Greetings everyone. As mentioned in last week's meeting, the ubiquity team is having an installer sprint starting today and ending on Weds. As a qa community, we have the opportunity to help participate and confirm bug fixes, as well as get possible critical bugs that are still outstanding fixed. The idea is to test the daily iso's specifically for the bugs the team has created fixes for. A summary of each day's changes can be found on this page: http://pad.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-installer-sprint. If your curious about following along in "realtime", visit and idle in the #ubuntu-installer channel on freenode. For testing purposes, we will use the daily iso builds on the iso tracker to test; using the bugs mentioned as focal points for testing. We will coordinate our testing in the #ubuntu-testing channel. If you find a bug has not been fixed that should have been fixed as part of the changes, please report directly against that bug. If you find a new issue, report it against ubiquity as usual.
The current plan is as follows: Monday, Mar 19th. Ubiquity team sprints and fixes bugs / tests the installer Ubiquity teams fixes are documented and incorporated into the build for tomorrow's iso Tuesday, Mar 20th QA community tests the daily iso, specifically ensuring it works on there hardware, and the targeted bugs are no longer present Ubiquity team sprints and fixes bugs / tests the installer Ubiquity teams fixes are documented and incorporated into the build for tomorrow's iso Wednesday, Mar 21st QA community tests the daily iso, specifically ensuring it works on there hardware, and the targeted bugs are no longer present Ubiquity team sprints and fixes bugs / tests the installer Ubiquity teams fixes are documented and incorporated into the build for tomorrow's iso Thursday, Mar 22nd QA community tests the daily iso, specifically ensuring it works on there hardware, and the targeted bugs are no longer present Lastly, since our coverage is not intended nor likely to be completely comphrehensive, this is a good time to test more exotic / problematic or undertested hardware. People who have physical access to such hardware (such as powerpc's, or mac intels and other EFI booting hardware, wubi and dual booting, etc) are especially encouraged to take part and make sure there hardware has good support for precise. If you've never done iso testing before, this is also a good time to try it out. The schedule and pace will be much more relaxed with iso's only occurring once a day, and the tests being targeted for specific issues. Thanks everyone and happy testing!
