Hello all: I am sure you have all seen the amazing application that Team Nicaragua did... but have you seen the amazing job the Italian team has done with testing? [1]
Testing is a critical component of the Ubuntu community release cycle and one that could benefit greatly from increased involvement. This process is also a great way for Loco teams to get their members more involved in the Ubuntu community. Paolo Sammicheli published the statistics for the Italian team [2] and the results are astounding. 46.4% of the people had not contributed to Ubuntu in anyway before the Italian team started their testing team. The Italian team had 13 approved members after the Lucid cycle and seven of those had never contributed before. The growth continued in the Maverick cycle with an additional four members being approved. I wanted to get a better idea of how this would fit for teams in large countries and I was happy to see that it fits well with large dispersed teams. "The activity itself it's an online activity. During the Italian Meeting, which are held two times each year, we spoke about testing but it wasn't a specific meeting for testing. And also, not all people involved with testing participated to the meeting. As you can see in the survey [2] we're spread all around the country." ~ Paolo Sammicheli So if you have a large country or a team that is spread out geographically this activity is an extremely good one to build a team around. I am currently in the planning phase of putting together a testing team for the New York State Loco and wanted to encourage all other Loco teams to join me as well. If you are interested please send me an email and we can coordinate our efforts and work together with the QA team and the Italian team to get our teams up and running. Great job Italian Team!!
