[Nicholas Skaggs <nicholas.skaggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As you may have seen or heard, the push has begun towards getting all of 
the core apps well tested in the form of autopilot test suites for each 
of them.

Elopio, aka Leo, has been working on taking the initial ubuntu sdk 
emulator and getting it made an official part of the ubuntu sdk. Thanks 
to all the core apps authors for your help and feedback; Martin, Dmitry, 
Nekhelesh, Kumal, others I might be forgetting ;-) The first part has 
now been merged, and the rest is well in progress. I'll try and post 
something soon with full details for using this. In the meantime, ping 
elopio on IRC if you want to try it out (it's limited to toolbars at the 
moment)

fginther, aka Francis, has also been hard at work getting jenkins up and 
running with the autopilot tests already written. You can see the 
initial results here, http://91.189.93.70:8080/job/generic-mediumtests/. 
Don't be alarmed to see jenkins bot on your merge requests talking about 
autopilot tests :-)

Now, as part of the quality community team I'd like to invite you to 
come alongside these teams and help out by writing autopilot tests. 
Don't worry if you don't know autopilot, or even if your lacking phone 
hardware. You can write and test your applications directly on your 
ubuntu machine (even in a VM :-) ).

We're hosting a series of workshops to help you get started. They will 
be in #ubuntu-quality.

Tomorrow!, Wednesday July 3rd at 1800 UTC
Friday July 5th at 1300 UTC
Tuesday July 9th at 1800 UTC
Thursday July 11th at 2200 UTC
