Abstract(in English) There are bugs that give bad impacts in our use cases in 'OpenStack' which is an open source software for IaaS systems. We are carrying out bug fix activities in the OpenStack community in order to fix the bugs early. But it sometimes takes a long time to have the patches for them be merged. As a result of analyzing bug fix activities, the duration to be merged is quite different in each OpenStack project and there is little correlation between the amount of modifications and the duration. About 92 percent of the comments to request modifications in reviews are not important essentially. We proposed the following solutions for bug fix activities: creating rules in the community, strengthening pre-review by checklists and utilizing automated check tools.
