questions about current ways of work in Ubuntu release process
Hi All, Some of you might remember me, some of you won't. I used to be part of the Ubuntu community and loved every minute of it. I've been drawn to some other open source projects since then, but the apparent quality boost I'm experiencing with 12.04 has left me eager and curious about things, not to mention Mark's helped to engage this curiosity[0]. So, I'm terribly curious about: 1) we’ll ratchet up the continuous integration - What sort of continues integration system Ubuntu is using now? I guess its based on Jenkins ? I'd love to read the gory details somewhere. 2) smoke testing - is it done by hand by Ubuntu members, or also taken care of by the CI system? 3) automated benchmarking of the release - How's that done? Again, happy to read the gory details somewhere ;) 4) ..both qualitative and quantitative, with user research and testing continuing to shape our design decisions.. - How is user research being conducted? for testing, I suppose there's the community QA team the has the test cases executed by hand? How is it shaping the design decision? Are there new Launchpad modules that assist in that? 5) Is 'Fauna' another software / cloud component? (I've never seen such a blog post with so many cryptic words for the non native English speaker ;) 6) Where can I read more about 'Quantum' , the virtualized network madness in the cloud ;) ? Kudos to the great team of Ubuntu - reading all of this and asking all those question makes me wanna rejoin the party again, doing some catching up. I might also try to pitch up some of the practices to the other open source projects I'm part of ;) (I've always admired the way we do things in Ubuntu!) -- -Sivan -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Also, I believe you missed your footnote link: [0] http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1121 Sorry I can't help with any of the other more interesting questions.

Phew, I was going to email this to ubuntu-devel but then the bounce back told me only ubuntu-developers are allowed to post to it. He was simply referring to the animal code names that Ubuntu uses.
