Bugsquad Roadmap
The bug triaging community uses a variety of tools and processes to facilitate the triage of bug reports. During the Natty cycle tools used by the community - includingi wiki documentation, apport, Launchpad greasemonkey scripts and Launchpad itself will be updated to make bug triaging easier. The process of joining the Ubuntu Bug Control team will modified slightly to more clearly define what is being looked for and recognition of those joining the team will be made. The current mentorship program for bug triaging is struggling somewhat so a trial of creating a team of mentors and mentees will be made to see if that improves the program. The Ubuntu hall of fame will also be utilized to recognize the work of those performing bug triage and specific activities within triaging.

Whiteboard
* Mentorship program:
* Improvements to the mentorship program to avoid long delay before a student being affected to a mentor,
* Short response time and interactivity with the students during mentoring to keep them motivated.
* Have group of 2 to 3 mentors working with a small group of students instead of having a 1-1 relation between student and mentor
* IRC as a requirement to subscribe to the program.
* The Launchpad database actually has nothing more informative in it. The karma table keeps track of the project / distribution / package where the karma was accrued but not information about specific bugs.
