To confirm, are you looking for a way to obtain a list of Bugzilla
URLs for a Product-Component pair where the status is not "RESOLVED"?

If so, the advanced search option should allow you to generate a list
and, probably save the query for further runs.

And, my question was in context of
<http://cis-india.org/openness/resources/access-to-knowledge-work-plan>
and, the goals that you've mentioned.

Where is the overlap in goals and activities to achieving the goals
when put in context of regional efforts like CIS/A2K in India (as an
example)?

May I suggest that the column for location also have the TZ (or, UTC
offset noted). Or, perhaps the "availability hours" as agreed upon by
the student-mentor pair.

It usually does. At least interested students tend to assume as much.

Another relevant example would be The Fedora Project. There are Fedora
Activity Days and, then there are events like FUDCon - there exist
documentation on the wiki about how the events are named and handled.

A small suggestion would be to increase the keystroke combinations
involved in the test in order to cover a greater number of valid
conjuncts and also note ease of use for entry.

QA activity days often lead to a large number of duplicate issues
being filed. The bugmaster (I'm assuming this is Andre) should
probably have a say in whether there is capacity built in to handle
de-duplication either manually or, automatically.

The other thought I had was about the layered personas being created
for the team. Since Chris points out later in this thread that QA is a
relatively "new concept", being egalitarian would have a much higher
chance at a larger percentage of committed members of a QA group.

Atlassian provides
<http://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/overview> as a service to
selected FOSS/Libre projects besides making it available as a
commercial tool. You may want to give that a try as well.
