For the next hug day, on Tuesday, June 24th, we will be doing something quite different. We generally focus on moving bugs from the New status to Incomplete or Confirmed, but on the next hug day we'll work on helping move bugs from Fix Committed to Fix Released! We'll do this by verifying that packages in the hardy-proposed repository fix the bugs they were designed to and that the package still functions that way it should. The list of targeted bugs and tasks is posted at:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20080624

Our goal is to have at least two people test every bug in that list. In particular there are a number of installer, Wubi, and Java fixes that we'd like to verify. So on 24 June 2008, in all timezones, we'll be meeting in #ubuntu-bugs on irc.freenode.net for a very special Ubuntu Hug Day.
