[Lance <lbsolost@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Phill. I think on my part what I'll try to do beginning with Precise Beta 1 is to begin a bit of testing a couple of days in advance of actual iso-testing.

For example; Beta 1 is due on March 1st so I'd expect official iso-testing to begin either Feb 27th or 28th, with that in mind I'll do a bit of pre-test testing beginning about the 24th or 25th to allow our very small team more time to respond.

Also, I seem to recall on the old mailing list there was a question asked about a "dev-team" mailing list. If a serious issue appears it would be good to have a "dev-team" or "dev-list" that could be contacted. Not that they'd be expected to fix the problem so much as to answer a serious question. Does that make sense?

Many, many thanks for all you do. If anyone's at fault here it's me, I just want to do better in the future.

Lance

PS; we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Colin Watson. It's sometimes asked of folks who the one person they'd love to have dinner with is, and I'd love to meet Colin. By far one of the best people I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

I did receive it, but as we were in the middle of disgorging unity from the isos and things were in flux I did not reply as at the next build we were hoping to have a 'clean' build. As always with life, things did not work out that way. With my Oracle VM falling out big time with the newest 11.10 kernel and causing me problems, I'm not really able to test stuff at the moment.


Regards,
Phill.

On Feb. 1st I sent a message to this address titled; "Is the change to Unity intentional?".


Did anyone receive that? If so who received that?

I sort of think the "users-list" is not what I want. I'm subscribed to so much stuff now that just reading my mail eats my breakfast, lunch, and supper.


Some of you know by now I'm the one that pulled the plug on the Alpha 2 live image because it gave an entirely false representation of Lubuntu's DE. I'd actually intended to postpone the entire Ubuntu Alpha 2 release by at least 24 hours but I lost that battle.


Perhaps most importantly I was freaked out having not discovered the problem until release day so I used my hole card and PM-ed Mark Shuttleworth himself. Mark responded within just minutes and put me in touch with Pete Graner who was very helpful.


I didn't agree with the outcome
 but most importantly we need our own "panic button" because I can't PM Mark frequently or it'll become akin to "crying wolf". Is the "users-list" the best we can do for a panic button?


On my part I'm starting a dialogue with the QA community coordinator:

Any and all suggestions are welcome. I'm not complaining and I hope it doesn't come across that way. If anyone's at fault here it's me, I just want do be able to do better in the future.

In this case I really needed a response to my question about the unity-like DE being intentional. Had I known sooner we'd have this image listed for Alpha 2:


http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/206/builds/11180/downloads

I have PM-ed Pete Graner and requested that the Alpha 2 announcement and release notes be amended but I've so far gotten no response.


As always, thanks to all for everything they
 do,

Lance

No idea why I pasted the link wrong, just tired after testing many iso images I guess. But this should be the link to the images:

The alternate images still show the old New Year greeting.

What should we be seeing?

Please look here:

lubuntu-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
But there's no real need to respond there.


I have mixed feelings about that. It looks good but I miss the traditional menu, and I hate surprises at my age.

I just need to know what the intent is, then I can pass that on.

As always, thanks to all for everything they do,


Lance (now lbsolost @ iso-testing and still Erick Brunzell @ Launchpad)
