That's not fair on a number of users actually. You will find a large
number of people only file bugs when there's a compelling reason for
them to continue using a (sub-)system and the bug-fix is something they
can't live without, or if they're committed to the bug-fix process.
Yes, I'd agree with you there. It has been a significantly less number
of users who actually file bugs. And, there are reasons above the ones
you pointed out. Things like {back|stack}traces or crash data (most of
the times without appropriate debug symbols though) are easily tooled to
be sent across to the defect trackers without asking the user for too
much details. A somewhat similar thing is observed with
sysreport/son_of_sysreport. In this case, having a checksysreport setup
does allow you to analyze the data as well. Or, for example the
kerneloops package that allows you to just send the data back for some
analysis.
These days a larger number of user-space applications are letting users
have the option to send across the crash/stall feedback without doing
too much. Pulseaudio is one example.
In a case like the one Swapnil pointed out, it would have been a good
idea to let NetworkManager developers understand the use case and
perhaps put in place a roadmap for such tooling to be included.
Without user feedback of defects, software improvements is going to be
very difficult. The catch is that such feedback loops aren't easy.
In an ideal world I agree we must all file bug reports as rigorously as
possible. However, in real life other considerations tend to take
precedence and the report just becomes a ``Will do when I have some
time'' item somewhere low down in the list.
*sigh* that's sadly true. And, I'd be more than happy if some student
decides to take on a project that will develop or enhance tooling to
report user_space bugs to appropriate defect trackers.

Atanu Datta wrote: Sankarshan, the problem with Bugzilla is that it's been designed with a developer or a general geek in mind. Even Cory Doctorow, featured on RHM [http://www.redhat.com/magazine/020jun06/features/video_doctorow/], in an LJ interview published in November issue says Bugzilla is too difficult for a general user to use. Can't things be made easier? GNU/Linux used by everyday users also nowadays. Is that a feedback after the recent refresh of the bugzilla.redhat.com ? I'd have thought that https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi was simplified to a large extent enabling easy filing of bugs. Bugzilla is an upstream project and RFEs go at (guess what ? :)) https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:UE Like Amarok has a nice system, and maybe other projects can try to replicate the model. Whenever Amarok crashes, it brings up KMail with the dump and the address and the subject line filled in the compose window. All I need to do is click send. GNOME has a similar BugBuddy. Sending of crashes by mail is a somewhat different UseCase than what Swapnil just put out. Problems I encountered with Fedora 10 KDE4 Live CD: X wouldn't start. Knew that the problem was it was using the nv drivers which has problems with my stupid display card anyway, so I needed to set it to vesa. Again, you do realize that if you don't want to file a bug there are a bunch of fedora-* lists that you can post this too ? Who knows? Or should I file a bug report on non availability of system-config- display? If you did file a bug, someone from the bug triaging team would have taken some time to re-assign components if it were not properly filed. We could do with some bug triage love (and that's probably true for a lot of projects), but bugs do get triaged and assigned. So, just because someone hasn't filled a bug doesn't mean, he is too lazy to do it. It's often that he gets too confused while filing it. I know how Swapnil utilises his time at least -- goes and installs GNU/Linux on people's computer, who are otherwise not even familiar with the term operating system. Configures the system as per the person's requirements. Teaches him how to use the system. And tells him how to keep his system updated. Just because he doesn't know how to file a bug report doesn't make him a bad community member, does it? You know what ? Swapnil isn't your typical Linux desktop user (and by that yardstick neither are you). So, in spite of the fine tasks that he does by installing Linux desktops for folks, he does belong to the group that is involved with LFY. So, if someone from a magazine that pushes out a reasonable mix of technical and non-technical Linux content doesn't demonstrate the right way to do things on a mailing list - I call that a FAIL. Not a massive FAIL, but a FAIL. If he doesn't know how to file a bug or, does not want to that really isn't a big deal. I tend to meet a lot of folks who don't want to. It is just that. I wasn't really keen to question his competence or what he does with his time. Just that given the amount of time he has been posting/writing I tend to take it for granted that http://producingoss.com/en/bug-tracker.html isn't new for him. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Nope the mistake is mine and I did just point it out in a response to Atanu separately. And since I use Ubuntu I am registered member or Launchpad and have filed a few bug reports there -- but I am _not_ a techie. Also, I post here as Swapnil, who is a writer and a passionate GNU/Linux _user_. I will not appreciate anything pointing at my connections with LFY. Period. You do write technical content and knowing how software development in a FOSS scenario works is kind of expected. A writer and a passionate GNU/Linux user would be aware of how to ensure that his/her problems are logged into appropriate defect tracking systems *and* end up helping others - wouldn't you agree that it is the basis on which FOSS develops ? It is good to know that you do file bugs on LP. But, filing bugs does not require one a techie (whatever that may mean). So, if you are interested in strawman arguments feel free. I would not agree to the concept pushed across by Atanu and you that bug filing systems are not meant for users. They could do with enhancements and simplifications, but for that too you need to file requests.

Re: [ilugd] List of Corporates using Linux Desktops?
Chirag Anand wrote: I agree with everyone here...regarding FOSS companies. The reason that I raised this point is the recession that we are facing today. Nobody is sure of their placements in any company. The only ray of light that we see today is open source projects and FOSS companies. I believe you have got it wrong there. Open Source Projects or, FOSS companies are not folks who look appealing during a downturn. The moot point is that if you spend your time becoming a better programmer/developer, your skills are invaluable to any company. Free and Open Source Software (projects) provide you a much nicer way to become such a programmer. These kind of projects teach you most of the stuff that the rigor of academics might not be coaching you in - working with virtual teams, getting your code through peer review, building skills in communication, handling of version control systems etc. The curricula you read is aimed at teaching you the fundamental building blocks - what you build using them is completely up to you. However, FOSS companies have their stakeholders and they work in an environment that is somewhat different from the culture of non FOSS companies. Most of the time, hiring in FOSS companies are thus more quirky than in traditional ones. The current thinking of students is that if we are spending time on open source projects or even promoting Linux, should give us some fruits in the future. Otherwise, its considered a time waste. Then I'd say that the students are not very smart. Please read the above paragraph. You need to spend time to become better programmers. There isn't any other easy way to get a fulfilling job. So, my question is: 1. Should students start contributing to open source in a hope to get a job? They should start contributing and keep on contributing because practice makes you a better performer. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

A reason could be that FOSS companies don't recruit in the volumes that other companies of the SWITCH group do. I know for sure that my company doesn't recruit in that numbers. So, sometimes campus recruitment time isn't the best times to get talking with the Placement Cell. A company (and especially a FOSS company) has to have somewhat different parameters when selecting and interviewing candidates. Some of these include looking at an existing portfolio of code (hint: they want to see code that is available via some repository checkout, not some project that is sitting their on your HDD).
