Bug Days are an excellent way to contribute to Mozilla's QA efforts.  It doesn't matter if you've been involved with Mozilla for years or if this is your first step into our amazing open source community. Anyone can participate and be a valuable contributor. We gather together at predetermined times to work on areas in Bugzilla. The exact area or topic for Bug Day may vary week to week. But the general idea is to work through some sort of bug list as a team.

[[Bugdays/Bug-Triage | Bug Triage]] days are generally Fridays.
In an effort to make Bug Days more accessible to interested folks around the globe, I've decided to split up Bug Day into three 2 hour sessions. Below is the schedule we'll use to catch East Asia, Europe and the USA in "prime time."
[[Bugdays/Bug-verification | Bug Verification]] days are on Wednesday!


*East Asia/Australia session: 8pm-10pm in Tokyo, Japan gmt+9
Join us in #testday and introduce yourself. In triaging, we go through newly reported bugs. For verification, we try to make sure that "fixed" bugs really are fixed. See you in #testday!

*Americas session: 9pm-11pm in N.Y., NY. gmt-5, 6pm-8pm in San Francisco, CA. gmt-8

FAQ

Where do I start? Each Bug Day topic will have a specific focus. Instruction on what needs to be done should be included in the QMO Bug Day Event post:

The following documentation is good to become familiar with for anyone trying to work in Bugzilla projects:

Note: If you don't have the necessary rights to make a change to a bug, add a comment to the bug detailing what should be changed and why. You can also make this known in the #bugday channel, and one of the moderators or an experienced volunteer will assist you.
