Professional Geekism

Oddly enough, only a day after my post concerning some odd differences between two Ubuntu Flash 10 packages, I received an e-mail from the Ubuntu mailing list to tell me that the next hug (bug) day is actually centred around flashplayer-nonfree!

Quoting the e-mail for any of you not on the list:

Fellow Ubuntu Triagers!

This week's HugDay target is *drum roll please* flashplugin-nonfree!
* 78 New bugs need a hug
* 53 Incomplete bugs need a status check
* 35 Confirmed bugs need a review

Bookmark it, add it to your calendars, turn over those egg-timers!
* 5th of March, 2009
* http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20090305

Can't stress it enough: everyone can help!

Have some time? Triage boogz! I won't be upset if you get a headstart~
Have a blog? Blog about Hugday!
Have some screen space? Open #ubuntu-bugs and keep an eye out for
newcomers in need.
Have minions? Teach THEM to triage for you!

Wanna be famous? Is easy! remember to use 5-A-day so if you do a good
work your name could be listed at the top 5-A-Day Contributors in the
Ubuntu Hall of Fame page!

Make a difference; we will be in #ubuntu-bugs (FreeNode) all day and
night, and will be ready to answer your questions about how to help.

Have a nice day,

That’s quite a lot of bugs. Hopefully the Ubuntu ‘Jaunty Jackalope’ 9.04 release will iron these issues out.
