Join Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 1 ISO Testing

Mon Nov 28 13:38:12 UTC 2011

Hi everyone!

Here comes the first milestone of a total of 5 [1] and it's time to test 
what will become the next Ubuntu LTS. Precise Alpha 1 is due this week 
and candidate images will start appearing on Tuesday.

As usual we'll be asking everyone on the QA team to participate in the
image testing to ensure we have good test coverage.

The procedures for testing ISO images and reporting results are
explained on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures

Thanks to the fantastic work of Stéphane Graber, we'll use the new 
version the ISO tracker [2] to test this milestone.

Due to time constraints, the old version has not been upgraded and we'll 
be tracking test results on a cloud instance available at 
http://91.189.93.73

The big difference is the integration with Ubuntu Single-Sign-On 
service, and you'll only require a launchpad account in order to 
authenticate on the new tracker.

If you find any bug with this version of the tracker, you can report 
them on launchpad against the project ubuntu-qa-website [3].

And of course, if you find any bug with the release, report them on 
Launchpad and link them on the tracker as usual.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

We will coordinate testing in #ubuntu-testing on freenode. Please, go
there often to see what others are testing or what needs to be tested.

Thank you very much for your help and happy testing!
