QA/Goals

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

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
Suggestions here? The current method is:
 * Go to a QA Meeting and propose some changes!
