I have posted an article at [[https://www.ideas2projects.org/2012/04/independence-and-partnerships.html|my blog]]. It pretty much defines the current state of affairs in the U+1 Team. I suggest U+1 members should read it.-- [[LaunchpadHome:effenberg0x0]] <<DateTime(2012-04-08T20:28:26Z)>>

  I have sent out several e-mails to members via launchpad users list option. I am trying to determine how many members are active. There was a spam episode in that users were trying to log on and use the ethernet.instance as a back door to deface and alter wiki help pages. Apparently Canonical IS is working on resolving this problem. USers who are not active or are not contributing are given a 90 day notice, If they wish to stay on lomger then can e-mail me and I will gladly increase their access time. As always , to those working diligently behind the scenes, I extend my thanks and kind regards for your efforts.

  We are currently in yakkety yak cycle 16.10 and mark Shuttleworth and his team are ambitiously working on making the unity8 desktop a viable reality, hopefully by the end of this cycle with the possibility of a ubuntu_personal.img mini.iso. Lots of heavy lifting ahead.

  I have been busy as of late .. from one job to the next , one task to the other. Just when I find time to contribute to the wiki I always seem to be called away :( If the wiki is lagging behind a bit it is for the above reasons, However, when I do get time I always find some content to add.

 Effenberg, team Captain is back.
 Tester wiki data was updated to Utopic in May, 2014

 * Updated the tester wiki to current development cycle , Trusty Tahr. (-- [[LaunchpadHome:dale-f-beaudoin]] <<DateTime(2014-02-28T00:45:57Z)>>)

 * Removed sub-topics under 'Install Settings' as all of those topics are discussed in the link provided.-- [[LaunchpadHome:twocamels]] <<DateTime(2012-12-20T15:08:50Z)>>

== 05 November 2012 ==
 * I have gradually made the transition in the testers-wiki from Quantal Quetzel to Raring Ringtail and have added some minimal content. (-- [[LaunchpadHome:twocamels]] <<DateTime(2012-11-05T15:11:27Z)>>)

== 15 April 2012 ==
 * Since I got involved in ISO testing I have become confused as to which test cases I should be running against which ISO images. I found it especially confusing due to the number of ISO images available for all flavours of Ubuntu. I decided to produce some kind of breakdown of the test cases. I have not finished but you can get some idea of what I am trying achieve here -- [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/U%2B1/QaIsoTestCases|Breakdown of test cases]] -- [[LaunchpadHome:grahammechanical]] <<DateTime(2012-04-15T23:15:07z)>>

== 14 April 2012 ==
 * Iv'e been busy building systems and working in the field. In between I have been trying to test the daily build using zsync <time permitting>. Just noticed how well Precise works with Dell Dimension 3100, a 6 year old PC . Seems like they were made for each other. I haven't put up any context as of late. I'll be around. (-- [[LaunchpadHome:twocamels]] <<DateTime(2012-04-15T01:08:06Z)>>)

