Clear message

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].

Check out the transcript from our IRC tutorial on [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School/BugWork How to Triage Bugs], given by Simon Law on #ubuntu-motu-school on irc.freenode.net, at 1500 UTC, August 4th, 2006.

How to make Ubuntu a better place

  • Triage bugs
  • Have healthy relationships to
    • OUR USERS
    • our upstream developers
    • our Launchpad crew
  • Improve the wiki to reflect best information for debugging
  • spread more of the huggy, cheery atmosphere

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. Smile :)

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.
