This week's Hug Day will focus on apt!

After you have triaged or fixed a bug put your Launchpad Id in the last column and set the row's background to green by adding lightgreen in the first cell of the column after rowbgcolor=. This will let people know that the bug in that row has been hugged.

Adopt This Package

Are you looking for a package to adopt? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/AdoptPackage explains all about it. Apt is one of the available packages and could really use some help with triage. This package has many useful debugging options, but it will take some effort to learn when to use them properly.

Tools

For doing your work easier during the hug days remember to use the hugday-tools.
