Thread:Talk:Groups/Proposals/Bug Squad/How to evaluate Bug Days?/reply (2)

The question about the aim is a good one. :)

The ultimate goal is to get more people involved in bug triaging, isn't it. Indicators:


 * Getting more people contributing to Bug Days, ideally until reaching a point when none of us is really needed to run a successful new Bug Day. How to count bug days contributors? How many did we have in the last one?
 * Getting more people contributing regularly to bug triaging, ideally until reaching a point when you don't need to spend most of your time on the bugs themselves? The Bug Squad membership is one data (and we got one new person signing up!). Maybe Bugzilla stats can help finding out how many triagers do we have?

Another goal is to be able to organize Bug Days without much overhead organizing, promoting etc. I think we are doing quite well here already.

And another one is that the people interested in the specific area of the Bug Day are aware and get involved. This comes from focused promotion in the right channels and... mailing the affected Bugzilla users? I started linking to the event in the bug reports comments whenever there was something worth commenting and I think the results were moderately positive.
