<b><big>Where we are</big></b><br>
<br>
We've made a start, faltering, but a start at least on testing
images and packages for the Trusty release.<br>
<br>
Currently (26/11/13) there are:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>3 reported tests for 64bit over the last 27 days<br>
10 reported tests for 32bit for the same period.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Package testing is faring slightly better with 11 of the 12
mandatory tests having been run once (or at least reported) - none
of the run-once or optional packages have been tested.<br>

In 3 weeks we'll hit the first Alpha milestone. I hope by then to be
able to report an uptick in reported numbers.<br>

<br>
We've got 34 people currently active in xubuntu-testers [1] - let's
get some of those numbers translating into test results. <br>
<br>
To try and help with this we have started to post QA related items
on the website - these in turn get posted to Twitter and Facebook
pages - we're hoping to increase our testing footprint by doing so.
<br>
<br>
Release seems a long way from us at present - but it's not.<br>
<br>
In addition we will shortly be in a position to start testing some
of the planned additions for this release [2] [3], which is going to
increase the pressure on our testers.<br>
<br>
We know that we have the people out there testing - we had 27 people
reporting against various tests, both for images and packages. <br>
<i><br>
</i><i>Every test that gets run increases the chance of bugs being
found, but for us to know, it is important that any test run is
reported on the tracker.</i><br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
