Bug management/Office hours how-to

This page explains how to run IRC Office Hours on bug management.

Before

• Add an entry to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours
• Announce on appropriate mailing lists a day before (e.g. wikitech-l@ for bug management office hours).
• Ten minutes before it starts, also announce on IRC in #mediawiki, #mediawiki-dev, #mediawiki-office and any other appropriate IRC channels

In

• Update the IRC channel topic; channel MUST announce that it is being publicly logged
• Explain what will happen this hour, ask who is around:

Welcome to the IRC office hour about bug management that will take place here in the next hour! Thanks for showing up!
I plan to talk a bit about the latest stuff that has been worked on, and plans for the future.
General info and documentation can be found on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management as usual.
So who is here for the office hour? Please raise your hands. :)
What I've been doing lately is shown on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/status 
but I am going to summarize and elaborate on the most interesting latest stuff:

• Talk about achievements since the last office hour

With regard to the task list and plans for next months, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Task_list

• Highlight a few plans and explain

Does that feel right to you?

• Then open general questions and discussion etc.

After

• Copy and paste the IRC log into a new page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours/Office_hours_2024-12-21
  • Enclose the text within the Poem tag ( <poem> ... </poem>) to preserve line endings. (Some logs use the syntaxhighlight or source tag but that doesn't format hyperlinks; bugzilla:50824 requests readable IRC log formatting.)
  • Append [[Category:IRC office hours]]
• Update m:IRC office hours by moving the entry under "Recent office hours", and add a link to the log in its "Office hour logs" section.
