Hello all, I want to raise attention to the Edubuntu developers about the necessity of testing the ISOs during milestone testing.
The release team has a policy (during Betas, RC and Final releases) of not releasing Ubuntu or its derivatives until EVERY testcase has been covered. During Beta2 non of the Edubuntu testcases (including Upgrade from Karmic) were covered by a member of edubuntu-devel or edubuntu-bugsquad. With over 70 members, I think that the Edubuntu community has the necessary resources to cover the Edubuntu testcases. Tomorrow, most likely, the first candidate images will be appearing, and you can start preparing today. 1) Sync now the Edubuntu images, so it is less painful to sync tomorrow the candidate images. You can use dl-ubuntu-test-iso to sync, it is now packaged (ubuntu-qa-tools) and working in Lucid. 2) Install Edubuntu 9.10 amd64 and i386 in a virtual machine or a spare partition, to have them ready to test upgrades. 3) Blog about testing, to get awareness from your users 4) Reach some power users directly, to ask them to help the project by testing the ISOs. I would like to discuss during UDS how to improve the testing in Ubuntu and its derivatives. I have register a blueprint [1], in case you want to participate during the discussion. Thanks, Ara.
