Hello everyone, I’m Adolfo (~fitoschido), a Ubuntu Member and Bug Squad member since 2012-01-17, but I started triaging bugs before that. I’d wish to have a more “important” role while triaging, and after being motivated by Jono Bacon’s Accomplishments System [1], I’m mailing my application to this list. I hope you consider me!

See Bugs/HowToTriage for more information. Sensitive user data not related to the crashing program, such as passwords, account details, DVD CSS keys and the like.

As I’m a translator, I work a lot with l10n bugs, which usually are assigned to the relevant language l10n team so they are notified. It would be easier for me to assign relevant l10n teams to a certain bug if I were a Bug Control member. (These days I always have to wait for ~dpm or ~kelemeng to do this, making triaging process slower and delaying a potential fix from these l10n teams) Aside that, I also work with “regular” (i.e. non-l10n-related) bugs for unity and some gnome programs. I review bug descriptions, then I try to reproduce them, and then I ask for more information or confirm them, as appropriate. I can also apply tags to certain bugs so developers can find them more easily. Recently I have seen many reports not in English. I understand Spanish, a language on which many reports by newbies are written. When I find a bug report in Spanish, I ask the reporter to translate it to English with a standard reply from the Bugs/Responses wiki page; but I can also directly translate the report, as some of these reporters do not have the necessary English-language skills. > 5.

I think you can have a better notion of my work if you check out my bug trail [2]. But this is a requisite, so: “Spinner has light grey background on field with white background”: http://pad.lv/1077903 This is a simple visual bug on Apport, easily confirm-able. I would give this a importance of “Low”, since it does not affect the functionality of Apport nor it does impede its usage. “‘You should restart Firefox now’ popup is not translated”: http://pad.lv/1074663 This bug affects all users of Firefox who don’t speak English, and as such it does impact accessibility. It has moderate impact on a core app, so it should have “Medium” importance. “Add a button ‘Translate this description’ to crowdsource Package translations”: http://pad.lv/1061489 This is a Wishlist, as it’s a request to add a new feature. “Nunca reconoce bien el monitor”: http://pad.lv/1075896 This is a bug written in Spanish. I asked the reporter to translate it, because it refers to a display issue which I can’t reproduce ATM. If it can be confirmed, it should have High importance (as it would affect an essential hardware component) “Restart-required message is out of date”: http://pad.lv/1048576 This bug was reported by ~mpt as a usability bug, which should have Low importance. I triaged it as affecting Ubuntu Translations because the problem was in the en_GB translation, which ~mpt and British people use. -- [1]: http://213.138.100.229:8000/gallery/opportunities/ubuntu-community/ubuntu-bugcontrol-member [2]: http://search.gmane.org/?query=&author=Adolfo%20Jayme%20Barrientos%20&group=gmane.linux.ubuntu.bugs.general&sort=date&DEFAULTOP=and Regards. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
