Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online with the irc logs at http://live.gnome.org/JavierJardon/Bugsquad
==== Old untouched bugs ==== * What they are and how to close them DISCUSSED: Bugs with more than 1 year without any activity (excluding enhancement requests) -> set NEEDINFO state -> 6 weeks without response -> close as INCOMPLETE ACTION: AndreKlapper will do a new stock response for this case. He will warn the reporter that he has 6 weeks to respond before the bug being closed. ==== NEEDINFO bugs ==== * how long before closing them as INCOMPLETE DISCUSSED: 6 weeks ==== Use of the NEW status ==== * use NEW for TRIAGED instead of CONFIRMED * PROS: easier triage, reporters don't feel like nobody takes care of their issue * CONS: some developers don't like it when triagers set their bugs to NEW DISCUSSED: No changes (NEW=CONFIRMED) ==== Should we use NOTABUG resolution ==== * how to deal with suggestion requests * brainstorm.gnome.org is not a good idea for GNOME * keep NOTABUG resolution current use DISCUSSED: no changes ==== Discuss the severity and priority fields ==== * kill priority field? (a bit confusing for novices, is really useful?) * some developers use these fields to better organize their bugs DISCUSSED: no changes ==== Kill VERIFIED and CLOSED status ==== * a developer closes as FIXED, a reporter then closes as VERIFIED, a product manager then closes as CLOSED * not frequently used in GNOME DISCUSSED: no changes ACTION: AndreKlapper and JavierJardon will update stock responses to ask reporters to verify the fix after it has landed in distribution. ==== What to do with bugs about deprecated modules? ==== DISCUSSED: 1) Talk to maintainer first and get agreement (CC bugsquad list) 2) Add a warning comment that module is now deprecated and to please check against potential new module and set status to NEEDINFO 3) Otherwise close 6 weeks later if untouched, set flag obsolete-module-2009 or something else ACTIONS: - SusanaPereira contact debian-gnome - SusanaPereira upgrade list of deprecated modules in bugzilla - JavierJardon make a table with deprecated modules and their maintainers. See http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad/DeprecatedModules and http://live.gnome.org/ThomasAndersen/CvsCleanup - AndreKlapper make a "stock email" to contact maintainers ==== Next Meeting ==== * Next meeting will be in September (one month from now) ACTION: TobiasMueller set a new date for next meeting using doodle Cheers, Susana Pereira _______________________________________________ Gnome-bugsquad mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-bugsquad
