= Bug Day April 13, 2019 =
Bug days are conducted to help move bugs toward getting fixed, and to close bug reports which cannot be reproduced. We do this by testing the user's report and by helping users improve the quality of their bug report. In more fun terms what we do is swat, squash, pound, massage, and stomp bugs into submission.
See the [[Thunderbird:Bugdays#Schedule|Bugdays page]] for information on how to get help, how to get started, and schedule.
