    This page contains information about the Goals of the QA/Team.


    Work In Progress by Joel and Robinson : This page is currently being drafted by Joel and Robinson... consider nothing on here canonical until we talk about it at a QA Meeting


    Why have Goals?

    The QA Team has chosen various goals in an attempt to create a fun and focused work environment. Having a written set of goals helps both the members of the Team and new visitors/contributors understand what we're aiming to accomplish.

    A specific set of goals makes it easier for people to join-in and feel a sense of purpose and accomplishment.

    The Goals

    There are many goals of the LibreOffice project, perhaps chief among them distributing a high-quality FLOSS office suite to everyone in the world. The QA Team has chosen several of its own goals:

    Triage all bugs within 60 days

    • Proposed by: Joel
    • Robinson agrees with the spirit of the goal (but is concerned about having enough warm bodies to make it happen)

    Provide a happy, fun, and respectful work environment

    • Proposed by: Robinson
    • (This might be more of a Rule than a Goal...)
    • A happy and fun work environment will encourage more people to join our merry band.
    • Being respectful of others is key to making everyone feel welcome. Coincidentally, this will probably encourage more people to contribute (Hmm...I sense a trend).

    Make meetings accessible and transparent to all

    • Proposed by: Joel, Robinson
    • Get as many past meetings as possible in new wiki format, including agendas + minutes
    • Make sure that people can access the meeting (via phone, Skype, computer, IRC, etc...)

    How to Add/Remove/Change Goals

    • Go to a QA Meeting and propose some changes!
