I hope the subject line have increased your curiosity to go through
the email :).
As a community, we are looking for contributors for GlusterFS bug
triage and hopefully this mail will give you enough motivation for it.
As mentioned in the subject , bug triage will help to get bugs fixed
quicker, and features implemented sooner. If you are not sure what bug
triage means, please refer the gluster wiki page [1] for bug triage.
Here are few questions and answers to help you if this is something
you should do.
* Q: Why we need to do bug triage?
* A: It reduces the time between reporting a bug and the
availability of a fix enormously.
o Because many developers have bad response times for new bugs
that are not pointed out to them. When well triaged bugs get
assigned to right developers, the response time improves.
o Also developers work mainly on writing bug fixes and
implementing new features. Which in turn results in to
spending (too little) time on bug triaging.
* Q: I am just a GlusterFS user. Why bug triage will help me?
* A: It will increase your understanding of GlusterFS, current
issues in GlusterFS, increase the interaction between developers,
community and triager. It will also help filing better bugs too.
The better the bug report, the easier it is for a developer to
write a fix.
* Q: Do you run GlusterFS in production?
* A: If your answer is yes, then bug triage is the right platform
for you to raise the importance of bugs. Bug triage will also help
you know existing issues in the version of GlusterFS you are
using, help you to know existing issues in a new feature. So you
will be in a better position to decide if a feature is production
ready or not.
* Q: I want to contribute to GlusterFS. Will bug triage help?
* A: Yes, it is an awesome place to start. You will get to know
about all the components in GlusterFS along with issues in each of
them. This knowledge will help you to do better testing,
development (bug fixing) etc. Also you will interact with
developers while triaging bugs. You can use these interactions to
ask more detailed questions.
* Q: How can I triage bugs of GlusterFS?
* A: The wiki page [1] is the right place start. We are starting up
a bi-weekly/weekly triage meeting in #gluster-meeting on Freenode.
There would be another mail with details about the meeting. You
can join the meeting and interact with other triagers.
Please don't hesitate to hit the reply button if you have any question
on this. We would love to hear your suggestions/feed back :).
