Fellow Ubuntu Triagers!

Charge your lasers, because it's time for another HugDay!

This week's HugDay target is *drum roll please* cupsys!
* 108 New bugs need a hug
* 28 Incomplete bugs need a status check
* 40 Confirmed bugs need a review

CUPSYS: The Common Unix Printing System is what controls printing
in Ubuntu, a fairly necessary task of any desktop machine.


Bookmark it, add it to your calendars, turn over those egg-timers!
* Thursday October 16th
* http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20081016

Can't stress it enough: everyone can help!

Have some time? Triage boogz! I won't be upset if you get a head start~ ;)
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! :)


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.
