It is a great place to ask questions about Launchpad projects (ex. Ubuntu, Inkscape) . Some of the strengths of Launchpad Answers over other support resources are: * tracking user questions in a similar way to bug reports * notifying volunteer support contacts of new questions * building a searchable knowledge base of good answers * allowing people to ask questions and offer support in different languages. It also serves as a simple ticketing system for tracking Launchpad admin requests. === More about Launchpad Answers === * [[https://help.launchpad.net/Answers/AskingForHelp | Asking for help:]] find out how to use Launchpad to get help with software. * [[https://help.launchpad.net/Answers/OfferingHelp | Offering help:]] how to help other people and become an ..answer contact. * [[https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu|Answers]] === Bugs === ## Please don't re-write other stuff here from the /Bugs area of the wiki, just a few links will do. The two most common uses of Launchpads Bug feature by Ubuntu users is to report bugs and to triage bugs. Reporting Bugs you experience in Ubuntu and Ubuntu programs gives you a voice in getting problems with your software fixed. With Open Source Software you can fix, complain about, and help resolve issues with the software. ==== Bug Reporting ==== * [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | Reporting Bugs]] ==== Bug Triage ==== * [[Bugs/HowToTriage]] * [[Bugs/Status]] * [[Bugs/Responses]] * [[DebuggingProcedures]] If you have questions, feel free to ask other members of the LP Focus Group, or in the {{{#ubuntu-bugs}}} IRC channel. * [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs|Bug Reports]] === Ubuntu package building and hosting === Using Launchpad, you can build and distribute packages for operating systems that use Debian-style packaging. Right now, Launchpad's packaging system (sometimes called Soyuz) supports the build and distribution of packages for Ubuntu.
