Hi Nicholas and the QA team,

I just looked at the main page at https://lists.ubuntu.com and the new
ubuntu-quality list does not appear on the list.  The old list ubuntu-qa is
still under the Quality Assurance heading.  The ubuntu-quality list needs
to be added under the QA heading, and the ubuntu-qa list needs to be moved
to the Worldwide LoCo heading.

Thanks,

David

I repeat: the signature (the one added automatically by mailman),
contains "ubuntu-qa" and not "ubuntu-quality"

A fair warning, this is going to be long, but it's important to digest 
everything in here :-)
--
I trust everyone has enjoyed a little downtime, and for those of you who 
were at UDS or participated remotely, I trust you've been able to digest 
everything now :-) So, it's time for us to start work on the new items 
for the cycle, as well plan out our cadence weeks.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Cadence/Raring

Please have a look at that wiki page. It's been hotlinked in the menu 
header on our wiki (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam). There are 11 cadence 
weeks listed out, occurring every 2 weeks (except for the middle week in 
December to avoid Holidays). I know there are also holidays many of you 
celebrate in April that may coincide with Cadence Week 10, but we'll 
work around those. The weeks run Saturday to Saturday based on feedback 
@ UDS about including more weekends when it would be easier to participate.

Now, the plan is to unite automated and manual testing, and during the 
cadence weeks we will undertake both :-) What I would like now is 
suggestions for specific areas to focus on during the first few weeks of 
testing. As the cycle wears on, we will focus our testing efforts on new 
features or things that are currently lacking in quality (from the 
planned quality report). I've started by suggesting we look at 
libreoffice during our first cadence week due to the mailing list and 
bug traffic surrounding the global menu and some other things. Other 
ideas? Now is a good time IMHO to look at our default application stack, 
but anything is fair game.

Which brings me to pointing out another page to you. At the moment, it's 
a bit difficult to know what's in the tracker for testcases if your not 
an admin. We'll be working to fix this, but in the meantime here's a 
wiki page listing and linking to all of our current testcases. Just 
because a testcase is or is not listed in there doesn't mean it 
shouldn't be added. I would like us to look at and test all of our 
default applications and have automated and manual testcases to test 
them. This is a excellent area to help. I'll be working on revamping the 
wiki to make the process of contributing testcases easier to understand; 
both automated and manual. Don't let this stop you from diving in now -- 
ping the list with what your interested in doing, and everyone can help 
you get started if your unsure. Now is the perfect time to do work in 
this area.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TestCase/Coverage

Remember, now is the time to speak up about the changes, as we can tweak 
things as we go in the cycle, especially if we do so early in the cycle 
;-) Please give your feedback positive or negative. I look forward to a 
wonderful cycle of testing with everyone. The groundwork and plans have 
been laid; let's take QA to the next level!

Nicholas

I decided to split this off into it's own thread to make following the 
conversation easier :-)
--
I would like to discuss and hear options for how we meet as a community 
in "realtime". Currently we're using IRC for this, but I know the timing 
and format doesn't work out well for many of you. Suggestions have been 
made to use streamed google hangouts in conjunction with IRC, or 
something else. I'd like your feedback on our format for this in 
addition to voicing your opinion on when we should meet by voting in 
this poll. We had a poll last cycle and ended up at a current day and 
time, but few who voted have found the time convenient :-) Don't forget 
to select your timezone before filling in the times! In addition what 
does everyone think about reducing the time to 30 mins? I'd like to 
respect everyone's time and make it easier to attend, so I propose we 
only plan to meet for 30 mins.
