Contributing to KDE is easier than you think – Bug triaging
Today, 2021-01-28, is the Plasma Beta Review Day for Plasma 5.21, that is to say, Plasma 5.20.90. Right now it’s a bit after 2 a.m., so after this I’m going to bed so I can be present later.
This month I’ve mostly been enjoying my post-job vacation as last year I was bordering burnout. As such I didn’t help much.
Before bed I’ll be providing a few things I’ve learned about triaging, though. While this blog post isn’t specifically about the Beta Review Day, this should make the general bug triaging process clearer for you, making it quite timely.
