Goal

The output of the bug triage meeting should be that all bugs have an owner, a target milestone, and a priority.

Prior to the meeting, each Product Owner should review their Weekly New and High Bugs and be ready with any opens. An example open would be a bug that may need to change Products.

Roles

  • Call facilitator: Stephen Jolley (sjolley.yp.pm@gmail.com)
    • Ensure we keep to the agenda, don't rathole on bug resolution, and stay within our time block.
  • Team Leads should pre-triage bugs for their areas of responsibility. Some guidelines on what they should/shouldn't do are:
    • a) Pre-triage should happen in the presence of the appropriate team lead,
    • b) The bugs being pre-triaged should be the responsibility of the team in question.
    • c) The pre-triage team should be confident when dis-positioning the bugs, taking into account the individual's workload.
    • d) If the bug raises any doubt or needs information prior, defer it to the main bug triage team.
    • e) To insure a bug is triaged by the main bug triage team; set its priority to Undecided.

Agenda

  • Review Queries
    • State number, title, and owner
    • Owner makes any modifications
    • Assign owner, target milestone, and priority.
  • Opens
    • Collect opens
    • Discuss opens


Bug Triage Order

  • Note/Suggestion for the Weekly Triage Meeting: Open the first link in a new browser window and then each additional link in a new tab in that new window. Close the new window when the triage meeting is done.

Bug Criteria

  • Priority-Severity
    • High: Two Week - shouldn't slip to next milestone without review by Triage team.
    • Medium+: Milestone Target Required
    • Medium: Nice to have for milestone, should have for release
    • Low: Nice to have, but no urgency
  • Future bugs and enhancements are a good idea to do, but not able in the near term to get fixed or done.
    • If you want to work on them, please talk first to the existing owner or change the ownership to yourself if unassigned or newcomer.
      • Note: we have a special owner - newcomer@yoctoproject.org - which we think would be great opportunities for a newcomer to open source to start learning on.
  • Special Case: Medium+ and Future Enhancement or Bug - These are a good idea and important to do, but not currently scheduled at this time.
    • If you want to work on them, please talk first to the existing owner or change the ownership to yourself if unassigned or newcomer.
      • Note: we have a special owner - newcomer@yoctoproject.org - which we think would be great opportunities for a newcomer to open source to start learning on.
