= Automatic Reporting =
This step is optional, but will automatically report your bug numbers and update your signature file if you like it to. Also http://daniel.holba.ch/5-a-day-stats/ generates statistics from that data.

== Reporting to the 5-A-Day log ==

 1. Add the following line to your `/etc/apt/sources.list`:
  * For Hardy: {{{
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/5-a-day/ubuntu hardy main}}}
  * For Gutsy: {{{
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/5-a-day/ubuntu gutsy main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bughelper-dev/ubuntu gutsy main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ubuntu gutsy main}}}[[BR]]You can also use the "Software Sources" Editor: [[BR]] attachment:apt-sources.png
 1. Install the `five-a-day` package: {{{
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install five-a-day}}}
 1. Tell `5-a-day` which Launchpad user you have: {{{
echo <Your Launchpad ID> > ~/.5-a-day}}} - please note: this is not the email address you used for signing up for LP, but the last part of the URL that https://launchpad.net/people/+me redirects you to (everything behind the `~` sign). [[BR]] e.g. The user `dholbach` would type in: {{{
echo dholbach > ~/.5-a-day}}}
 1. If you haven't done so, add your [[https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+editsshkeys|SSH key to Launchpad]]. If you don't have an SSH key, follow the instructions on [[LaunchpadStepByStepInstructions|this page]] to generate one. (Else 5-A-Day is not going to work.)
 1. Run `5-a-day --add`: {{{
5-a-day --add <bugnumbers>}}} For example: {{{
5-a-day --add 123456 123457 123458 123459 123460
}}}
 1. Done. :-) ''(Please note: you can also use the 5-A-Day applet - see [[5-A-Day#Applet|below]].)''

''Further notes:''
 * ''If you're part of a LoCo Team, [[5-A-Day#Team|participate]] in 5-a-day for your team.''
 * ''If you participate in a [[RunningBugJam|Bug Jam]], ask for the name of the tag you agreed to use and [[5-A-Day#Tag|set it in 5-a-day]].''

== Update ~/.signature ==

 1. Follow the steps above.
 1. Run: {{{
5-a-day --update}}} and it will automatically update your signature. (It will also preserve an old `~/.signature` file if it finds it.)
 1. Make sure your mail client picks up the shiny new `~/.signature`.

== Generate a blog "signature" ==

 1. Follow the steps above.
 1. Run: {{{
5-a-day --update --html}}} and it will spit out HTML code you can add to your blog entry.

<<Anchor(Applet)>>
== 5-A-Day Applet ==

 1. Add the PPAs as mentioned above.
 1. Run {{{
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install five-a-day-applet}}}
 1. Right-click on your GNOME panel, add the 5-A-Day applet to it.
 1. Work on a bug as mentioned above.
 1. Drag the Firefox / Epiphany tab on the applet, done.

Check out this [[http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12228307/5-a-day-applet_1.mpeg|video]] to see how it works.

<<Anchor(Team)>>
== Contribute within your LoCo Team ==

We explicitly want LoCo teams to be in this. Sure the `motu` team would do great, the `bugsquad` too but that would be cheating, wouldn't it? :-)

 1. Run {{{
5-a-day --add-team <your LoCo Team's LP ID>}}} for example: {{{
5-a-day --add-team ubuntu-berlin}}} ('''Note:''' You need to member of that team.)
 1. If you're unsure what your team's Launchpad ID is,
  1. check out [[https://edge.launchpad.net/people/+me/+participation|your Launchpad team participation page]].
  1. find the '''LoCo''' team you're member of <<BR>> {{attachment:identify-loco.png}}
  1. click on it
  1. check out the URL in the URL bar of your browser <<BR>> {{attachment:loco-id.png}}

<<Anchor(Tag)>>
== Tagging 5-A-Day Bugs ==

This new feature is particularly useful during events like [[UbuntuHugDay|Hug Days]] or [[RunningBugJam|Bug Jams]].

 1. Make sure you have `five-a-day` version `>= 0.26` installed.
 1. Run {{{
5-a-day --add-tag tag-you-are-going-to-use
}}}
 1. Add 5-A-Day bugs as usual.
 1. ...
 1. Run {{{
5-a-day --remove-tag tag-you-are-going-to-use
}}} to stop using the particular tag.

What is 5-A-Day?

We, that means everybody, will do 5 bugs a day - every day. With only five bugs that everybody looks at every day, we will cover a lot of ground.

What you can do? That's up to you, your interests and your abilities.

  • If you're a developer, you can help out reviewing patches and getting them uploaded.
  • If you want to just confirm new bugs, you can do that.
  • If you've experience with a certain package and want to triage bugs you can do that and forward them upstream if necessary.
  • If you know your way around Ubuntu quite well, you can help assign bugs to the right package.

What you need to do to participate?

Anybody who reports bugs

Did you report a bug on a previous release of Ubuntu?

  • Is it the best quality bug report it could be?
    • Could it use a better summary or a test case?
  • Do you know if the bug is still occurs in the development release?

You can review the bugs you've reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/people/+me/+reportedbugs .

Not a developer?

Once you feel comfortable to start triaging, the following lists may be a helpful starting point:
