Joining the BugZappers

Important Account Signups

1. Obtain a bugzilla account in Red Hat's Bugzilla

1. Obtain a Fedora Account

  • This is necessary to obtain additional permissions in bugzilla needed to triage bugs
  • It is necessary that the e-mail address used for your Bugzilla and Fedora accounts are the same

1. After successfully obtaining a Fedora account, view the fedorabugs group and apply to the group by clicking the Apply! button. 1. If you can commit to being a regular triager for the current release cycle, add your name to the Active Triagers page.

  • This is a simple reference so that package maintainers know who the triagers are
  • It also gives us a rough idea who is triaging bugs in which components
This does mean certain components are reserved. If you are unfamiliar with a component and someone is very active there, it is probably a good idea to pick a different component.

Communication

1. Join the fedora-test-list

1. Valuable communication and real time help happen in the chat channels on IRC.

  • Two useful channels to join are: #fedora-qa and #fedorabot on Freenode
  • Once you are all setup and ready to go drop by and say hello on #fedora-qa
  • #fedora-qa is also a good place to get help if you are having problems with the sign-up process
  • See and for more information on using IRC

1. Obtain wiki edit access

  • The Fedora Project Wiki (which is what you are reading from right now) is a useful place to store and retrieve information.
  • Obtaining wiki edit access gives you the ability to contribute too.
  • See WikiEditing for information to obtain wiki edit access--note this username and password are separate from your Fedora Account username and password.

1. Attend a Bug Triage Meeting .
