This week in QA -- June 4th Hackfest, Classroom Sessions and Cadence Testing

[Nicholas Skaggs]

A quick update to say the hackfest went great, thanks to all who came 
out. The autopilot testcase conversion was completed to 1.3, and barring 
a couple more reviews everything should be good and ready. Now it's a 
matter of expanding and growing the capabilities of the tests. Thanks again!

On the manual side we had a couple new folks start hacking.. I'm looking 
forward to seeing merge requests soon.

Sadly, the ubiquity autopilot hacking is still a WIP -- interested 
parties please ping :-)
