Hi there I am a mathematician and physicist who started using Linux with Slackware 1.0. I switched from RedHat to Fedora Core when FC 1 came out and have been a mostly happy Fedora user ever since. I also used to work as a sysadmin (small heterogeneous network with SuSe, AIX and Windoze). I'm a bugzilla.rh reporter at times, "small scale" Mozilla contributor and extension writer, git contributor. I guess that means I've had some exposure to C, shell, XUL, JS, though I prefer python for current work projects. After having lived in the US for 3.5 years I feel reasonably comfortable working on documentation in English as well as German, my native language. I tend to use British spelling now but can be told otherwise :) I'm attending FUDcon Berlin to see how I can better contribute to Fedora. Applying for the BugZapper group is one more step in that direction. Cheers, Michael

I have accepted your request to join the triagers group since you followed all the instructions right ;). Thanks very much for volunteering your time. Remember, Tuesday at 1500 UTC is the BugZappers meeting in #fedora-meeting, and following that is Triage Day in #fedora-bugzappers, at which we try to help new zappers get started. If you can make it to either or both of those events, I'm sure we can help you get a running start. Thanks again!

FAS complains that there's no bugzilla account for my FAS e-mail-address. Now, my bugzilla account is my FAS e-mail forward, i.e. mjg(a)fedoraproject.org (which forwards to the from address above). Obviously I can't set my e-mail address in FAS to be just that... So, does that mean I can't use an @fedoraproject.org address as the bugzilla account associated with a FAS account?

I wonder, I use my fp.o email address in bz and of course, I can use the triage buttons and have also the rights to change the bugs in the way of triaging. But maybe it's a result that I used first my gmail mail address, get the rights after joining the bugzappers team and changed it after that to the fp.o address.

The exact way that I was gone: Registered in RH BZ (with the gmail address) Report some bugs as a normal user Join the bugzappers team -> create a account in FAS (same gmail address as in bz) Get the Triaged power for bz by accepting to join the "Fedora Bugs" FAS group Do some triage of bugs (with the gmail address) then changed the email address under [1] to the fp.o one Login with the fp.o one and all rights and buttons are working fine Hope it helps do understand.

Hum hum. For me it was: BZ account had fp.o address FAS account had forward to gmail address forward was removed automatically during recent cleanup got approved for BugZappers, forward got reinstated FAS sent automatic complaints that it didn't find my e-mail (gmail) in BZ Changed BZ e-mail to the same gmail address which FAS knows Automatic FAS complaints stopped, I got the additional permissions in BZ *now BZ won't let me change my e-mail address again* I thought I could simply switch the BZ e-mail address back to the fp.o one, but it can't on the Prefrences/Name & PW page I can change the pw and my real name, but for the e-mail there's only a line "Confirmed email address" listing the e-mail as non-editable text. Looking at your list of steps, I may have to some triaging first... But also step 1 was different, or e-mail changes are restricted timewise.
