Testing Day (the day after)

[Ara Pulido]

Hello folks,

Yesterday it was the first Ubuntu Testing Day. Although it was the first
one we already achieved some goals we were trying to get.

First, people seemed very interested on the idea (not only in
#ubuntu-testing, but also in other community channels, like
#ubuntu-women).

We also got some reports on the ISO tracker for Live Sessions (i386 and
also 64 bits, Ubuntu, Kubuntu & Xubuntu).

Focusing in one type of testing (in this case, Live Sessions), seems to
be a good idea, it makes people less overwhelmed with all the possible
testing.

Things that need to be improved:

* cr3's session finally didn't happen, mainly because of a lack of time
on the preparation. I think that having introductory sessions is a good
idea, so we need to prepare those better and in advance.

* We need to include more documentation on how to use the ISO tracker in
the Testing Day page, I think there were people interested on testing,
but didn't know how to track their work done.

* In the future we could develop a tool similar to 5-a-day to help
people to add testing stats.

Anything else that you might think of?

Next Testing day will be Monday, October 6th, some days after the Beta
Release. If you want to help organizing this, or want to give a session
that day, please, let me know.

Please, use the Ubuntu QA list or update the wiki page [1] to add your
ideas.

Let's start then preparing the next Ubuntu Testing Day!

Regards,
Ara.
