<div>Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I'm going to send this 'before' starting any blueprints for
15.04 cycle. This is part of a plan [1] I have in mind for
Ubuntu GNOME as a whole but let's start from one of the most
important parts, that is QA :)<br>
<br>
</div>
Long story short, the model of one-man-task is simply (at least
IMHO) a key to failure while the model of community and
team-work is simply (again, at least IMHO) a key to success. <br
clear="all">
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Why?!<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Because:<br>
</div>
<div><b>ALL</b> of us are <b>smarter</b> than anyone of us.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>That said, starting from the QA team of Ubuntu GNOME, I'd
like to propose this:<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Instead of one-man take the burden of this team on his
shoulder, why not more are involved (phase 1)? and why not
the whole team is involved (phase 2)?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Simply, this is not Ali-QA-UbuntuGNOME nor
Tim-QA-UbuntuGNOME ... there 'must' be a 'team' and there
must be a 'community' efforts.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>What does that mean?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div><b>It means, QA team should have MORE than just one
driver. One driver is not enough at all. </b><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>There is this team on Launchpad:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntugnome-qa">https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugnome-qa</a><br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>With 29 members:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntugnome-qa/+members#active">https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugnome-qa/+members#active</a><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I see no logical reason why there is only one man
handling most if not all the main tasks within this team? it
means there is something wrong ...<br>
<br>
So, either we work as a team or we delete that team and
there is absolutely no need to it. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the choice is mine, I'd step in and share the burden
and move forward with 'better' quality. Having everything
between one-man-hands is just not right. I could write a
long list of reasons but I'm 100% sure I don't really have
to as I'm 100% sure you all can understand and figure out
what I'm trying to explain here.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Reply to this email if you're interested. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>More and further information can be discussed later with
only interested and serious people.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>NOTE:<br>
This is not taking over the QA Team, this is an invite to
share the burden and drive this team as a community/team. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Good night! <br>

Hi Ali,<br>
<br>
I don't mind stepping up for QA Acting Team Leader. If you have any
notes/resources to share with me that goes into a cycle, please do
share. I'm also helping out with testing and bug triaging as well
now.<br>
<br>
As a new comer to the entire QA process, information currently seems
scattered and I ideally would like to document the entire cycle
process for QA (without duplicating any thing that is out there
already) in one or few pages for anybody that would also like to
participate in the QA process specifically for Ubuntu Gnome.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
