Hello Ali, I will send an e-mail to Kubuntu, Edubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, to tell them about our plan to attract more testers, and see if they will join our effort.
Technically, I *should* be responsible for attracting more testers for Kubuntu too (since I'm a Kubuntu Member), but I'm afraid that three flavours for me is too much a burden. Nevertheless, Ubuntu Global Jam is coming, and it's time to write a blog post to Planet Ubuntu to get everyone interested in helping Ubuntu (no matter QA or other aspects).
