Hi everyone,

Hello Fran :)

today I have upgraded to 14.04 in my daily basis machine, so expect to receive bug reports in the coming days (if they exists).

They do indeed exist ;)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bugs?orderby=-id&start=0

For now I can't find anything that doesn't work. All is quite stable and the upgrade with "do-release-upgrade" haven't reported any error.

That is the problem when someone with experience who has basic understanding of the system he/she is using + has more than just a basic understanding of the system (knows how to tweak and solve issues by his/her own). Such people can't easily find a bug because they used to fix bugs or know the workaround or how to avoid some known issue.

That is also why newcomers are the best candidate to be testers while IMHO those with more experience are the best candidate for Bug Triage [1] :)

I could be wrong though but we had such discussion on the previous vUDS and I guess I talked about that with Nicholas Skaggs and he agreed - please don't ask me to prove it :P

What do you think, Fran? do you agree with me?
