This is a caveat that we (Greg) came across the problems mentioned earlier in preparing 1.4 for the bug bash which not only prevent him from publishing the screencast about filing issues in JIRA announced for today but also could impact the bug bash planned for next week. We'll keep you updated - expect to hear from us on Monday.

Some clarifications to start with: The bug bash is a coordinated effort to identify bugs and flaws in the 1.4 release. It's not about fixing bugs and it's not a developers' thing. Everyone can participate and we'll try to make it as easy as it can be. The goal is to identify a maximum number of bugs in a coordinated effort - and this is where the developers then come into play. Participants who can patch an issue easily should feel free to attach patches, but this is by no means required. In order to do this in an orderly fashion and to provide a controlled environment, Greg Logan, our QA manager, has set up http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MH/QA+Status as a point of reference - more details to follow on how to use this during the bug bash. Greg will also set up a number of VM for participants to use. People will then get assignments in the form of things to test in different areas and report any bug or problem they come across. For this, Greg will also provide a screencast on how to report bugs by the end of this week. Tuesday next week (August 14th) will see an initial meeting to coordinate efforts beyond what is being described here. We'll meet at 3 p.m. UTC/GMT (5 p.m. CET, 11 a.m. EDT, 8 a.m. PDT; the normal weekly developers' meeting will need to move, those interested in that should look on the matterhorn@ email list for more details). By the end of that meeting, everyone should know what to do and work will proceed locally. In order for questions to be answered and to have a progress report, we'll also meet on Wednesday at the same time. Thursday then will see the final meeting to wrap up things. All meetings happen in our BBB meeting room at http://matterhorn.bigbluebutton.org/matterhorn/ (Opencast Matterhorn -1 (recorded); password is "welcome"). Grouping As indicated, we would like different people to look into different areas, in order to avoid developers testing their "own" contributions and to cater for institutional preferences. Here's the initial grouping I made up based on your feedback (sorry if the formatting goes wrong here): Auth: Olli Salo (not confirmed); Markus Ketterl Admin UI, Recordings Tab, CA Tab, Series Tab, Statistics Tab: Earl Schellhous, Charlie Turner Capture Agent: Kevin Chan, Stuart Phillipson LTI: Leslaw Zieleznik (only Tuesday?); UCT? OAIPMH: Entwine Trim, Export: Olaf A. Schulte, Michelle Ziegmann Streaming: Adam McKenzie Upload: Sergio Feria Workflows: Entwine, Markus Borzechowski Search: Pawel Fic, Michal Bryk Scripts, Scheduling: Rüdiger Rolf Documentation: Mike Nardell, Greg Logan Wild card: Brian O'Hagan Please let me know whether this suits you. If your name is missing (Jonathan Eva e.g.) or if you can participate despite indicating differently in the doodle, please contact us. Also, let us know if you're not available. Finally, a heads-up that the date next week depends on some technical problems being solved. If this turns out to be more difficult than we consider it at this stage, we might have to postpone the bug bash for a week, which might result in some re-grouping due to individual availability. Thanks for your help with this. Feel free to raise issues and ask questions, on list or to Greg, Brian, and myself. If there's need for further clarification, we could add a meeting on Monday. And, I should mention that this is a competitive effort also. There are some prizes available for those to report the maximum number of bugs and - just a thought - for reporting the most original bug. Details to be discussed on Tuesday. Hope to see you there! Regards The bug bash team (Greg, Michelle, Brian, Olaf A.)

Just a friendly reminder as we will soon move to finalize plans: If you have yet to do so already, please indicate your availability for participating in the Matterhorn 1.4 bug bash [1], [2] at https://ethz.doodle.com/skeq9tspndvc8ef9 and register at http://fwd4.me/16Qq if you can make at least one of the slots. And if there's any way you can facilitate their taking part locally by treating them to coffee, (soft) drinks or anything that is appropriate for your time zone, that would be great! We will come back to the list to set a date and inform you about the details. If you want to know more about the bug bash beforehand, feel free to contact the Matterhorn QA Manager Greg Logan (CC). He will of course send more details to the lists prior to the meeting. Thank you for your support, The Opencast Board [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_bash.
