Hi,

We have only 43 (or 42 depending on your timezone) days until the Linaro final 
release [1] and 
as we get closer, the need for more structured testing is essential. An idea 
that has been 
incubating for some time is to have a weekly 'test day' where individuals can 
spend a couple
of hours downloading, installing and testing a Linaro image on their hardware. 
Which image(s)
you can test will obviously depend on the hardware available but currently we 
produce:

  * OMAP3 Headless
  * OMAP3 ALIP
  * OMAP3 Plasma Handset
  * OMAP3 EFL Netbook
  * Versatile Express Headless
  * UX500 Headless

and in conjunction with a hardware pack from:

  http://jameswestby.net:8080/

  * OMAP4 Headless
  * iMX51 Headless
  * OMAP3 X11 Base

Starting this Thursday (30th) I propose that each and every Thursday leading up 
to the final 
release is a 'Linaro Image Test Day'. If you have any of this hardware 
available, please 
spend a little time testing and reporting bugs. As an experiment, we will be 
setting up the 
Linaro qatracker each Thursday morning, UTC, with the information for that days 
images. If 
you find it useful, please report your testing results at:

  http://qatracker.linaro.org/

For information on how to install the images on your hardware please take a 
look at:

Regards,
Jamie.
