I'll give you a nudge tomorrow morning about this, I'd like to run the
new devel release throughout Community Week.

Unfortunately I'm flying out for a conference super early Friday
morning and won't really be available all weekend. I think my testing
throughout the week is enough for me to be confident of the fixes so
unless someone else sees a need I don't think we need another formal
testing session this week.

Noted. Updating ubuntu-owl calendar now for Community Week and Cloud Days.
