ANNOUNCEMENTS

[birdofpreyru]

We'll use this thread for general announcements.

It turns out that it is a way easier to manage the payments for our Bug Bash, if everybody makes a dummy submission to the Bug Bash challenge page https://www.topcoder.com/challenge-details/30056206/?type=develop. We have done it ourselves for some of the Bug Bash participants, but you better check and submit if necessary (we have temporarily re-opened the submission phase).

We are starting the second TopCoder Web Site Bug Bash. A few new tickets have been opened for pickup. Feel free to suggest other issues to resolve, though please focus on the frontend issues, as, as you know, everything related to the backend is complicated.

I'll publish the placeholder challenge at TC site soon. Please subscribe to it and make a dummy submission there, if you fix anything, it will help us to manage your payments in the end.

Just a reminder that our Bug Bash II officially ends in 28 hours.

Please, everybody who has done any accepted fixes, submit a dummy submission to the challenge page (https://www.topcoder.com/challenge-details/30056508/?type=develop), to faciliate payments management.

Our second Bug Bash is finished! I've put all info from my records into your scorecards in the Bug Bash challenge at TC site. Also, I've set the prizes corresponding to your places (if they are not shown in OR, you can see them at the challenge details page). Feel free to double check it and use appeals process to point out my mistakes, if any. Otherwise, don't forget to press Complete Appeals, which will help to get the money a bit faster.

@rushikesh90 Sorry, had to reject the fix you have attempted to make. You'll find my comments in the closed PR.

Those of you, who have any pending tickets, you may keep on working on them, if you like. We'll handle them within the next Bug Bash.

@shizhouxing Hey! What happened? Why I see random Bug-Bash-related labels assign by you to tickets all around?

[shizhouxing]

@birdofpreyru Oh... Really apologise that it seems I made a mistake when filtering tickets. Very sorry for that...

[birdofpreyru]

OK. I've removed those labels.

Bug Bash III is finished, many thanks for participation, everybody!

We'll handle payments as soon as possible. I've just noticed that @shubhendusaurabh has not submitted a dummy submission, and it looks like with my level of permissions (or just lack of knowledge) I can't neither re-open submission phase, nor upload a dummy submission for him. So, we'll have to wait a bit until I get help with this :)

[shubhendusaurabh]

@birdofpreyru In some previous bug bash when I had failed to submit, payments were handled through JIRA. Maybe look into it.

[birdofpreyru]

@Colinh84 @Savvas-cl @shizhouxing I've entered your payment details in the system. Please check that I did no mistakes in my records, and if there are any problems use the standard appeal procedure to point them out. Otherwise, press Complete Appeals button to get the payments a bit faster.
