How to get help, how to get started, and schedule for Bugdays.

Bug days are conducted to reduce the number of UNCOnfirmed bugs in the bugzilla database, and to improve the quality of the bugs in the database.

Focus

Rejuvenating old bugs is our focus. Please give these bugs boost:

Notes:

• Spreadsheet of bugday results is compiled and updated after each session / bugday.
• The letter Q stands for the query with all the appropriate criteria, which over time may differ from the results that have been logged.
• [1] Session and period time includes 30mins before and after the official time period, so as to include early and late/spill over activity.
• [2] A resolution change may be non-terminal, for example a bug may have been reopened.
