[ubuntu-studio-users] Testing for the coming Ubuntu Studio Zesty Release (17.04)

[Ross Gammon]

Hi Pedro,

It's not just you. :-)

Some of the release team are USA based, and I can sometimes be ready for 
bed here in Europe before there is some action. Or sometimes there is a 
last minute bug somewhere that they want to fix first.

If you are keen to get started, it wouldn't hurt to zsync the Zesty 
Daily image. It will only be one day old, and probably not too much 
different. Then if you want to test again another day with the real 
release candidate, it won't take very long to zsync the changes.

Thanks for helping out.

Cheers,

Ross
PS: We on the release team normally get an email when the image is 
ready. I will forward that as soon as I see it.
