Our first cadence week is here. Starting June 15th, we'll be testing images and packages over the course of the next week. So what is cadence testing? Have a look at this page to get more information: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence</a> In short, as a community we're testing different things about every ~2 weeks in ubuntu, and sharing results to flesh out bugs and problem areas. The full schedule is here, but note the release schedule changed TODAY, so this will be updated as well to reflect those changes very soon. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Cadence/Saucy">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Cadence/Saucy</a> So what's up for testing this week? The daily images, the default applications in ubuntu (we'll start tracking them all throughout the cycle) and a new version of alsa testing. Full details are here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Cadence/Saucy/Week1">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Cadence/Saucy/Week1</a> If you need help submitting results, have a look at this page, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/QATracker">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/QATracker</a>, and the walkthroughs listed. Of particular interest is the ISO testing and Cadence Week testing walkthroughs. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence/Walkthrough">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cadence/Walkthrough</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Walkthrough</a> 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! Bear in mind this is the first week for our new format, so there may be growing pains. Feedback is very much appreciated. Thanks and Happy Testing everyone, Nicholas PS. A note; as of this email, I am still adding the ubuntu default apps, slowly but surely to the package tracker. They should be there before tomorrow :-) Also the version tracking is still coming online in case your watching :-) </body> </html>
