QA/Community/Bug Day
Welcome to the Mozilla QA Community Bug Day wiki!!
When Asa changed his focus to marketing and spreadfirefox, a huge void in QA was left behind. Mozilla QA would like to try to fill some of that void by reviving weekly community Bug Days. I'll be in #qa every Tuesday from 12:00pm to 4:00pm Pacific Daylight Time to coordinate and guide your efforts in the bug topic of the week. I'll be scheduling a guest Dev or QA member to join us each week as well.
For those of you unfamiliar with Bug Days; a topic or area of focus is selected by the host, me. :-) Then with all your help, we'll attempt to complete as much of the task as possible. Bug Days is 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.
