[Lubuntu-qa] Ubuntu Precise Beta 2 coming soon. Be ready to test your laptop.

[Phill Whiteside]

Being a n00b for QA, one thing I have learned from that the qa team is that
we are growing and getting new people to help.

The ultimate goal is no testing! But until the robots take over, we rely on
people like your self to test.

If ever you think that you do not make a difference, let me assure you that
you do.

Regards,

Phill.
