I see that Alpha 2 is due next Thursday, Jan 23.

Are we going to "opt-in"?

If so I'll set up my test suite over the weekend.

Hi Lance,

Once Kate will send the email, I will jump in to update the list and as always, I shall keep everyone updated :)

What are we waiting  for exactly? we should be testing the images already

I'm waiting for Alpha 2 testing to appear on the iso-tracker:

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/

Should I just start on the daily's and assume the results will count towards Alpha 2?

Yes please test dail'ys until then. I can't guarantee the test results will carry over, but the QA efforts will, and that is what really matters!

Thank you for your support, your contributions are much appreciated, as always :)

Areas of Involvement

My Projects

Upon seeing nothing yet I decided to probe a bit further. Specifically I also need to test Edubuntu upgrades, both from Precise and Saucy since their Precise was a 5 year LTS, and I noticed that the upgrade test dates were wrong so I filed a bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-qa-website/+bug/1271020

Of course that doesn't directly effect us because Tim wisely included the upgrade tests in our iso-testing category :^)

But I'm honestly wondering if we don't need to make the first move when it comes to triggering this "opt-in" testing?

I'm personally conflicted as to whether or not we need to "opt-in" or "opt-out" of each possible "opt-in" pre-release test, but I think with the recent addition of 'gnome-shell' 3.10 we'd be wise to push some testing for an Alpha 2. Does Tim agree?

You can assume we are "opt-in" to all alpha/beta releases unless Ali says otherwise.

As far as I am concerned I want to see bugs reports! not people asking if they should be testing ;)

You know I've been a reliable tester and bug reporter, and I'll continue to do so :^)

Sorry to be a pain in the neck,

Lance

I'll just start testing and report any problems here as well as the iso-tracker.

The beauty of having actual Alpha's and Beta's is providing a proper platform for new testers to "jump in" at the proper point.
