Hello,
I will be helping with the testing of VV on my desktop (I need to replace the hard drive on it anyway so installing a fresh OS is not a bad idea). Of course, I will report the progress on the QA Tracker I just need to find the time to do that this week.

I will be pushing for more active QA testers on our social media channels and within my personal contacts.

Hi everyone,

I'm going to send this 'before' starting any blueprints for 15.04 cycle. This is part of a plan [1] I have in mind for Ubuntu GNOME as a whole but let's start from one of the most important parts, that is QA :)

Long story short, the model of one-man-task is simply (at least IMHO) a key to failure while the model of community and team-work is simply (again, at least IMHO) a key to success.

Why?!

Because:
ALL of us are smarter than anyone of us.

That said, starting from the QA team of Ubuntu GNOME, I'd like to propose this:

Instead of one-man take the burden of this team on his shoulder, why not more are involved (phase 1)? and why not the whole team is involved (phase 2)?

Simply, this is not Ali-QA-UbuntuGNOME nor Tim-QA-UbuntuGNOME ... there 'must' be a 'team' and there must be a 'community' efforts.

What does that mean?

It means, QA team should have MORE than just one driver. One driver is not enough at all.

There is this team on Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugnome-qa


I see no logical reason why there is only one man handling most if not all the main tasks within this team? it means there is something wrong ...

So, either we work as a team or we delete that team and there is absolutely no need to it.

If the choice is mine, I'd step in and share the burden and move forward with 'better' quality. Having everything between one-man-hands is just not right. I could write a long list of reasons but I'm 100% sure I don't really have to as I'm 100% sure you all can understand and figure out what I'm trying to explain here.

Reply to this email if you're interested.

More and further information can be discussed later with only interested and serious people.

NOTE:
This is not taking over the QA Team, this is an invite to share the burden and drive this team as a community/team.

Good night!
