The Ubuntu Bug Squad is an essential asset in helping to make Ubuntu and its derivatives better.

The Bug Squad is the first point of contact for the bugs filed about Ubuntu. They assign bugs to packages, ensure that bug reports are complete, find duplicate bug reports, recreate bugs and forward bugs to their upstream authors. All of these activities help the bug get fixed and subsequently making Ubuntu even better.

Triaging bugs is a great way to learn about Ubuntu and how the operating system and development community work. You may also discover new features of Ubuntu you didn't know about!
