I don't agree that supporting ubuntu isn't a prime objective. It's listed in the wiki right next to promote. The bug jam is a cool idea, I did a bit of triaging years ago. It was fun, but challenging because there was a lot of competition to triage the easily triaged bugs. The bugs left over were much harder. So, getting guidance will be great. -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

It creates the perfect opportunity for me to explain my reasoning for proposing Ubuntu-AU BugJams. I totally agree that this (a bugjam) is not one of the "prime objectives" of a Loco. I also understand that this does not promote Ubuntu to the wider "non-Ubuntu" community. However, that is not really my reason for proposing that we (as a Loco) participate in BugJams. In the response from the Loco Council regarding our re-approval application [1] there were a lot of points made regarding what we need to do better. Amongst other things, it was noted that current members feel that they are unable to contribute, the Australian Loco is perceived as being inactive, there is a waning number of active members, etc. etc. BugJams will help to address these issues & are also one part of the team building process that will hopefully start to re-establish our sense of actually being a Loco Team. The whole idea behind this is to start working collaboratively as a team. There are a number of other ideas that were discussed at the last meeting [2] that will also help with team building. I feel that once we can start successfully working together as a team within the Ubuntu Community we will be in a better position to collaboratively promote Ubuntu to the wider Australian community (which definitely is one of the prime objectives of a Loco). These proposed BugJams are important as they will truly help Ubuntu, however they are also part of a bigger plan to help this Loco to get "back on track". I hope this explanation helps people to better understand the reasoning behind these BugJams & other team building exercises that will hopefully be happening in the near future.

RE: Proposal - Ubuntu-AU BugJams
Im certainly interested in this idea, its easy to do, helps ubuntu out, and helps the ubuntu-au members to get to know each other.
