UbuntuBugDay
Announcing the Hug-for-a-bug Day
The HugDay is a special day where the Ubuntu Community comes together with a shared goal of triaging a specific package or set of packages. Working together allows us to share knowledge and give some much needed assistance to the Ubuntu Developers. The term HugDay is a spin on BugDay but every time someone triages 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.
In addition to that we added UbuntuBugDay/BugsForExtraPoints - a page where you can list your most annoying bugs. Fixing these bugs will give extra points and extra hugs of course.
Join the Hug Day
Who can join the Hug Day? Everyone. You don't need to be a developer. You don't need to know how to code. Everyone is welcome. If you don't know how to help, then just stop on by and we'll explain everything to you.
Where to join the Hug Day? Come to #ubuntu-bugs on freenode IRC. Normal bug squashing activity takes place in #ubuntu-bugs at other times also.
When
Tuesdays and Thursdays! The next Hug Day is scheduled for Thursday, November 4th, 2008.
We can't stress it enough: everyone can help. So join us for the next Hug Day!
