<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Excellent feedback, thank you Phil. I
will add it to the list that a launchpad mini-session would be of
use to everyone. In the meantime, please explore and ask questions
if you get stuck. Launchpad has some nice documentation:<br>
<br>

<br>
I'll put together a really quick guide to complement that with
just what you need to know to contribute to the projects we have
now.<br>

<div>Puts hand up... when I initiated the classroom sessions
requiring people to "Have an ISO" and "Have KVM / VBox /
TestDrive" installed, the classroom team balked. They stated
that we were taking too much for granted on what knowledge a new

section[1]. You are now speaking in a language that I do not
understand, so there is about zero chance of a new comer
understanding it.</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <font face="Verdana">So,
in an effort to bring more focus and exposure to manual
testing, I've been a bit busy setting up a cleaner way
for everyone to contribute testcases. In that vein, I'd
like to announce that the manual tests on the tracker(s)
are now all on launchpad. There is a launchpad project
and you can branch and submit merge requests to get new
testcases or testcase modifications in. In addition, you
can easily file bugs when you find something wrong in a
testcase :-) Check the project out here:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests"
target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests</a><br>
<br>
Check out the tests here:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-testcase/ubuntu-manual-tests/trunk/files/head:/testcases/"
target="_blank">http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-testcase/ubuntu-manual-tests/trunk/files/head:/testcases/</a><br>
<br>
So what does this mean for everyone? Let me share my
thoughts and talk about ways you can help.<br>
<br>
It means anyone can see all the testcases in use at
anytime, and feel free to contribute / suggest edits,
just like any other ubuntu project. We will sync the
testcases in the branch to the tracker as updates happen
to the branch. This solves several problems of the
current system; namely, only testcade admins can edit
the actual testcase, and credit for the testcase is not
well represented.<br>
<br>
So what do we need help with?<br>
<br>
1) The QATeam wiki (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam" target="_blank">wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam</a>)
needs updated to reflect the new project</font><font
face="Verdana"><br>
2) The workitems found on the wiki (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TestcaseUpdates"
target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TestcaseUpdates</a>)
moved to bugs on launchpad instead to enable better
tracking. For example, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests/+bug/1109321"
target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests/+bug/1109321</a>.
This will allow us to better describe the tasks. We can
tag them as to-do, and then assign and track and work
them inside launchpad instead of the wiki.<br>
</font>3) And of course, m<font face="Verdana"><font
face="Verdana">anual testcases need to be written and
updated :-)</font><br>
<br>
In addition, I'm working on a tutorial to demonstrate
writing a manual testcase under the new process (similar
to the autopilot tutorial). What else would you all like
to see happen with manual testcases? What would help or
hinder your contribution? Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
