Announcing the Hug Day (or Bug Day?)

With Upstream Version Freeze past us, we finally can focus on getting bugs fixed and get all the bits and pieces together. The best thing for us to do at the moment is getting an overview over our bugs. We'll have a Hug Day to to help our Bug Team to get up to scratch and everything sorted.

But we want this to be a special Bug Day. We're going to have lists of things to do of different Ubuntu teams, so we can better track the impact we had. Planning is one thing, but we'll surely stick to our concept of success: the Hug Day. This is a very special Bug Day: on Hug Day, when someone closes a bug, then someone else should hug him/her. Why? This is a very special way for us to tell everyone that we love contributions! And triaging bugs is a really big contribution.

Who can join the Hug Day? Everyone. You don't need to be a developer. You don't need to know to code. Everyone is welcome. If you don't know how to help, then just come and we'll explain you everything.

Where to join the Hug Day? #ubuntu-bugs on freenode IRC. And you can go there every other day too!

When to join the Hug Day? Next hug day is on February 17th, 2006 In all timezones. But again, you can go there every day and help with triaging the bug tracking systems.

We can't stress it enough: everyone can help. So join us for the Hug Day!
