Ubuntu Wiki

The Ubuntu Bug Squad is the Quality Assurance (QA) team for Ubuntu.

The people in the team work tirelessly to make Ubuntu a better place. They keep track of all the bugs in the Ubuntu Distribution and make sure that major bugs don't go unnoticed by the developers.

Most of us live in #ubuntu-bugs and we have a [https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugsquad mailing list].

Join us on the irc channel #ubuntu-motu-school on irc.freenode.net for a tutorial on How to Triage Bugs on Aug 4th, 2006 at 1500 UTC - [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2006&month=8&day=4&hour=15&min=0&sec=0 Click for time in your Zone].

How to make Ubuntu a better place

Requirements for joining

There are in fact no requirements for joining the team. You don't need to be an expert on packaging and programming. In fact, this is one of the best ways to help Ubuntu if you can't program / package at all. All you need is a lot of love for Ubuntu.

You might want to create a [https://launchpad.net Launchpad] account for yourself before you start triaging bugs. Then just join in the [https://launchpad.net/people/bugsquad BugSquad] page.

Things you can do afterwards:

• sign up here: [https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugsquad mailing list]

• read this: ["HelpingWithBugs"]

• join #ubuntu-bugs on irc.freenode.net
