[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

He has found his feet,

there is a saying in the UK that "if people really knew how thin the blue
line was, they'd be up in arms to their MP's" Roughly translated it is
equates to the ratio of police to villains.

So many people think that Ubuntu 'just happens', getting testers for every
flavour / arch becomes a greater problem as more people just expect it "to
work".

I've had a bit of a bounce around of 'mad' ideas ... what about a QA
facebook presence along the lines of [1] ?

Don't worry, it will have a different banner. (I have a tame graphics guy
to do that).

Regards,

Phill.
