So at the current point of time, our bug squad seems incomplete.  I'm
pretty sure that Eluze is taking at least Monday duty.

But it definitely looks like reports on Thursday and Friday are either
getting lost or swept up by Colin or others.

yes, I do - and sorry I didn't reply - I must have put this post into a todo
list which I didn't find anymore.

I could take over Thursday too until somebody wants to join and take that
day - please let me know

Bug Squad Roll Call

2013-11-12 Thread Colin Campbell

In another thread, David K said:


I'm really bad at making the admittedly mostly trivial and/or
inconsequential decisions for administrative tasks like that, and once I
have three different tasks to prioritize, I get into panic and
deadlocks.

So a working bug squad does a_lot_  for letting me stay focused on that
kind of work I am actually good at: fixing stuff.  Inventing stuff.
Organizing/filing, in contrast, makes me shut down.  Stupid, I know.

**

In the interests of getting the Bug Squad back on track, shall we take a roll 
call, with each member identifying themselves and stating for which day(s) they 
are responsible? It would also be useful to know whether or not there is a 
current meister.

Greetings, Bug Squad members and Graham -

I just saw Colin signed on for today. Can someone please let me (and
perhaps the rest of the squad) know what the current assignments are?

I appreciate your time and attention,

 That's very generous of you, but I'm concerned that it might not
 be the best long-term plan.

Yes I realise that, so perhaps don't 'document' that Saturday's is
taken by me, but know that I have an eye out (on Saturdays) if we
haven't filled the space. Then hopefully someone will step in and I
can have that half eye back.

 I offered to do Saturdays.

That's very generous of you, but I'm concerned that it might not
be the best long-term plan.

The Bug Squad is the only entry-level position that we have.
Writing code requires either 3+ years of programming experience
(ideally in ope-source software) software, or lots of hand-holding
-- but we don't have lots of interest in hand-holding.  Writing
docs is finicky (as James knows very well!) because there's lots
of places you need to just know don't do this, ignore those
warnings, etc.  LSR is still festering at the 2.12 level.  etc.
By contrast, the Bug Squad has very clear guidelines (less than 10
bullet points for every if you see this, do xyz situation), a
well-defined amount of time (20 minutes, once a week), etc.

I don't think we should have highly skilled developers filling
those positions.  Potential volunteers aren't going to offer if
they don't see any easy way to contribute.

We've bumped the suggested response rate up to 4 days, so if
anything I think we should leave days open.


For James in particular... in addition to your doc stuff, I think
you should be coordinating lilydev 2.0 (I think we're ready for
another beta test?), and once that's out, we should find you 1 or
2 doc helpers.  It's high time for you to be training new people
how to work on our documentation; if you get hit by a bus, we're
SOL.

The first candidate that comes to mind is of course Eluze; he (or
she?  I'm never certain with names from other countries) has good
ideas for the docs, and it's fine to poach him/her away from the
Bug Squad.  I was always hoping that the Bug Squad would serve as
an entry level place where interested volunteers could spend 2-3
months helping out, before moving on to more complicated tasks.
IIRC I was initially forcasting a turnover of 50% every 6 months.

I'd like to resume doing Thursday. Apologies for not contributing these last 
five weeks, or letting you know why. Just pressure of work. We taped out on 
Friday so I'll be available this week.

Cheers,
Colin.
