[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Hi All,

== Blueprints and Status ==

http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-precise/canonical-platform-qa.html
  * Work Item Status for Alpha 1: 
http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-precise/canonical-platform-qa-precise-alpha-1.html

== ISO SmokeTesting / A1 review ==
  * Report: https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Precise%20Daily%20ISOs/

  * All the High/Critical bugs identified this week by QA have been 
fixed excepted bug:894377 (see below)

  * Ubuntu Desktop: KO but need verification with the fix in 
console-setup (Bug:894187 below)
  * Ubuntu Server:  KO
    * Bug:894187: d-i preseeded installation fails because 
keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap is not set
      Fix Released - Verification needed with build 20111125
  * Ubuntu Alternate: OK (Manual and preseeded installation by working 
around bug 894187)
  * Ubuntu Upgrade:
    * Server + MySQL: KO:
      * Bug:894377: mysql-server-5.1is deprecated for mysql-server-5.5 
in precise, should be removed once transition is complete

== What was done engineering wise? ==
  * Automated testing and merging of Unity and related components.
    * Automated tests are run before a branch is merged to trunk and 
accepted only if the tests pass. Then every commit is pushed to a PPA 
for users to get the latest fixes and features before it lands into the 
development release.
    * Announce: 
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2011-November/003492.html
    * Documentation: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutomatedTesting/UnityAutolandingSetup
    * Results: https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Precise%20Unity%20Merger/

  * we are now keeping the last 15 days of ISO in the Lab
    * This will be extended to 1 month (is it worth keeping more?) once 
more storage capacity comes in.
    * Related blueprint: 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-p-builds-smoke-testing

  * It was getting difficult to read the public instance of Jenkins due 
to the amount of jobs running. To make things easier whilst the ISO 
dashboard is up and running, we've added this temporary page: 
https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Precise/

== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? ==
  * Boot speed testing

== Dependencies on other teams, blocking items ==
None.

== Issues? ==
None.

== Other Business ==

  * The Ubuntu QA Team meeting has been split in two, one for talking 
about testing and the other for bug control. From next week onwards 
these will be separate.
