I am sorry for the delay, I had the wrong schedule in front of me 17:13:21 So. 17:13:47 [TOPIC] Previous Actions 17:13:47 TOPIC: Previous Actions 17:14:05 I am not aware of any previous pending actions. Please correct me if needed 17:14:09 3 17:14:11 2 17:14:13 1 17:14:22 [TOPIC] Community Efforts/Testing 17:14:22 TOPIC: Community Efforts/Testing 17:14:49 The only point I have here is that we are approaching Beta 1 week, and all help will be extremely welcome 17:15:17 we will need testers for all official variants of Ubuntu, and some of the not-so-official ;-) 17:15:57 please do help. Visit http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com for details on the tests we will have to run 17:16:05 any comments? 17:16:25 Georg here, also new to this. So is ISO testing the top prio? 17:16:40 o/ 17:17:12 zeedune: daily testing on the updated images is always welcome. But milestone testing has a special urgency, given the few days we have to perform all tests 17:17:23 If the images do not get tested, the Beta1 does not get released for that flavor 17:17:46 hggdh_: beta1 testing starts Tuesday? 17:17:58 charlie-tca: we hope so, yes 17:18:29 from Tuesday to part-Thursday 17:18:36 For those not aware of it, this cycle there is a new policy in place. Any image that is not tested for each milestone does not get released for that milestone 17:19:02 How do I tell the daily builds apart from the beta1 ones? Or will all daily build after Tuesday be beta1? 17:19:43 when we reach the milestone, the image is not changed unless a critical bug is corrected 17:19:54 We do plan on images starting Tuesday being beta1, yes. since it is a milestone, they might be the same images for three days, but they can also change every couple of hours 17:20:05 so they are candidates for beta1 17:20:10 but, apart from that, there is no difference 17:20:15 yes 17:20:27 ok 17:20:36 additionally, we will have the Global Jam following the Beta 1 milestone: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam 17:20:47 zeedune: We keep in contact during the milestone testing in #ubunhtu-testing 17:21:25 and on the Global Jam we will also have testing activities (but not milestoned) 17:21:32 any other comments/views? 17:21:49 3 17:21:50 2 17:21:52 Ok, I'll make sure to stay logged in to the #ubuntu-testing channel 17:21:53 1 17:21:57 [TOPIC] Automated/Systems Testing 17:21:57 TOPIC: Automated/Systems Testing 17:22:16 so moving on. Ursinha does not seem to be present. 17:22:17 the only thing I have to report is that I have started working on improving the ubiquity testing for better coverage 17:22:27 perfect 17:22:45 * hggdh_ has never used ubiquity... 17:23:01 I can tell from the bugs :) 17:23:04 nothing else 17:23:05 .. 17:23:10 pedro_: ? 17:23:32 yes? :-) 17:23:37 heh 17:23:46 nothing much to share from here, still catching up from last week :-P 17:23:53 OK 17:23:54 so sorry no bug day for this week 17:24:11 no problem :-) 17:24:15 bdmurray: you, sir 17:25:01 So of particular interest is the following - I've setup a cronjob of search-bugs (finding reported bugs matching a bug pattern) that'll consolidate new duplicates 17:25:15 This is necessary due to some short comings in apport 17:25:41 I also updated firefox-lp-improvements for the new version of firefox 17:26:02 this consolidation, is it automagic? 17:26:12 and then I created a bug bot function to detect hardware errors for /, /var, or /usr partitions resulting in an apport-package bug report 17:26:40 hggdh_: yes, it confirms and adds a comment and marks as a duplicate if the bug matches a bug pattern 17:26:52 fantastic... 17:27:09 and with that bug bot functions I've invalidated some more bug reports 17:27:37 making a sizeable dent on the open bugs, I hope... 17:28:11 well 30 is a small percentage but its more than 0 17:28:22 :-) 17:28:25 30 bugs that is 17:28:36 better than none :-) 17:28:44 There might be some more hiding so I'll look harder for that needle 17:28:51 that's all 17:28:57 thank you 17:29:02 Moving on 17:29:07 [TOPIC] Odds & Ends 17:29:07 TOPIC: Odds & Ends 17:29:15 I will start this one 17:30:16 I would like to welcome nuclearbob (Max) to the QA team.
