Myself is super busy these days: http://amjjawad.net/triple-8-roadmap/ Applying for jobs, working to improve myself, other real-life stuff ... so I understand you could be in the same position and it is not good idea to ask you to test while I myself not testing but Ubuntu GNOME is a team, not a one-man project as I always explain that almost monthly or weekly sometimes. The purpose of having a team is everyone of us could backup and cover the other :) so, in hard/tough days where some are extremely busy, others who are 'less' busy could help.
You guys don't need to do ALL the test cases. If there are 6 testers, each one could do a test. Mission accomplished successfully. It is really this simple.
I hope those who are less busy could help as time is running out and before 5th of Feb, everything should be ready.
If you have any Q, simply ask!
@Team Leaders/Drivers
I appreciate if you could focus on this at the moment :)
I'll do my best to test during the weekends. I can't do that at the moment, sorry.
