Before I even get started please remember that I suffer from a brain injury and my analysis may be extremely flawed ;^)

I rather think "cadence" should be changed to "early"! Are we ready for iso-testing? This should be a point where we see if we're even close to being ready. If we're not ready how do we report that?

Regarding re-spins I don't know how we can possibly improve that.  If a serious bug is recognized by one of the devs there will be a respin. But this is a serious bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/987418

It effects both Precise and Quantal but it seems to get no love :^(

Another is making a decision on Abiword:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1019621

There comes a point where testers wonder if their testing even matters. I've been testing since Hardy and I've never had less confidence in the effect of my effort :^(

When testers feel they're no longer being listened to they will stop testing.

Hi Nicholas,
in the past, the question has been raised about testers dong tests, only for them to be deleted the next day as a respin comes up. Are tests / bugs now being carried over?

what is the difference between cadence and the qa-testing milestones?
I will ensure our wiki area is updated with your reply.
Regards,
Phill.

    Cheers everyone. This week is a cadence week
      for iso testing. What that means for us is to test all of our
      ubuntu isos mandatory testcases at least once over the course of
      the week. A big thank you to those who are already leading the way
      on this with testing:

    

    
      
      
      
      gregfaith, michael-kroll, fabiomarconi, and
      doak-jackson

      

      These 4 have already reported results to the isotracker. Thanks!
      You may have noticed that the i386 ubuntu images had issues
      building, but by the time you read this those should be resolved.
      If you need help, check out the walkthrough page on the wiki
      and/or email the list. We're happy to help anyone through there
      first tests case.
