The Ubuntu Bug Squad is the entry point for helping to make Ubuntu better.
The BugSquad collectively provide the first point of contact for all the bugs filed against Ubuntu. This allows the Ubuntu developers to focus on dealing with bugs which have been prioritised and are reproducible with all the debugging details needed to allow a full analysis. BugSquad members with some experience can join the UbuntuQA team allowing them to set the priority of bugs for Ubuntu.
They keep track of all the bugs in the Ubuntu Distribution and make sure that major bugs don't go unnoticed by the developers.
