=== Hug Day === A great way to get started is to join in an [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay Ubuntu Hug Day]. A Hug Day is where we collectively work on making bug reports more complete, triaging and even fixing them. It is called Hug Day because every bug worked on is worth a hug! Members of the Bug Squad and Canonical employees are available in #ubuntu-bugs who can answer any questions you might have. |
