ISO Daily Testing Week

[Nicholas Skaggs]

So our first off week of the 2 week cadence cycle has passed. I'd like 
to publish the results of our efforts and talk about how much coverage 
we achieved. We had 11 folks help test, which was great. A big thank you 
to the following people:

android-lee
gregfaith
fabiomarconi
liquidplay
elfy
unit193
lyz
barneedhar
carla-sella
gianni-tornatore-71
lbsolost

On the coverage aspect, we covered all of the mandatory Ubuntu Desktop 
testcases for amd64 and i386, including wubi (thanks!). However, we 
didn't get any coverage for Server or amd64+mac. Additionally, some of 
the testcases were only reported by one user. It's safe to say we could 
use a few more hands in here confirming the results of these fine folks! 
If you are able, plan to test next week again for Milestone 3; 
especially if you have mac hardware or can help with wubi or server 
testing :-).

So, in a next week we will have our milestone testing again for Alpha 3. 
It's imperative that we meet our mandatory testcases for each of these 2 
week cadences. We're halfway through the cycle now, and we want to keep 
the pace going all the way through. I know the new cadence of every 2 
weeks is a bit different than we're all used to, so I applaud everyone's 
efforts last week for helping to keep the pace. They can't do it alone! 
Here's to a productive cadence in next week. Thanks,

Nicholas
