There is a organisation of dauntless volunteers at the Symbian Foundation which have the aspiration of anticipating and stealing any bug left in the height code. A rsther than wily pursuit though, given as we all know, there have been no bugs in Symbian OK, I’m jocking. Of march there have been bugs in the software, though there have been couple of of them after any assembly of the Bug Squad . We see reports of such bugs any right away and then, and here at Forum Nokia we have a dedicated feedback channel by which we entice we to send us we bug reports. But right away which the handling complement source formula is entirely open, there is an even improved approach of confronting this pest: approach combat. And we can do your partial too. The Squad is a practical one. No grave focus is required, no education check. You can stick on it by simply adding your name to a list in the wiki, and by introducing yourself on the IRC channel. You do not even have to be a developer in sequence to participate, testers have been acquire as well – be they professionals or small ardent power-users. Working in practical teams, and focusing on a single package/component/application at the time, any proffer can minister by identifying a bug, suggesting a improved approach of implementing a feature, or essentially regulating and afterwards verifying the identified bug. Serious work, though fun too. Reporting a bug gains we a ” bullion silver “, regulating it will move we 3 such tokens. And if we get to pick up 81 bullion coins, we will benefit the “back gecko” title, and community’s respect. Sounds similar to a fun diversion to fool around right? So, what do we say? Will we stick on the squad? The subsequent exam day is scheduled for 24.05.2010 and it is focusing on the Organizer package, we can find the movement devise for this day here . A rsther than tighten call to movement though do not be concerned if we cannot stick on them now, we can stay up to date with arriving events and the swell finished by the group by on vacation their wiki page at http://tiny.symbian.org/bugsquad and to illustrate be ready for the subsequent rounds.
