to thanks Elfy for all the work he has been doing about QA,
his work and attitude where excellent to provide a good
feedback between finding errors and reporting them. The calls
for test where visible and he was available to support any new
testers landing on the irc channel.<br>

opinion is that we need a more active social media presence, I
feel that some changes weren’t publicized enough for the
testers to understand them when they happened, of course this
is also something we as the community who cares about the
system should thrive to inform ourself. I think that what I'm
trying to say is that a great part of the problem with getting
more, and more accurate, reports of problems reside in how we
communicate with each other.<br>

Social media is not the right place to communicate every single
change. We have seen in the past how this can create a lot of
negative and even trollish feedback that only distracts the
contributors.<br>
<br>
I would think this problem would be solved by making sure to keep
the team reports up to date and telling testers to keep a track on
those, or alternatively, the meeting minutes. This is something we
have worked on this cycle. If you have other ideas how to
communicate changes that are landing in the development release to
testers, please share them with us.<br>

matter of this, I wonder if it possible to ask a change in the
default homepage of our default web browser to point to a page
asking people to report their experience? that page should
change in the final release.<br>

We are doing this on the installer slideshow. Furthermore, we have
discussed changing the browser frontpage before but it implies
technical (and potentially other) issues we didn't want to face
then.<br>

P.S. If you want to discuss communicating about changes and
development progress to community at large, ways to encourage people
to share their experiences about Xubuntu (in a non-testing related
manner) or changing the browser frontpage further, please start
another thread; don't *reply* to this mail, write a new mail.<br>
