While I think helping with bug triage is a useful thing, I think there can be a longer feedback loop between getting a bug to a complete state and having it fixed by a developer. Subsequently, I think it might be more rewarding to work on a process with a shorter feedback loop like the verification of Stable Release Updates. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/#Verification I've some experience with this process ;-) and as a member of the Stable Release Updates team can release the SRU immediately (provided its aged for 7 days) after the verification of the bug is done. It seems to me this would be more rewarding as one could say I got this bug fixed in a stable release of Ubuntu today! Looking at the pending Stable Release Updates we can see there are plenty of things to verify. http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html Another nice thing is people who aren't running the development release will have something to do. (Yes, you can improve bugs if you aren't running the development release, but you can't really test to see if they exist in it.) Either way I'm happy to help with either or both activities. -- Brian Murray
