage Meeting. Details on the time and location of meetings are on that page
