The release team does the same, comparing how their team did on respins, communicaton, etc. However, especially given the recent confusion of cadence testing, and it itself being an experiment, I'd like to take a moment to specifically invite everyone to provide feedback on how iso testing has been this cycle, and in particular this last week. This is entirely open-ended, but I'll leave some questions for you to think about.

However, I will say it can be difficult to keep abreast of what's happening during the testing weeks as it is and that without the ability to use the isotracker effectively during a cadence week makes it even harder. During the cadence week, using the isotracker, people were lost as to what to do or the status of what was trying to be achieved. If we continue to aim for this type of testing, we'll need to expand the workarounds and ultimately enhance the isotracker to support the testing effort.

Nicholas et al,

Personally I think the testing last week was well timed with the
changes that are taking place in Ubiquity.  We found some bugs that
will allow the devs a little more time to fix before the next cycle.
If those changes led you to call for the cadence testing you did well.

It appears a couple of critical ubiquity bugs will be cleared with
ubiquity - 2.11.21.

Maybe in tomorrow's spins. I will test a few tomorrow for sure.

As far as fun goes.. Yeah I have fun testing mostly on my new/refurb
Lenovo T61p.

My 2 & 1/2 cents,
