All, Have you ever had sound problems on Ubuntu (and Linux, in general)?
Have you ever lost the *critical* piece, that would make the whole conversation understandable, to static? Have you -- like my humble self -- considered the plethora of sound-related pieces a gigantic maze, with no rules known? Not that not knowing the rules would matter, since they seem to change continuously... Do you -- again, like my humble self -- get surprised when sounds *does* work? If all of the above, or even a single one, applies to you... then YOU can help! We are about to go on a Class About Sound [1]. Daniel T Chen has graciously accepted a request from Bug-Control, and will be giving a class on how to _triage_ sound bugs. Given that sound bugs have been a major user experience headache, triaging sound bugs is, I believe, a major roadblock for us [2]. So, it is set! We will have a "Triaging Sound Bugs" next Friday -- courtesy of Daniel, and the magnificent folks that manage the Ubuntu Classroom IRC channel. Date: Friday, August 28th, at 22:00 UTC Location: irc.ubuntu.org, channel #ubuntu-classroom Duration: 90 minutes (estimated) Presenter: Daniel T Chen (IRC: dtchen) Thank you. I do hope a lot of us get to be there -- we do need the help! Cheers, ..Carl.. [3] IRC: hggdh p.s. A *HUGE* THANK YOU to Daniel, for giving up yet another hour of his life to help us. And, of course, to the -classroom folks, for allowing us to use the channel. p.p.s. I do apologise for this late announcement, but... such is life. ------------ [1] Unfortunately, just the sound bugs triaging part, right now. Before we get sound really, *really* working, we must understand what is broken. Then, with the help of correctly triaged bugs, we can work out the failures, and get Sound Working As It Should (TM). On the other hand, if you get to understand how to triage sound issues, you will probably have far less issues with sound ;-) [2] please keep in mind that one can only *solve* a problem after: (1) understanding *what* is the problem (if any at all); (2) finding *how* the problem manifests itself; (3) finding *where* the problem lies. Amazingly enough for some people, this all depends on a correct triage. [3] As luck would have it, I will, myself, be absent: at this time I will be traveling home, after a week's work. I would like to ask for a moderator, to field questions to Daniel. Please email me, or IRC me, this week, so we can set it up.
