Cadence Week 4 is here!

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Week 4 is here, can you believe it? Starting August 3rd, it's time to 
test images and packages again. Now, you'll notice something a little 
different about the layout this time around. Thanks to your continued 
feedback and ideas, we've tweaked the layout even further.

For those of you testing on the isotracker, this should look VERY 
familiar. In short, the testcases are laid out by product, including a 
section for common tests (like graphics, networking, web browsers). This 
means flavors are more clearly shown; and as you can see xubuntu is 
already laid out very nicely! The xubuntu team has been rapidly closing 
bugs and getting testcases for there core apps, in addition to 
contributing heavily towards this idea. Thank you David, Pasi, Elfy and 
xubuntu'ers!

Lubuntu folks, I know you too have some testcases already written and 
we'll need to get a sectioned sorted for you. Ping me!

Ali, and ubuntu gnome folks, let's get something up and running for you 
as well! You can file bugs for what needs done specific for gnome, and 
steal what's already been written :-) Ping me!

The rest of the details are below. Remember, feedback is appreciated! 
What do you think of the changes?

So what is cadence testing? Have a look at this page to get more 
information:

In short, as a community we're testing different things about every ~2 
weeks, and share results to flesh out bugs and problem areas. The full 
schedule is here:

So what's up for testing this week? The daily images, and the default 
applications in ubuntu
Full details are here:

If you need help submitting results, have a look at the ISO testing and 
Cadence Week testing walkthroughs.

Do note that you don't need anything special to participate in cadence 
week testing! Both an installed version of the development branch of 
ubuntu (aka saucy) in a VM or on a real box, or even a live session of 
the lastest daily image will work.

Good luck! Thanks and Happy Testing everyone,

Nicholas
