Hardy SRU Testing Day!

[Ara Pulido]

Hello all,

We are pleased to announce the next Ubuntu Testing Day that will be next Monday, November 10th.[1]

The Ubuntu Testing day is a special day where the Ubuntu Community comes together with a shared goal of testing a specific set of ISO images (Alpha, Beta, RC, Gold or Point releases), a specific feature or some bugs needing verification. Taking the idea from the Ubuntu Bug Day [2] we want to apply the same concepts to ISO testing.

Who can join the Testing Day?
Everyone. You don’t need to be a developer. You don’t need to know how to code. Everyone is welcome. If you don’t know how to help, then just stop on by and we’ll explain everything to you. In fact, one of the objectives of the Testing Day is to help people willing to start testing Ubuntu to make it better.

Where to join the Testing Day?
Come to #ubuntu-testing on freenode IRC. We will be there day and night resolving your testing questions you might have. You can even ask for help on creating new automated tests for Ubuntu!
Normal testing activity takes place in #ubuntu-testing at other times also.

Which is the goal for this testing day?
We know we just released Intrepid a week ago, but we have a lot of pending SRU bugs in Hardy needing verification. Hardy is a LTS release and, therefore, it needs to be kept in shape for a longer period. SRU is the process to get updates into a stable release. Please, refer to the SRU wiki page [3] for more information on the process.

Please join us next Monday and help making Ubuntu better!

Cheers,
Ara.
