FOSS Team Project

[Logan Minnix]

To whomever it may concern,

My name's Logan. I'm part of a team of five people that want to help out
with Open Office. We're in a semester-long class until the end of April
that is going to be focused on fixing bugs, getting close to the open
source software's community, and reporting on our results.

We picked Open Office because it's already a large, experienced community
with lots of documentation. You guys have a very active community, and it's
tough to know when to step in exactly, but I think we finally found that
point.

What we've already done. We have downloaded, configured, and built the
source code. As a team, we tried finding a bug to fix, but it seems as
though it has already been fixed. After commenting on one of the reports,
we were then sent to this email here. So, if you have any unassigned bugs
or issues, then we'd love to help.

Just a little background on how advanced we are, two of us have jobs in
programming, and all five us are seniors in a 400 level computer science
class.

I can't wait to hear back from you.

Sincerely,
Logan Minnix

Welcome

we are always happy to see volunteers. I spent part of my time mentoring
student groups like yours.

Bugzilla should be up to date with regard of status, so if you have found a
bug report that is already fixed, then please mark it as such.

You will see that BZ contains a number of bugs that are:
- not really bugs, but user errors, these need to be commented and closed
- bugs that are unconfirmed, these need to be confirmed and commented or
closed
- and of course real bugs, which are confirmed and wait to be solved.

It is super that you have already build AOO, on which platform?

We also have a label in BZ for "easy bugs" which you might want to look at.

Feel free to ask on this list.

Re: FOSS Team Project

I have a feature suggestion for your team!

In the business world we use many spreadsheets.  Each spreadsheet has a
particular purpose.  For some the flow is left to right.  For others it is
top to bottom.  I event have some that are right to left.  The global
setting of which direction the cursor moves should be a spreadsheet setting
(and I thought it was at one time).  It is very inconvenient to have to go
into the global calc settings and change the cursor movement direction for
every spreadsheet.  And invariably, the next one I use will be the other
direction from the last one I used.  A "fix" for this situation would be
very convenient in the business world.

[REQUEST] Bugzilla "User Error" Reports

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

With regard to "user error" reports that are not really bugs in the Bugzilla, I 
would appreciate having any of those that turn up assigned to me.  Then add a 
comment so I will be certain to notice that there is something to take a look 
at.

I will analyze and see where there is an appropriate disposition and close them 
as appropriate (assuming that I have the karma to do that).

Use orcmid @apache.org for the assignments.

I wonder if we could setup a special tag for these either in Severity or
??? that could be used when closing so we could find them easier later.

Re: [REQUEST] Bugzilla "User Error" Reports

[Mathias Röllig]

I wonder if we could setup a special tag for these either in Severity or
??? that could be used when closing so we could find them easier later.


I suggest to have an Issue Type "Not an Issue" or simply "---" for 
closing such issues.



I also suggest that only peoples with Can-Confirm-Right can reopen an 
issue or reset to Unconfirmed.

I would prefer "---" as less judgmental.  

@Mathias,

Say more about how the different karma cases for AOO Bugzilla are handled.  
Where can I find a description for that?

FW: GSoC 2015 - very little interest so far

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

It appears to have possible work included in a compilation of potential GSoC 
projects is (1) use JIRA and (2) use label gsoc2015.

I don't know what is to be done when a project uses Bugzilla instead.

Hi Folks,

Our ideas list for GSoC projects [1] so far has only 38 entries. IMO this 
number is extremely low
given the number of projects at Apache. I conclude that interest in GSoC this 
year is either very
low or that my initial email has not reached the right people.

Please help me spread the word by reminding your projects' communities of GSoC 
and the great
opportunity for community building it provides.

Thanks,

Uli

RE: GSoC 2015 - very little interest so far

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

It appears to me that this,

 

Is a JIRA query, and not a separate JIRA account.  If I look at the list it 
shows issues from VXQUERY, TIKA, THRIFT, SLING, SAMZA, PDFBOX, etc.  If I go to 
VXQUERY-131, I see an Improvement type Open Issue with labels gsoc, gsoc2015, 
Hadoop, mava, mentor, and xml.

I assume one would not open an issue of this kind without an implicit offer to 
mentor.  

What am I missing?

Is there another JIRA project that can be used by participants on projects that 
do not themselves use JIRA?

Hi Denis,

It' all in my original email announcing the program:

"Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your project 
doesn't use JIRA (e.g.
httpd, ooo). Contact d...@community.apache.org if you need assistance."

Cheers,

Uli

Do you see it being abused too much? In general we prefer to keep the 
access open and educate people about possible mistakes, but if many 
users are consistently getting it wrong we can revisit the policy.

We don't have more than what is written in
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html
(and we don't need more). In short, everyone who asks for it on the QA 
list can receive "qa-team" membership to access an (unspecified, and 
there is no need to put the full list on a web page, since it is too 
hard to maintain) additional set of privileges; and everyone who uses 
their @apache.org e-mail address in Bugzilla is automatically granted 
the same privileges.

  Andrea.
