> G'day Melb.pm and p5p,
>
> Here's the long overdue report on the great Melbourne Perl Mongers bug triage.
>
> We managed to properly triage an estimated 68 tickets at Melbourne Perl
> Mongers (many thanks to Myf White for calculating this), along with about 14
> which would have been completely triaged if I had all the meta-tickets
> properly set up.  That's about 82 tickets total, which is pretty darn
> awesome for a single night and not the world's best wireless access[1].  A
> huge thank-you to all the Melbourne.pm volunteers!
>
> If you want to run your own triage event, then here's a few recommendations:
>
> * Work in pairs or small groups.
>
> * Make sure meta-tickets are well-known beforehand.
>  On http://rt.perl.org/rt3/ these currently are:
>
>        * RT 69710 - Perl 5.12.0 - Showstoppers
>        * RT 70369 - Perl 5.12.0 - Expert assessment required
>        * RT 70421 - Perl 5.12.0 - Non-critical
>        * RT 70371 - Perl 5.005  - End of life
>        * RT 70373 - Perl 5.6.x  - End of life
>
> * Have someone on-hand to give people privileges.  Not everyone will have
>  them sorted out beforehand.
>
> * It's nice to have 5.10.1 floating around. A lot of old (5.6.x)
>  bugs can just be closed if it's fixed in the most recent
>  release.
>
> * Break list of bugs into chunks and hand to each group.  This avoids
>  double-triage of bugs.
>
> * Go through an example or two as a group on a projector first, if you
>  can.
>
> All the best,

> [1] Federation square wifi allows outgoing http, but nothing else.
>    No easy hopping on IRC.
