643702 - Request for bugzilla database dump

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15

Is it possible to get a dump of the bugzilla database containing the whole history of reported bugs?

I am a computer science PhD student at the University of Antwerp, Belgium and I am currently investigating how users describe occurring problems. Based on this description, we aim to predict the actual severity of the reported bug automatically. Here, we use data mining techniques executed on the history of reported bugs.
We already wrote 2 papers about this topic (see http://lore.ua.ac.be/~alamkan/wordpress/?page_id=7).

Kind regards

I will use several text data mining techniques and therefore I need access to
the bug database.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Hi "denach":

Please can you print and sign a copy of this agreement, scan it and attach it to this bug? Also, we will need evidence that you are who you say you are - for example, a departmental web page bearing your name, and using an official University of Antwerp email address in Bugzilla.

Hi Gervase,

First I wish to thank you for the reply, and secondly I wish to excuse me  for my late reply. I seems that I forgot to enable the option to receive a mail when someone replies.

I just changed my email address to [e-mail], it seems that it takes a little time before this would be visible.

You can find me on websites of the university:
 http://www.ua.ac.be/main.aspx?c=.ONDERZKDB&n=40309&id=UA053&tid=21017
 http://www.ua.ac.be/main.aspx?c=ahmed.lamkanfi

Also on our departmental website (my name is in the list):
 http://win.ua.ac.be/content/staff

Early next week I will provide the copy of the agreement. By then my email address will hopefully be changed.

Kind regards,
Ahmed
