Hi all, I'm back.

So, are there any vacancies on the Bug Squad?  I've signed up for
sourceforge (username: gperciva).  Other than that, my primary
interest remains in organization / mentoring new contributors.
Has anything changed in regards to that in the past four years?
Or shall I jump straight in?  I see that "Contributor 1.4 Mentors"
hasn't changed.

Anything else I should know?  I've skimmed the past month of this
mailing list.


(I was planning on waiting until the new year, but David's news
made me re-evaluate my health now, and I think I have the energy
to take on more stuff.  To make a long story short: depression,
burnout, quit academia, moved back to Vancouver, recovery.  Also,
started ballroom and swing dancing!  Great fun, absolutely
recommended, *especially* for other shy, socially anxious computer
geeks.  Despite that help, I'm still not 100% recovered, but I'm
content with my progress, and I think that doing more volunteer
work will help.)


Cheers,
- Graham

Excellent news that could not have come at a better time.

I vaguely fear so.  In spite of the Bug Squad's importance I've been
lousy at keeping track of it and motivating people.  So I suspect people
dropped out of the Squad silently because of not feeling useful or
appreciated.  I sure hope my vague handwavy impression will be proven
wrong here...


IIUC, I’m currently responsible for two of seven Bug Squad shifts, 
however I have not at all kept with the official guidelines, instead 
just taken action if it seemed necessary. E.g., I have to thank Federico 
for solely keeping up with verifying fixed issues. This is not at all 
related to anything you might have done or not done, David, but due to 
myself being busy with other things. I hope that we still succeeded as 
Bug Squad to keep at least some reliability.


Best, Simon
