[Bugsquad] How can we grow?

[Michael Leupold]

Hi,

looking at our current state of activity and the soon to start ongoing triage 
experiment for kdepim brings me back to the old question:
How can we attract new people to join Bugsquad?

I've been trying to raise some attention by blogging but as far as I can tell 
that has only attracted some people on some of the bugdays. Overall I wouldn't 
really call it successful.

The website project is also still ongoing but due to very little time on my 
part I couldn't push it forward during the last two weeks and I don't know 
when it will be finished, so I wouldn't count on that.

Well, I've been talking to Mario on IRC today and we tried to remember how the 
both of us got involved in Bugsquad. Basically on my part it was some blogging 
mostly by Aaron on the way to KDE4 (krush) that got my intention. I was 
continuously compiling trunk and - having quite some issues - decided I wanted 
to help increase the overall quality of KDE. Then when the next bugdays 
appeared I jumped aboard.
So it seems it was mostly the well respected "big guys" blogging that got me 
motivated in the first place.

I'd love for some of you to share your stories. Maybe we can find some common 
pattern and establish a way to increase our manpower (like bribe Aaron with 
candy to blog about us :)).

Regards,
Michael
