  • Meetings: when/if
    • schedule weekly triage meetings (especially to get people started, but things should be setup so that triaging happens async, because it needs to be a continuous)
    • at #sugar-meeting
  • Sprints: when/if
    • after releases
    • at #sugar-meeting
  • Do we need a dedicated mailing list?
    • No, we mostly have announcements and use tags for cases like: "I was triaging bug #567 but didn't know what to do?"
    • sugar-devel - [bugsquad] and [bugsquad][announce]
    • wiki note: "you can always triage at any time, and if you'd like to schedule your own sugar triage sprint, please do and announce it $here! if you're new and want help getting started but can't make a sprint, ask $here_2."
    • irc questions at #sugar
  • Create a list of concrete tasks we expect the BugSquad to do regularly

    • add components, tags, milestones
    • triage tickets
    • provide feedback on how to improve bug advocacy on a ticket, when requested. ("How could I have written this bug report better / which developers should I ping on it"?)

      • the bug gets in
