<br>
Oneiric Beta 2 is out now and we ask everyone on the QA team to<br>
participate in the laptop testing, confirming positive/negative results and<br>
checking for regressions from previous milestones.<br>
<br>
The procedures for testing your laptop and reporting results are<br>
explained on <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Procedures" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Procedures</a><br>
<br>
You can start downloading the image at<br>
<a href="http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/" target="_blank">http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/</a><br>
<br>
Test results will be tracked on<br>
<a href="http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/" target="_blank">http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/</a><br>
<br>
You may have accounts on the tracker from last time. Please register<br>
if you are new to this.<br>
<br>
Please let us know if you have any questions, we will coordinate<br>
testing in #ubuntu-testing on freenode.<br>
<br>
Thanks and happy testing!<br>
