Hello all OE/Yocto enthusiasts! https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/
It has been noted that the number of unresolved issues in our bugzilla has been rising which, if left unchecked, will lead to an ever-increasing bug count. In an effort to raise awareness of the number of unresolved bugs and work to reduce them, we'd like to plan a "bug squashing weekend" for this upcoming Friday to Monday (January 17th to 20th, 2014). If you work with OE/Yocto during the week then you'll have two days to look at issues, or if you have more time on weekends you'll also have two potential days for this activity. It would be nice if anyone involved in OE/Yocto could take some time between now and Monday to have a look at the bugzilla database and consider contributing towards reducing the number of opened issues. Obviously if you're a maintainer or some sort of a developer there are, most likely, obvious issues you could consider addressing. But there are also lots of issues an OE/Yocto "user" could investigate as well -- for example there are documentation issues, there are several issues in the "NEEDINFO" state, and sometimes just being able to reproduce a bug (or not) and confirm (or not) that an issue can be demonstrated on more than one host can be valuable information for the person who does eventually get assigned to solve the problem. Please take the opportunity to have a look at the opened issues in the bugzilla database. If you don't have an account, please consider signing up. Play with the "Search" capability (you'll probably want to try an advanced search, https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/query.cgi?format=advanced) and see if there are issues to which you might want to contribute. In an effort to keep multiple people from working on the same issues during this sprint, please let the community know on which bugs you'd like to work. You could reply to this email (keeping all the mailing lists CC'ed), and/or you could re-assign a bug to yourself. There are usually plenty of friendly, knowledgeable people around who can help. You can use the mailing lists, IRC channels, or bugzilla itself to communicate. https://www.yoctoproject.org/tools-resources/community Thanks for your participation! :-) https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/ _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
