== Announcing the Ubuntu Testing Day ==
The Ubuntu Testing day is a special day where the Ubuntu Community comes together with a shared goal of testing an specific set of ISO images (Alpha, Beta, RC, Gold or Point releases). Taking the idea from the [[UbuntuBugDay]], we want to apply the same concepts to ISO testing.
The Ubuntu Testing Days are an open, inclusive and safe space to get started contributing with free software communities.

== Join the Testing Day ==
Who can join the Testing Day? Everyone. You don't need to be a developer. You don't need to know how to code. Everyone is welcome. If you don't know how to help, then just stop on by and we'll explain everything to you. In fact, one of the objectives of the Testing Day is to help people willing to start testing Ubuntu to make it better.
Every Friday will be a testing day, and we will host a session in https://ubuntuonair.com. On each session, we will invite a developer from an active and interesting free software project to show us the things they have been working on recently. Then we will show a tool or process we can use to contribute with their current release cycle. During the day we will be available in https://rocket.ubuntu.com/channel/community to help anybody who wants to start contributing.
Line 7: Line 5:
Where to join the Testing Day? Come to '''#ubuntu-testing''' on freenode [[IRC]].
Normal testing activity takes place in '''#ubuntu-testing''' at other times also.
The sessions will be focused on testing as an introduction to the free software world, but we will also cover other things like translations, triaging, packaging, automation, bug fixing and new feature development.
Line 10: Line 7:
== When ==
Normally Testing Days happen two or three days after an Ubuntu release. The next Testing Day is scheduled for [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/UbuntuTestingDay/20080922|Monday, September 22nd, 2008]]. We will be focusing in testing Intrepid Alpha 6 release. Alpha releases are regular testing releases during the development cycle.

Line 17: Line 13:
You can help following these simple steps. If you just want to help in one of the steps, that's OK. If you want to help more going to the following one, that's even better.  * [[https://twitter.com/zygoon|Zygmunt Krynicki]] (zyga): no habla español
