Hi

Hi,
 

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. And thanks for pointing me to the right direction.

Yes as you said, the site is very clear and I am not unfamiliar with testing distributions. Let me show you the issue I encountered.

The link on top of the page points to the correct download page.​

We are now testing Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Tahr Daily Builds



The issue I encountered is here:

Start Testing

Coming Soon Beta 1 is approaching

▶ Please help us to test: Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Tahr Daily Build


The “please help us to test: Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Tahr Daily build”, points here: http://ubuntugnome.org/ubuntu-gnome-trusty-tahr-14-04-alpha-1/ instead of here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/daily-live/current/


OH!
This is very embarrassing :(

Link corrected. Huge thanks for bring this to our attention. I have NO idea how that happened but it is very common when you update many pages at the same time and each page has lots of stuff. Thank you once more.

For me, I don't go to that page unless there is an update as I memorize the link that I use to download the daily build.
 


Thanks again for your great help.

Thank you for this important note and thanks for choosing and testing Ubuntu GNOME!

 
I downloaded the image and I am now installing it in a few virtual machines, based on XenServer, and VMware esxi/workstation. Will later on try to install it on a couple of spare laptops.

Many reported that Ubuntu GNOME Trusty is rock solid and have already installed it on their productive machine but I am not asking you to do that, just saying :)
 

Best Regards
ilvipero

Happy Testing and please let us know if there is anything or any question :)

Dear Sirs

Hi :)

Thank you for your email :)
 

I am getting involved with ubuntu-gnome testing.

That is great to know but you have sent your email to the wrong department/sub-team :D but no worries, we shall help as I am the leader of both Communications and Testing (QA) - also Wiki - and just to make sure we are on the same page, you need to send such questions to the QA Team:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/ContactUs


 
As I have seen on your webpage, there are specific links to follow to download ubuntu-gnome alpha releases (so far alpha1 and alpha2 are released). Below that, there is another entry with written: ▶ Please help us to test: Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Tahr Daily Build
However, following that link, I am forwarded to Alpha1, not Alpha2, or a specific repository for daily builds.

The answer to your very question is this page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Testing

It has all the needed information :)
In fact, your answer is the very first note/line on that page:

We are now testing Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Tahr Daily Builds


This will tell everyone of what exactly are we suppose to test :)

Also, there is: "▶" which means we're at this stage.

I'm CC'ing Ubuntu GNOME QA Sub-Team in this reply so that in case someone else has the very same question, he/she will be notified as well :)

 

I believe this creates a bit of confusion. I thought that link should point to the latest release. Could you please clarify, and eventually correct the link to point the correct images to use? Please keep in mind I am not criticizing or complaining, I am just trying to help. :)

Definitely, we highly welcome, value and appreciate your feedback. In fact, we do ask our users to always send such feedback so that in case there is any error or something, we fix it right away.

I did review the page (even though I'm the one who made it and I'm sure I have checked it many times before) and I didn't see anything broken to fix.

If you also note, I'm using colored banners to make things more clear.

▶ Please help us to test: Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Tahr Daily Build

This is actually very clear IMHO.

In short:
We should always test the daily build and those who are interested about testing, need to follow Ubuntu GNOME QA Mailing List for more information, tips, etc.
 

Thanks a lot in advance. And thanks for the splendid work creating Ubuntu Gnome!


Thank you for contacting us. It shows a great interest for Ubuntu GNOME and we're so glad to receive such emails. Please, keep them coming :)


 
Best Regards
ilvipero

Thank you and I hope this reply was useful and helpful :)

If you have any other question, please don't hesitate to contact us, anytime :)
