[Evergreen-catalogers] Bug Squashing Week Starts Monday!

[Terran McCanna]

Hi everyone!

Next week is the first Bug Squashing event of 2025 - woo hoo!

We have one test server up and running with a set of proposed fixes and
features applied, and will hopefully get one or two more going. Here is the
testing spreadsheet that shows the test server URLs. Please note the handy
links at the top to the BSW wiki page and the test account login info.

Some of the ways you can participate in Bug Squashing Week:

   - Log into the test servers to see if you find any bugs that have not
   been reported in Launchpad <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen> yet.
   - Look at the list of proposed bug fixes and features
   <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vx8-4rIfhY8zPQ0nMlljh1jU6aFVg56e4yg1QtZoO7w/edit?gid=0#gid=0>
   that have been applied to the test servers - read through the Launchpad
   ticket to understand the bug and then test out the proposed change. Add
   comments to the Launchpad ticket or, if the fix works great, you can sign
   off
   <https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=dev:bug_squashing#testing_bug_fixes>
   on it.
   - Go through the list of tickets that have the "New" status
   <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/?field.searchtext=&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.bug_commenter=&field.subscriber=&field.structural_subscriber=&field.tag=&field.tags_combinator=ANY&field.has_cve.used=&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.affects_me.used=&field.has_patch.used=&field.has_branches.used=&field.has_branches=on&field.has_no_branches.used=&field.has_no_branches=on&field.has_blueprints.used=&field.has_blueprints=on&field.has_no_blueprints.used=&field.has_no_blueprints=on&orderby=-datecreated&start=0>
   - if you can confirm one of them, change the status to Confirmed.
   - Add "heat" to bug tickets by clicking the "Does this bug affect you?"
   link just under the bug title. This helps developers to prioritize work.
   - If you see a ticket that does not have any tags yet, add tags
from the authorized
   tag list <https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=dev:lp_tags>.
   - Provide additional feedback on existing bugs by adding comments to
   Launchpad tickets.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly!
