Greetings everyone. As mentioned in last week's meeting, the ubiquity
team is having an installer sprint starting today and ending on Weds. As
a qa community, we have the opportunity to help participate and confirm
bug fixes, as well as get possible critical bugs that are still
outstanding fixed. The idea is to test the daily iso's specifically for
the bugs the team has created fixes for. A summary of each day's changes
can be found on this page:
http://pad.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-installer-sprint. If your curious about
following along in "realtime", visit and idle in the #ubuntu-installer
channel on freenode.  For testing purposes, we will use the daily iso
builds on the iso tracker to test; using the bugs mentioned as focal
points for testing. We will coordinate our testing in the
#ubuntu-testing channel. If you find a bug has not been fixed that
should have been fixed as part of the changes, please report directly
against that bug. If you find a new issue, report it against ubiquity as
usual.

The current plan is as follows:

Monday, Mar 19th.
    Ubiquity team sprints and fixes bugs / tests the installer
    Ubiquity teams fixes are documented and incorporated into the build
for tomorrow's iso
Tuesday, Mar 20th
    QA community tests the daily iso, specifically ensuring it works on
there hardware, and the targeted bugs are no longer present

Lastly, since our coverage is not intended nor likely to be completely
comphrehensive, this is a good time to test more exotic / problematic or
undertested hardware. People who have physical access to such hardware
(such as powerpc's, or mac intels and other EFI booting hardware, wubi
and dual booting, etc) are especially encouraged to take part and make
sure there hardware has good support for precise. If you've never done
iso testing before, this is also a good time to try it out. The schedule
and pace will be much more relaxed with iso's only occurring once a day,
and the tests being targeted for specific issues.

Thanks everyone and happy testing!

Nicholas
