Hi, I'm Vadim Rutkovsky, and I would like to apply for membership in
the ~ubuntu-bugcontrol team.
I've been a member of the bugsquad for about a month now and have been
helping newcomers on #ubuntu-bugs channel on various aspects of
triaging.

__Application__
1. Do you promise to be polite to bug reporters even if they are rude to you or Ubuntu? Have you signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct?
I have signed the Ubuntu CoC right after registering on Launchpad in
late 2006, and I do promise to be polite to bug reporters (and
everyone else) in all of my communications.


2. Have you read Bugs/HowToTriage, Bugs/Assignment, Bugs/Status and Bugs/Importance? Do you have any questions about that documentation?
I have studied the documents, and I have no questions. In some reports
I've been recommending importance and assignment details


3. What sensitive data should you look for in a private Apport crash report bug before making it public? See Bugs/HowToTriage for more information.
a. Core files (CoreDump.gz) should be removed from original report, as
this memory image can contain sensitive user data.

b. Potentially sensitive text strings in any stack traces (attached
Stacktrace.txt / ThreadStacktrace / Traceback).  Function arguments
displayed in an included stack trace might contain private user data.
Such bugs should be left private.


4. Is there a particular package or group of packages that you are interested in helping out with?
I'm highly interested in triaging desktop package bugs - for instance,
gedit, cheese, nautilus etc.

And helping to stem the flow of duplicates of 806606 in gnome-nettool which I appreciate!

Another interesting package is indicator-weather. As I'm a developer
and maintainer of upstream project I'm interested in getting reports
from ubuntu packages as soon as possibly.
Bugpatterns is my passion for a long time, however I'll post merge
requests instead of committing in the trunk, as these pattern are
really important and I don't want to break them with accidental
commit.

Working on an upstream package gives great perspective to bug-control I think.


5. Please list five or more bugs which you have triaged.
A summary of the changes I made to each bug are noted here.  Please
see my full responses in the bugs themselves.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/632460
unity crashes if a place is opened with the super-short-key

     Confirmed bug from Omer Akram, I would set High or even Critical
priority as bug affects an important part of functionality

https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-sushi/+bug/897554
Long titles overlap close button

     Sent the bug upstream and prepared a patch. Updated bug status
manually after change in upstream tracker.
     The bug doesn't severely affect functionality, so Low importance
would fit best.

Low fits perfectly I'd say.

This is not required by bug control, but a best practice that I like to use is noting what version the fix is in. Users coming to either report this again or wonder where the fix is can get a hint here.


https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geogebra/+bug/927358
Geogebra package doesn't install

     Collaborated with original reported - asked several questions in
comments, reproduced myself and confirmed the bug.
     Dependency break is pretty important, so I'd assign High priority
to this bug

This bug was interesting to me because it caused me to recheck the Status/Importance page and clarify the rules again to myself. High is also what I believe fits.


https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/940555
Add support for .gcf files using hllib

     Checked that the bug is reproducible in latest version of the
package and sent upstream. Importance = Wishlist


https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/932126
'Media contains photos' message right-justified

     Reproduced the bug and sent upstream


Looks great to me, +1
