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

Welcome to the IRC office hour about Bugzilla and 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: With regard to the task list and plans for next months, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Task_list  Does that feel right to you?
 * Update the IRC channel topic; channel MUST announce that it is being publicly logged
 * Explain what will happen this hour, ask who is around:
 * Talk about achievements since the last office hour
 * Highlight a few plans and explain
 * Then open general questions and discussion etc.

After

 * Append  
 * Update IRC office hours by moving the entry under "Recent office hours", and add a link to the log in its "Office hour logs" section.
