[ Session Name ] You Can Triage! How to pitch in to help open source projects. [ Primary Space ] Open Innovation [ Secondary Space ] Web Literacy

[ Submitter's Name ] Emma Humphries [ Submitter's Affiliated Organisation ] Mozilla [ Submitter's Github ] @emceeaich

What will happen in your session?

Bug triage is a critical part of open source projects. In this session, I'll teach participants about triaging bugs in open source projects in general and Firefox in particular. Participants will learn what makes a good bug, and how and when to take steps to improve a bug's quality, and what to do to get a bug in shape for a project maintainer to decide what to do with the bug.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

Someone with basic web literacy will be able to triage non-complex bugs in the Firefox project, and know what steps to take with more complicated bugs. They should also be able search Bugzilla for bugs which need triage and be able to edit them.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

I'll provide my own laptop, but will require a project.

Hi @emceeaich and @hossainalikram - I'm just having a look through your session and it says that you'll need a project in order to do the bug triage-ing. Do you mean that you'll solicit ideas from attendees? Can you have a short list of projects to work from just in case there aren't any suggestions?

[emceeaich]

We'll be using Firefox bugzilla issues as a default.
