<br>During the Lucid development cycle (ending with the Lucid release) the<br>Italian LoCo Team have been doing some great work contributing to<br>Ubuntu and I wanted to bring that to the UK.<br><br>The task is to test the Ubuntu ISO (CD) images at certain points<br>
through the cycle. This is a surprisingly easy thing to do, and with a<br>few volunteers and bit of co-ordination it's possible to test all the<br>various flavours and architectures and report bugs to the QA team.<br>
<br>What the Italian LoCo have done is co-ordinate the effort to ensure a<br>spread of testers across Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and other flavours,<br>and 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. There's no single person who has<br>
to test every single ISO, and some people only test one of them. There<br>are points in the cycle (Alpha/Beta releases for example) where more<br>effort is needed, so having multiple people testing the same ISO gives<br>some redundancy as well as ensuring the images are well tested.<br>
<br>What you'd need is a computer and a relatively decent internet<br>connection which you could use to download one or more ISO images.<br><br>Anyone fancy helping out with this? If so just say so here, and we can<br>
work out the details when I get back from UDS.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Al.<br><font color="#888888"><br>--<br><a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br><a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a><br>
