Newbie questions
Greetings, I sent an email yesterday introducing myself and discussing problems installing Alpha 3 but it is awaiting moderation (it was 50K because attached a log file). I won't repeat that stuff in case it's approved. But I do have questions about getting started in the QA process. I have been reading the Wiki. I signed up for the mentor program but haven't heard back yet so I thought I'd press on. I'm just getting used to all the changes in the UI in Natty. I'm using zsync to update the daily iso. Is it necessary [or helpful] to wipe and reinstall the iso every day? I guess since I'm having install issues, I should, but it's a bit of a process. I've got it figured out using VirtualBox 4 but still can't get it going on real hardware. I haven't tried the trick that worked on VB on a machine yet. Once I install an iso, should I do apt-get upgrade or work with the packages on the CD? What about reporting problems that show up in the logs but not in the UI? Are those worth emails to this list? For example, I'm having trouble with the Update Center so I have to run it from the command line with LD_PRELOAD and in the window I see software-center.apt.aptcache - WARNING - broken packages encountered while getting deps for daily-journal As the new guy, I'm a little shy about filing bug reports until I can figure out if it's me or Natty. Is it better to ask or file bugs that turn out to be my inexperience? I have a lot more questions like these but let's see if this email makes it to the list.

I've been using Unix since 1983 (at least that's the first comment in my .cshrc file) and Ubuntu for about a year. I like Ubuntu and would like to give back a little by participating in QA and perhaps a bit of coding. I've been reading Wiki's and this mailing list, signed up for the mentor thing, but that seems slow moving, so let's try this list. I need some help or focus to get started. I've read that testing on a virtual machine is not as good as a hardware install, but it seems to a good place to start with an alpha release, especially one like Natty which has extensive UI changes. One can do lots of testing in a virtual machine and we welcome any help! I thought I'd start with VirtualBox and load my favorite packages and get the feel of it before I loaded it onto hardware but I can't seem to get it to load. I'm running 10.04 LTS (Linux jsa 2.6.32-29-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 11 20:52:10 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux) on a laptop (I5 4Gb) and a desktop (AMD Phenom X6 16GB). I downloaded the latest Vbox from Oracle (4.04). I use zsync to update a few times over the last week, they all behave the same. The install iso boots but never makes it past the first screen Preparing to Install Ubuntu, attached is the VM log, if anyone can see what I'm missing I'd appreciate it. As mentioned in another post you've certainly hit a bug here. I can run Meerkat (Linux meerkat 2.6.35-27-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 20:25:29 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux) in a VM with the same settings. I've tried a bunch of different ones and both 32 and 64 bit versions. You could test the distribution upgrade process and then be running the development release that way. You'd need to use 'update-manager -d' to get update manager to check for the development release though.

wget problems
Sounds to me like somebody is interrupting your download before it reaches you. They can view and change what you download or upload before it reaches you or the server. The only way you can tell is by using md5sums. These are some security problems that no one can fix - only keep an eye on that md5sums number, they HAVE to match. If they don't, discard the downloaded file right away. If you can use an https:// connection, I would advise you to try that. If it persists after that, then I would get an old version of wget or try ftp or trying a server from the US or a different server for Mexico.

I'm dualbooting Windows 7 and Ubuntu Lucid, and since wubi don't work for 11.04 alpha 1 so I'm asking if there are any program like wubi for installing a second ubuntu OS within ubuntu Lucid, maybe it will work for the 11.04. Or are the wubi fixed in alpha 2? And how do I sign the code of conduct in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx?

