This Week in Universe: MOTU Q&A and Universe HUG Day

By boredandblogging | Published: 2007-05-29

The Masters of the Universe (MOTU) have two big events planned for this week:

  • MOTU Q&A: the first of what will hopefully become a regular event is happening this Thursday. This is great time for people interested in learning about Universe maintainership, Ubuntu packaging, or how the Universe repository works to get their questions answered. Read more about it in Daniel Holbach’s announcement
  • Universe HUG Day: this Saturday (June 2nd) there will be a great opportunity to help the community simply by helping out with simple bug tasks. It can be as simple as getting the right information from the bug reporter to providing patches for fixes. Everybody is welcome. And remember, when you close a bug you get a hug! See Daniel Holbach’s announcement for more details.
