5 a Day

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?

If you haven't helped out with bugs before you might want to take a look at ["Bugs/HowToTriage"] or ask the nice people on #ubuntu-bugs on irc.freenode.net.

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?

Review bugs you've reported by going to your launchpad page, clicking on the Bugs tab and then click "List reported bugs" in the Actions portlet. Or go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/~launchpad-login/+reportedbugs where launchpad-login is your launchpad user name.

Not a developer?

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