A hands-on session on bugzapping at FOSS.in 2010, India

[Siddhesh Poyarekar]

Hi,

I plan on doing a hands-on day-long session on bug triaging in a
conference that is held annually in India -- FOSS.in:

http://foss.in/

The conference is from 15th to 17th December this year. The plan I
have for the conference is this:

* Introduce the audience to the concept of bugzapping
* Explain the process of triaging
* Explain the procedure to sign up
* Solicit contributors for the conference
* Have them registered and their accounts set up
* Sit down and triage

In all this, there are a couple of questions that I need help on:

* Is there a sponsor in India that can sponsor these new contributors
  when they join?  I am not a sponsor.
* How necessary is the 'Introduce yourself to the test list' step in
  the sign-up? Is it necessary that someone reply to an introduction
  email before someone starts triaging bugs?


Thanks,
Siddhesh
