Global Bug Jam

Everybody knows what a great success our institution the UbuntuBugDay is. Some LoCo teams even took this further: instead of just meeting on IRC, they made a party out of it and met locally to work on bugs together.

On the weekend of the 8th August to 10th August we'll do the same, globally!

Upstream Participation

We encourage upstream projects to piggyback on the Global Bug Jam and use this as an opportunity to work with Ubuntu and participate. Please list your project here and a point of contact and run your own jam along with us! If you're an Ubuntu participant and interested in working with a specific upstream project, add your name (or LoCo) to the last column.

Ubuntu bugsquad volunteers can help upstreams by triaging bugs for a specific project, file bugs upstream and link them to launchpad, and help upstreams triage their own bugs. Upstream point of contacts should be in #ubuntu-bugs as well to help coordinate/triage volunteers as the Jam takes place.
