From mkanat at bugzilla.org Fri Apr 1 00:49:41 2011 From: mkanat at bugzilla.org (Max Kanat-Alexander) Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 17:49:41 -0700 Subject: Bugzilla:Pretty Contest Results Message-ID: <4D952125.8040601@bugzilla.org> So, all the votes are in for the "Make Bugzilla Pretty" contest, and we do have a winner. First off, let me say that every single entry was amazing. Every single person who entered had innovative ideas, and every entry was in some way better than our current UI. There were four candidates who were mentioned in some positive way by almost every voter: Long Duong Jonathan Wilde Alex Faaborg Zeeshan Syed Any of these designers would be a worthwhile addition to any UX team anywhere. Simply the ability to take Bugzilla's existing UI and turn it into something that nearly everybody finds *attractive* is an accomplishment that few designers could achieve. In the 13 years of Bugzilla's history, nobody has done it before these entries. I would be personally happy to write a recommendation for any of the above designers, and they may contact me for that if they wish. There were a ton of positive comments on the usability aspects and organization of Alex Faaborg's [Bracket] theme, particularly some of the new fields suggested and the brilliant use of color to improve the scanability of the page: http://mzl.la/bracketTheme There were a lot of positive comments on Zeeshan Syed's use of space https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Pretty#Zeeshan_Syed Many people liked the clean lines, header navigation, home page, and very "Bugzilla" feel of Long Duong's design: https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/b/bb/Bugzilla-Design-lduong-V3.jpg Nearly every single voter had something positive to say about Duong's brilliant design. Based on the number of votes and the general amount of positive feedback, Duong is our first runner-up for the Make Bugzilla Pretty contest, and it is very likely that we will end up incorporating some of his UI concepts into our final design. Also, I wanted to mention that people really liked some of the clever usability aspects from Christian Legnitto's submission, particularly the color-coding of values: https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/a/a5/Bzui_dark.png However, the winner of the "Make Bugzilla Pretty" contest, and indeed the recipient of the *majority* of votes, is Jonathan Wilde: https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/7/79/JWilde-BugzillaPretty-Bug-27-2-2011.png Jonathan's ability to convert our UI into something beautiful and simple that even new users will find approachable is beyond anything that I had ever imagined could be done with Bugzilla. I'm thrilled that Jonathan has won, and excited to implement his design as the official UI of Bugzilla 5.0. Finally, I'd just like to thank everybody who entered. Your entries made this contest a fascinating and transformative experience for the Bugzilla Project. We were consistently amazed at the creativity, intelligence, and design sense that so many of you displayed, and wish you great fortune in the future of your careers. -Max -- Max Kanat-Alexander Chief Architect, Community Lead, and Release Manager Bugzilla Project http://www.bugzilla.org/ From bugzilla at testingcrunch.com Tue Apr 5 10:02:39 2011 From: bugzilla at testingcrunch.com (J Panda) Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2011 15:32:39 +0530 Subject: developers@bugzilla.org Message-ID: Hi, I just messup in the email config section of bugzilla admin.

But have we reached a point where we can expect Javascript to be a requirement? I truly believe Bugzilla needs to take advantage of the YUI menubar feature. In my case, I make full use of it to create n-level hierarchical product menus. Works great when you have 2000+ products. I've used it in NewTicket, SearchTicket, MoveTicket, EditTicket, etc. No changed needed in the schema, only in the user interface. If you like, I can do a webex demo.

Yeah, it's a very useful widget. We already have plans in the works to use it for the header, and given how some features of Jonathan's mockup work, we are likely to use it for the drop-downs that appear there, as well (though it may require some serious CSS customization). -Max From gerv at mozilla.org Fri Apr 15 09:47:33 2011 From: gerv at mozilla.org (Gervase Markham) Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 10:47:33 +0100 Subject: Bugzilla:Pretty Contest Results In-Reply-To: References: <4D952125.8040601@bugzilla.org> Message-ID: <4ZOdnfwzVaLbiTXQnZ2dnUVZ_gqdnZ2d@mozilla.org> On 15/04/11 01:05, Max Kanat-Alexander wrote: > Hey Albert.

I recently joined Bugzilla developers list. Though i haven't used Bugzilla before in my work, my main purpose is to learn, understand and contribute to open source projects. This is my first open source project participation ever. I want your valuable guidance to learn and enrich my knowledge to become one among you and become an active member of Bugzilla and open source community in large. Below are my brief introduction of myself. I'm Sudhir. I live in Bangalore, India. I'm currently working as a software engineer in Symphony Services Pvt. Ltd. I've completed my Bachelor Engg. in Information Science. I've been working in software industry for about 5+ years now. In that 5+ years i got learn Perl and Java by doing various projects. I'd done one project with Python initially in my first company. Currently I'm more comfortable with perl and java than python. Below are some of the projects which i participated during my 5+ years of profession. Server Statistics: language used: Perl database: MS Access platform: windows xp. This is a CGI based web application wherein the purpose of the tool was to show some sort of statistics of the two build server. Here i was supposed to parse 2 xml files(build results on 2 seperate server) and findout the diff of 2 same projects(build on 2 seperate server) and show the results. Later this results had to be stored in database for the managers to analyze the history of the project. This also featured showing a graff of failed no. of projects in a week span on the 2 build server. Scenario Based Replication: backend: Perl frontend: WendynPro(an SAP's proprietary framework for implementing frontend) and java replication tool: rsync Platform: linux. This is generally a replication tool for distribute development environment where developers(across the world) can configure their replication request and replication admins then approve the replication. The purpose was eliminate developer's(in india, israel, palo alto etc.) build time as against the main production server(in germany) This had 3 main parts, - webinterface(or frontend, where developers configure their request) implemented using webdyn pro, - the config-generator, a tool written in perl to generate configurable replication request file with each dependency-file's very basic stats, like last modified date and time, filesize. This configuration file stored in main production server. - actual replicator, this tool will be installed in various replication-needed-location's production server(eg: bangalore, israel, palo alto, sofia etc.). This tool will poll main prodcution server for new req file in some interval period. If present it evaluates each dependency file, and determine whether that file is needed for replication(by comparing its last modified date locally against one in the configuration file) and create a well balanced rsync input file. "Well balaced" meaning if the client production server is configured to run 10 rsync commands parallely then each rsync commands should get a fair amount of bytes to download. For eg: 500MB each or something similar. Unlike 5Kb for one and 1GB for another. Though the later case is valid and sometimes unavoidable the tool tried to create a input files with evenly distributed dependency files to download. Then replicate dependency files using rsync to respective client production server. Online courses: backend: Perl and Java frontend: PHP, flash This product is aimed at providing enough knowledge on ethics and culture in corporate offices. Like anti bribary, anti trust sexual harassment. The customers will have their own admins to manage this for their company. The courses are built with rich html(audio, video, flash). This also has a test and certification. Admins will choose what courses are suitable for what department of the company and assign those to them. Employees take online course, take test. There is one base product of this online courses and others are mostly different idea of the base product. Each is has its own purpose and features. Best eg. of different product of the base is a product targeted towards different level of users(mostly to top management), suggesting courses(recommendation system using survey). In this project my contribution was write SOAP services in java, fixing bugs related to base product whose backend is complete perl. I'm currently reading https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Developers and trying to setup my dev environment locally. -- Sudhir. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
