If you are interested in helping with Ubuntu, you can assist by testing beta
releases (known as preview releases, and usually named after the animal

translation of documentation into different languages, or you should be able
to use various software project management systems, such as Bazaar or Git. If
you are interested in contributing, see Chapter 42, “Helping with Ubuntu
