A Hug Day is a special day where the Ubuntu Community comes together with a shared goal of triaging bugs for a specific package or set of packages. Working together allows us to share knowledge and give some much needed assistance to the Ubuntu Developers. The term Hug Day is a spin on Bug Day; every time someone triages a bug, then someone else should hug him/her. Why? This is a very special way for us to tell everyone that we love contributions! And triaging bugs is a really big contribution.

We've been busy, busy, busy for Edgy. And we've got some great new desktop packages in the Eft. However, this means that we've got some great new bugs to look at. In addition to that we added [[UbuntuBugDay/BugsForExtraPoints]] - a page where you can list your most annoying bugs. Fixing these bugs will give extra points (and extra hugs of course).

Despite [http://www.osnews.com/permalink.php?comment_id=104201 ignorant opinions] on our concept, we know where our success comes from. That's why we're going to stick to our special Bug Day. We're going to have lists of things to do of different Ubuntu teams, so we can better track the impact we had. Planning is one thing, but we'll surely stick to our concept of success: the Hug Day. This is a very special Bug Day: on Hug Day, when someone closes a bug, then someone else should hug him/her. Why? This is a very special way for us to tell everyone that we love contributions! And triaging bugs is a really big contribution. == Join the Hug Day ==
Who can join a Hug Day? Everyone. You don't need to be a developer and you don't need to know how to write code. Everyone is welcome. If you don't know how to help, then just stop on by and we'll explain everything to you.

Announcing the Hug-for-a-bug Day

A Hug Day is a special day where the Ubuntu Community comes together with a shared goal of triaging bugs for a specific package or set of packages. Working together allows us to share knowledge and give some much needed assistance to the Ubuntu Developers. The term Hug Day is a spin on Bug Day; every time someone triages a bug, then someone else should hug him/her. Why? This is a very special way for us to tell everyone that we love contributions! And triaging bugs is a really big contribution.

In addition to that we added UbuntuBugDay/BugsForExtraPoints - a page where you can list your most annoying bugs. Fixing these bugs will give extra points (and extra hugs of course).
