Houston, we have a problem

• Bug or Feature Request?• What is JIRA?• Check in JIRA, create if missing• Give details and answer questions• Provide or check fixes

March 2010 2European Sakai Conference – Valencia - Spain..

Share and Enjoy

• Understand your target audience (internal, external)• Do not work alone• Follow the best practices• Follow the Product Council criteria• Provide support (JIRA, distribution lists)


All for one, one for all, that is our motto

• Subscribe to relevant mailing lists• Participate• Do not bite more than you can chew


If it ain't broke don't fix it

• Why do we need the MT?• What are they doing?• Do they need help?


Bon appétit !

• Why do we need good i18n?• Why do we need good L10n?• What can I do?


Quality is never an accident

• What is Software Quality Assurance?• Testing (manual/automated) • Bug verification• Test conditions & scripts• Where do I sign up?


I'll be right back

• Local differs from Official Sakai• Locals can have shared needs• Differences imply different QA• Differences imply different support• Lasting differences imply patching again


That's where the fruit is

• What's a maintenance branch?• What's a "preparation" branch?• What is branch management?


Is it edible?

• What is the test coverage?• What are the known bugs by priority?• How far do we trust the current code?• How do we act to improve this?
