About

The Sugar Labs BugSquad keeps track of current bugs in the Sugar software and tries to make sure that bugs are triaged and handled correctly. The team does not do testing itself. This is done by the downstream projects shipping Sugar. See testing.

You need only be interested in the programming process to be in the BugSquad; in fact it is a great way to return something to the Sugar community if you cannot program. If you have an interest in the programming and development process, you can learn a great deal from the communications of those involved. However, see this thread for what can happen if insufficient respect and deference is applied: http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@lists.laptop.org/msg18897.html.

The squad is modeled on the GNOME BugSquad: https://webstats.gnome.org/Bugsquad/

How bugs are tracked

We use trac to keep track of bugs in the Sugar software. The Sugar Labs trac instance can be found at bugs.sugarlabs.org.
See BugSquad/Bug Report for an introduction to bug reporting.
Other Linux distributions where Sugar runs have their own upstream bug tracking systems.

Upstream bugs

When you find a bug in a package we do not directly maintain, please report it upstream

How to join the squad

As mentioned above, virtually anyone can be helpful. Best way to get started is by reading the BugSquad/Triage Guide and to join us at #sugar on irc.freenode.net.

-== Mission ==
-{{:TestingTeam/Mission}}
-We are about to start a project to actively recruit volunteer testers for Sugar and Sugar Activities.  The vision is to have thousands of volunteers, world-wide, working in different languages and on different hardware platforms to "crowd-source" testing.
+The squad is modeled on the GNOME BugSquad: https://webstats.gnome.org/Bugsquad/
-Our first step will be to recruit high school teachers to engage students interested in community service and technology.
+== How bugs are tracked ==
-==Who is Working on this project?==
+* We use [http://trac.edgewall.org/ trac] to keep track of bugs in the Sugar software. The Sugar Labs trac instance can be found at [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org bugs.sugarlabs.org].
-* Caroline Meeks - Solution Grove volunteer
+* See [[BugSquad/Bug Report]] for an introduction to bug reporting.
-* Mel Chua - OLPC QA
+* Other Linux distributions where Sugar runs have their own [[BugSquad/Upstreaming_bugs|upstream]] bug tracking systems.
-* Olin College Curriculum Team - Sandra Lam
-==What is our plan?==
+== Upstream bugs ==
-# Recruit high school teachers with interested students
+When you find a bug in a package we do not directly maintain, please report it [[BugSquad/Upstreaming_bugs|upstream]]
-# Create a system for them to test and record bugs
-# Create curriculum to help teachers get them started and that align with curriculum standards
-==Secondary Goals==
+== How to join the squad ==
+As mentioned above, virtually anyone can be helpful. Best way to get started is by reading the [[BugSquad/Triage Guide]] and to join us at #sugar on irc.freenode.net.
-# Help publicity for G1G1
+== Subpages ==
-# Get experience creating and sharing standards based curriculum
-#* Potentially work with Curriki to distribute the curriculum

-The Testing team is the Quality Assurance (QA) team for Sugar. The team keeps track of current bugs in the sugar software and try to make sure that bugs are triaged correctly. Furthermore the squad does coordinate the testing efforts. You do not need any programming knowledge to be in the Bugsquad; in fact it is a great way to return something to the Sugar community if you cannot program.
