== Fixing a paper cut ==
You can find paper cuts ready to work on by looking at the [[https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+series|milestones]], or going through bug reports that have the '[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bugs?search=Search&field.status=Triaged|Triaged]]' status.

 * Assign yourself to the bug of the paper cut you selected and set its status to 'In Progress';
 * Work on a solution and commit it in a branch to Launchpad, or generate a patch;
 * Attach the branch or patch to the bug report;
 * You can choose to either make sure your solution gets added to Ubuntu and forwarded upstream yourself, or you can wait for the [[https://launchpad.net/~papercutters|Papercutters]] to help you with that. Be prepared to process feedback about your solution.

Once the bug is fixed leave the papercut task assigned to yourself. ''Members who have helped fix papercuts are listed in the '''[[http://hall-of-fame.ubuntu.com/|Hall Of Fame]]'''.''

''For more information about how to fix bugs, also see: [[Bugs/HowToFix|Helping with bug fixing]].''

== Triaging paper cuts ==
People who would like to help with managing the flow of incoming paper cuts can contribute by triaging the bug reports on the [[https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts|One Hundred Paper Cuts project]] at Launchpad.

 * Verify the bug is a valid paper cut;
  * If '''not''', then mark the [[https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts|One Hundred Paper Cuts project]] task as Invalid and leave a message to explain your actions to the reporter;
 * Verify the paper cut can be reproduced in the development release of Ubuntu;
  * If '''not''', then mark the [[https://launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts|One Hundred Paper Cuts project]] task as Invalid and leave a message to explain your actions to the reporter;
 * Verify the paper cut report contains all [[Bugs/HowToTriage|necessary information]];
  * If '''not''', ask the reporter to provide the information that is lacking;

If you checked all points above, the paper cut is sufficiently triaged and can be marked as such. If the bug is ready to be worked on, assign it to the [[OneHundredPaperCuts/PaperCutsNinja|Papercuts Ninja]] team—''papercuts-ninja'' on Launchpad—so they will receive a message.

The One Hundred Paper Cuts project exists to work on the little annoyances in Ubuntu. These bugs are normally considered too low priority for the developers of the apps in question, who already have more than enough to work on, and so the One Hundred Paper Cuts project comes along and picks them up. In each release cycle, the project aims to fix 100 of these little bugs and in doing so, give Ubuntu a layer of polish that is not typically found in other Linux distros.

Events

There are many important events in the paper cut calendar, both participation in Ubuntu events and running our own little get-togethers. A full list of paper cut events can be found here.
