Quantal Daily ISO Testing for Alpha One

[Nicholas Skaggs]

The Alpha One milestone is quickly approaching us. Starting next Monday
the first images will be generated for the milestone and we'll begin
milestone testing. As a pre-cursor to that testing, we are looking to
test now and report issues in advance. The goal is to run a daily of
your iso sometime in the week before the milestone image is built to
find any issues before the intense milestone testing, so that respins
and major issues can be avoided. Take the time this week to grab a daily
of your adopted iso and report results! Many thanks to those folks who
have already done so (thank you gwjvan and cpatrick08, and others I may
have missed).

If you haven't subscribed to be informed about new builds for your iso,
please do so. It will help keep you informed next week as we do the iso
testing for the milestone. Here's a few links that may come in useful
for you:

I can highly recommend zsync and, if your testing must occur in a VM,
testdrive. Zsync makes it easy to keep your isos up-to-date without
having to re-download them.

As always, happy testing everyone! Remember Alpha One is an upgrade time
for many of the folks who like to live on the bleeding edge. Let's make
sure our images let them join us in Quantal fun :-)