 * We had a problem with the Wiki Top NavBar, in which it displayed wrapped text depending on the browser (tested on IE/Firefox/Chromium). I have changed it's code and it looks like it's fixed. -- [[LaunchpadHome:effenberg0x0]] <<DateTime(2012-04-14T17:55:14-0300)>>
 * I'm reviewing text formatting, specially CSS text-align:justify in mostly all areas, to give pages a more professional look, despite MoinMoin limitations. -- [[LaunchpadHome:effenberg0x0]] <<DateTime(2012-04-14T17:55:14-0300)>>
 * I think we should add the tutorials (2 iso-testing, 1 rc-testing, 1 VirtualBox) to the Wiki or FAQ areas. It looks more like wiki IMO. -- [[LaunchpadHome:effenberg0x0]] <<DateTime(2012-04-14T17:55:14-0300)>>
 * Our MeetBot is running in test mode, fully functional, for 48 hours. A couple more days and I'll upload it to a Data Center cloud server. A problem I'm working on is that no bot can readily output MoinMoin syntax. And I know no automated way to convert pure HTM into MoinMoin or to properly embed HTM in a MoinMoin-based page. -- [[LaunchpadHome:effenberg0x0]] <<DateTime(2012-04-14T17:55:14-0300)>>.
 * Development of our Team bugtracker tool is now ongoing. It's basically PHP, to render the page, and it invokes Python (LP API) scripts to get LP info into a MySQL DB. I'm starting to feel confident we can have it running (basic features) before QQ Alpha.-- [[LaunchpadHome:effenberg0x0]] <<DateTime(2012-04-14T17:55:14-0300)>>
 * It looks like the default practice in Ubuntu is to have concise Team Reports presented to the CC regularly, which follow some rules. I'm thinking we should use this blog area to keep track of our activities, etc, and create summarized reports in the Team Reports area. So, to adhere to this standard, I might move most of that content to here and create the summarized reports there.-- [[LaunchpadHome:effenberg0x0]] <<DateTime(2012-04-14T17:58:17-0300)>>
== 10 April 2012 ==
 * I have removed the content of the "Activities" area, so it will be ready for Graham's tracker when it becomes ready. Everything there was outdated so it's better to remove anyway.-- [[LaunchpadHome:effenberg0x0]] <<DateTime(2012-04-10T18:23:02Z)>>
 * I feel like it's important to explore this "Blog" area more. See some tests I did at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/U%2B1/AgendaTest/Agenda. I think I'm gonna implement that system here, to make it easier for people to post without having to know anything about the MoinMoin syntax.-- [[LaunchpadHome:effenberg0x0]] <<DateTime(2012-04-10T18:23:02Z)>>
 * I'm also thinking about the "Blueprints" area of the team page on LP. It a professional way to track ideas (like our "Brainstorming" area), have members accept/refuse/prioritize/start them as projects, delegate and keep track, etc. If people see they can suggest stuff and have the group make them real collectively, it might ignite an increase in participation. Let me know what you guys think about it when we talk. -- [[LaunchpadHome:effenberg0x0]] <<DateTime(2012-04-10T18:23:02Z)>>

  • From grahammechanical I have been trying to produce an Activities Planner. You can see my work here: Activities Planner. I hope it will be a place we can go to find out what testing needs to be done and when. Just to show that ventrical is not the only one who can add a smiley (OK) Regards - grahammechanical.

29th March 2012

  • From Ventrical @grahmmechanical- yes.. your right.. Top down , bottom up Smile :) The sprint was (in my opinion) very successful, but, for the most part I could see the chaos and fragmentation of how the q&a process works. I also noticed a lot of dead or 403 wiki links to nowhere. (sorry ... I did not document them.) The jumping around ... link after link , loop after loop, the redundancy is very inefficient and the duplicaton is not necessary - but there it was. And the testing process itself contained a lot of downtime, downtime in the sense that it took a lot of time to wait to test from one process to another.Personally I don't have the speed to download that fast and the usage charges in Canada are just awful but all in all it was a great experience and great to work with a smart group of people.

28th March 2012

Hi all, ventrical here. Just dropping in to say I got a few things started in the topics menus. The wiki-testers site is beginning to shape up. I also see that Effenberg is still formulating template designs and editing in other content matter that concerns the administrative and goal aspects of the wiki. Great stuff Effenberg!!. If anyone sees something I wrote that needs editing or grammar - go ahead and work on it ! I got a lot of great ideas and intend to spend more time here but I often get called away on service calls - but I'll be around as much as I can.

Have a great day and drop in and leave a note! ps .. I know this may not be the right tree to put this in .. but just for now .. perhaps I'll put in a 'log-chat section.

Looks like Effenberg has given us a lot of space to brainstorm in Smile :)

As a casual tester I tried to use this ISO testing "sprint" to become a casual, but serious tester. I am not sure that I succeeded. But I learnt a lot which I will reflect upon so that I can bring my experiences into the wiki as helpful information.

P.S. @ventrical: we are writing this news blog upside down, don't you think? New posts should push the older posts downwards. Yes?

It's been a few days since I have made an entry in the "daily "news log Smile :) anyways.. things are really shaping up. I've been busy (as most of you are). Effenberg has made a new ISO Testing Q&A section which is really great.

  • I'm pooped. I put up some info about hardware. Effenberg did a great job with his tutorial on ISO testing.I've been go , go .. going !! I know the rest of ya have been too. This morning ISO was just rocking right out of the gate ! It worked just beautiful .. faster on the CD than it is on the hdd. Smile :) weird.. I know.
