Re: Testing in 64-bit vs. 32-bit
Hi Lee, In the ubuntu world System 76 and zareason prefer ship 64 bit systems. Most systems will have to move over to 64bit very soon because the address space problem. Have a look at the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit The one good thing ubuntu developers do is use python which isnt architecture specific. So most of the userspace applications update-manager, ubuntu software center, computer janitor... all dont need to be tested on every platform. The market value for 64bit linux?? Its just a change in the address space so its not too much different than the 32 bit kernel in any case. If you want the value of the linux kernel its worth about 3 billion in a proprietary environment according to the European union :) Regards Shane Fagan# On Wed, 2009-12-09 at 14:19 -0800, Lee, Ju-hyoung wrote: > I am not sure if 32-bit test execution is sufficient rather than > having 64-bit one.

Testing in 64-bit vs. 32-bit
I am not sure if 32-bit test execution is sufficient rather than having 64-bit one. So far, the most of things are duplicated or the same. Can any of you help me to see the different from 64-bit OS oriented? Also who knows the market value for 64-bit Linux OS and who cares? Any vendor or OEM interested 64-bit in the world? Anyone helps me to see the architectural difference inside the system?

Tests from Italian LoCo Team
Hi everybody, My name's Paolo, from Italian LoCo Team. During last UDS I attended to the "Increase community involvement in testing" session and with my friend Alessio Treglia (https://launchpad.net/~quadrispro) we decided to set up a testing team inside our LoCo to make easier testing Ubuntu. I just set up the Italian wiki page (1) where we're traslating English pages to Italian. Also we'll provide mentoring for new member in reporting test and bugs in a proper form. During this initial phase I would like to know what you suggest us for first test cases. I was wondering to suggest to new contributors Live CD testing making it really easy and creating a first community around tests. What do you think? Do this make sense for you or it should be better cover another kind of tests?

Re: My introduction
I would like to add that Grant has already started working on making LoCos involvement in testing easier by improving the documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/LoCos Thanks Grant!

Re: Another new member
Hello Marisa, welcome! It is true that this mailing list has been a bit quiet in the last year, but this is going to change. In our last meeting [1], we decided that this mailing list was going to be our communication channel, so expect a rise in the number of threads per month. How do you want to get involved with the QA team? If you are interested in testing, this is the perfect week to start, as we are going to release Lucid Alpha 1 on Thursday and we need to test it. Please, check the ISO testing procedures [2] to know how to help and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Regards, Ara.
