Hello Ubuntu Lovers! If you ever found something is missing in your life, it might be just a Hug Day. The nice feeling to help out somewhere, get things sorted out, make people happy, work with a nice bunch of people and maybe learn something at the same time. Sounds ridiculuous? We don't think so. The success of Ubuntu's BugSquad [1] is one indicator, the rising amount of fixed and triaged bugs is another. Some of Ubuntu's teams even moved to weekly bug targets [2] and do well.
[1] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad [2] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2006-April/000606.html This is the perfect time to get things sorted, the last bugs reported upstream, annoyances fixed and make Dapper the super-stable Release we wanted to have. As the BugSquad promised to do 'themed' Hug Days, this time the Kernel Team gets our love and we help them to sort things out [3]. [4] has some information we can ask for, we'll try to dig out duplicates and make sure the Kernel Team is happy again. YOU can be the next Kernel expert on your block! [3] https://launchpad.net/people/kernel-bugs/+packagebugs [4] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelProblems Kernel master Ben Collins and friends will entertain us and show us where to get cracking. Planning is one thing, but we'll surely stick to our concept of success: the Hug Day. This is a very special Bug Day: on Hug Day, when someone closes a bug, then someone else should hug him/her. Why? This is a very special way for us to tell everyone that we love contributions! And triaging bugs is a really big contribution. In addition to that we added [5] - a page where you can list your most annoying bugs. Fixing these bugs will give extra points and extra hugs of course. [5] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/BugsForExtraPoints Who can join the Hug Day? Everyone. You don't need to be a developer. You don't need to know to code. Everyone is welcome. If you don't know how to help, then just come and we'll explain you everything. In a Bug Day, you can * work in a nice team, * make sure the bug reporters' concerns are heard, * gather all the information needed so developers can fix bugs, * close useless bugs, * find out where the bugs come from, and eventually * work together with upstream to make changes happen, * get experience in hacking and fixing bugs. We will try to triage as many bugs as possible, but specifically look into the targets outlined at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay Where to join the Hug Day? #ubuntu-bugs on freenode IRC. And you can go there every other day too! When to join the Hug Day? Next hug day is on April 13th, 2006 In all timezones. But again, you can go there every day and help with triaging the bug tracking systems. We can't stress it enough: everyone can help. So join us for the Hug Day! Make a difference: join the Bug Day on Thursday, April 13th We will be in #ubuntu-bugs (Freenode) all day and night, and will be ready to answer your questions about how to help. If you're new to all this, head to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingWithBugs Have a nice day, Daniel (for the BugSquad) -- .''`. : :' : `. `'` `- Orgulhoso ser MetaRecicleiro -- ubuntu-br mailing list [email protected] www.ubuntu-br.org https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-br
