| Laibsch | has it become acceptable policy for bug triagers to close tickets as invalid where the OP cannot provide requested information because it requires being in a special location to trigger a bug and the OP is no longer there? | 09:45 |
|---|---|---|
| Laibsch | as in "close two or three days after the original report". | 09:45 |
| Laibsch | Hobbsee no longer hangs out in this channel? | 09:48 |
| hjd | Could someone mark bug 925005 Triaged/High (Prevents the application or any dependencies from functioning correctly at all). See also the latest comment if you have an idea what the difference might be which trigger this bug on Ubuntu, but not on Debian. | 13:55 |

| penguin42 | I assume that it's OK to close bug 159495 as EoL - it was reported on Hardy, the package was removed after Hardy, and it's a (universe) Gui package so I assume doesn't land in the LTS supported that ends in April 2013 for Hardy server? | 16:14 |

| Robin2258 | so, I'm curious about applying to Bug Squad as I think it would be good "professional development". | 22:43 |
| Robin2258 | any advice? Has anyone found that being on the bug squad has helped them become better software testers, software quality pros? | 22:45 |
| penguin42 | it's interesting | 22:45 |
| Robin2258 | how so? | 22:46 |
| penguin42 | triaging bugs certainly helps you see the range of different problems that can occur; although you don't necessarily see the details about what line of code caused them | 22:46 |
| Robin2258 | makes sense. Has the experience translated into not necessarily something to put on a resume, but made you a better software tester or software quality professional? | 22:48 |
| penguin42 | a bit difficult to tell - I've been a softie for so long | 22:49 |
| penguin42 | I think the experience of seeing the ways things break is good to know how to design things not to break | 22:49 |
| Robin2258 | that's promising. | 22:49 |
| Robin2258 | I don't know, hoping that something like bug squad would translate into "extra curricular" professional development if that makes sense. | 22:53 |
| penguin42 | Robin2258: Well, that depends what you're into - I mean the other type of thing is if you're actually a dev then go help out on a package upstream, go fix the bugs | 22:55 |
| Robin2258 | well, mostly code reviews, code inspection. | 22:57 |
| penguin42 | do you do reviews/inspection without any of the writing? | 23:00 |
| Robin2258 | well yeah, the author can't be in charge of his own review. | 23:03 |
| penguin42 | Robin2258: Right, but normally what I've seen is for each author to review someone elses | 23:04 |
| Robin2258 | okay. | 23:06 |
