Bug Squad Mission

The Symbian Bug Squad is a home for community members who want to make a difference to the Symbian Platform by identifying and implementing improvements proposed by the community. The main focus of the Bug Squad is to find, locate and fix bugs in key areas of the Symbian Platform.

Joining the Bug Squad aims to be the most effective way for an individual to contribute to the Symbian Platform by:

  • Organising testing and test days and bug fixing days around critical platform areas to yield the best possible results.
  • Matching contributors with varying skills to suitable tasks and in effective teams, for instance by matching bugs with programmers and pairing programmers who fix bugs with testers that can validate the fix.
  • Facilitating the acceptance of contributions into the platform by making sure the results of the Bug Squad are valuable and by building relations with the Package Owners that integrate fixes.

The squad is coordinated by Symbian Foundation employees, but the squad itself is made up of community members like you!

How do I get involved?

A good way to get started with the Bug Squad is to join the mailing list and announce that you want to take part in our events. You should also join the IRC channel to chat with us.

We are looking for people with all kinds of competencies to help in improving Symbian by joining the Bug Squad. The only strict requirements to be a member are a desire to help improve the Symbian Platform and a friendly attitude.

In particular, we are looking for the people who fall into at least one of these categories:
