Re: Fwd: Seeking Bugzilla Admin Volunteers
Hi TJ, My real-world job changed on the 1st December 2011 (I moved company), and Bugzilla is no longer part of my day-to-day role, but I guess I still remember most of what I knew! If I can be of assistance I'd be pleased to help. My bugzilla ID is thegur...@openoffice.org. Regards, Dave. On 13/01/12 10:19, tj wrote: Hi, David, Per below, Rob is going to push this. If you're still interested, it would be *very* nice to have an admin like you, who knows what to do and how to do it. --/tj/ Original Message Subject: Seeking Bugzilla Admin Volunteers Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:16:31 -0500 From: Rob Weir robw...@apache.org Reply-To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org As far as I have been able to determine, no one in the project seems to have the ability to do anything in our Bugzilla instance beyond the basic operations that any member of the public is able to do. We need to get a handful of people to have some elevated permissions to edit bugs, edit components, etc., so we can manage the quality process for the upcoming 3.4 release. I'll enter a JIRA issue asking that myself, and whichever other committers want to be included, be added to a group that will have the following additional Bugzilla permissions: - editbugs - editcomponents - canconfirm - editkeywords Having these additional permissions will especially be critical for those engaging in QA, I think. I'm not sure if Infra will do it (security concerns, etc.), but it would also be good to have one or two admin-level committers, with the editusers permission, so they can enable the above permissions for other users without going through Infra. So if you want to be on the initial batch, please respond to this note and let me know what your Bugzilla ID is. This is not necessarily the same as your Apache ID. And if you don't yet have a Bugzilla account for the project, you can request one here: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/ Thanks! -Rob

I already have some elevated permissions for Documentation project bugs. I will try to make contact with David McKay, to see if he's still interested. It would be nice to have an admin who actually knows what to do. I'd consider him as already volunteered per his previous statements. Do you know his Bugzilla ID? -Rob -- /tj/ I'm still interested and available, real-world job permitting. I'm in the UK time-zone if that has any bearing on anything. Dave.