You're invited to join Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 2 ISO Testing
Hi everyone! Natty Alpha 2 is due this week and candidate images will start appearing hopefully Today. As usual we'll be asking everyone on the QA team to participate in the image testing to ensure we have good test coverage. The procedures for testing ISO images and reporting results are explained on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures Test results will be tracked on http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ You may have accounts on the tracker from last time. Please register if you are new to this. For this testing session we have established the priority list below: ubuntu-desktop i386 ubuntu-desktop amd64 Ubuntu-server i386 Ubuntu-server amd64 Ubuntu-alternatei386 Ubuntu-alternateamd64 Ubuntu-preinstalled omap Ubuntu-server EC2 i386 Ubuntu-server EC2 amd64 kubuntu-desktop i386 xubuntu-desktop i386 Ubuntu-dvd i386 Ubuntu-dvd amd64 kubuntu-desktop amd64 ubuntustudio-desktopi386 xubuntu-desktop amd64 edubuntu-desktopi386 ubuntustudio-desktopamd64 edubuntu-desktopamd64 Rather than going deep and in order to make sure that there is no big issue left behind, we'll start by running a testcase for each image (/Install/DesktopWhole or /Install/AlternateWhole depending on the image) and ensure that each image have at least been tested once, then we will run the other test cases. Please let us know if you have any questions. We will coordinate testing in #ubuntu-testing on freenode. Please, go there often to see what others are testing or what needs to be tested. Thank you very much for your help and happy testing! -- Jean-Baptiste irc: jibel -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
Re: Testing in USB
On 01/27/2011 10:54 AM, irlandes wrote: Interesting. I haven't done much testing but 10.04 because I'd almost rather take a beating than install a distro to suit my tastes. If USB flash testing is good, I will have to take another look at it. I have accumulated a significant number of flash drives, up to 16GB. I probably can't do dailies, because it takes too long to download. But, I can work on alphas and betas. Well, like I said, you can always use something like Virtuabox, Xen, KVM, etc... use the ISOs and test in a virtual environment... it's valuable testing too. As for USB, There's nothing wrong with using USB sticks to install instead of actually burning CD/DVDs. Whenever I install to bare metal, I use USB sticks. There is a caveat to making bootable USB sticks though... if you use the Startup Disk Creator I mentioned, in some cases, the end result isn't bootable. So if that happens, you'll want to try unetbootin instead which seems to always work (I've never had issues with it at least). Regarding dailies, I don't know what kind of internet connection you have, but if you have the ubuntu-qa-tools package installed, there's a program called dl-ubuntu-test-iso that you can use to grab whatever you're looking for. What most of us who do a lot of ISO testing do is download the ISOs we want and then use that tool and zsync to keep them up to date... you don't need to download the entire ISO every time, zsync just downloads the diff of what you have and what's currently on cdimages.ubuntu.com and then creates the current ISO on your computer locally. It makes pulling the current image a LOT faster. In my case, I keep a full mirror of cdimages.ubuntu.com locally. Using that tool and zsync, I can update the full mirror in about 12 hours, and that's across a 10Mbps DSL line. For a single image I can usually update in just a few minutes. Anyway, good luck!

Do anyone know how to partition the windows hard drive in 2 disks, install ubuntu 10.04 on the normal way on the new partition without grub, after setup restart computer, boot win 7 normally with windows 7 boot manager and after that use wubi and install 11.04 alpha. If one thing will go wrong with boot after that, i can't do it, but if windows 7 boot manager are there as normal, i will do it that way, but i won't change bootloader. I'm using my school computer to it, so everything must be as normal after the setup is over, the only difference is that it will be an Ubuntu Lucid boot entry in the BCD. Is that possible? If that is possible, testing of 11.04 will start soon. Alex!-- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa

Now i have installed Ubuntu Lucid on the normal way my windows 7 is not overwritten, and now the next step is 11.04 in wubi, but now i can do it by myself. Thanks for helping me with the Lucid setup. The BCD is there as Normal, and a Ubuntu entry is added. It was that i meant. I got answer after only 5-10 minutes and that was very good. Now testing can start. Thanks!

Kernel Bug Day Tuesday, February 1, 2011
Hi Folks! I'd like to announce that the next kernel bug day will be next Tuesday. Our focus will be on triaging bugs in the new status and getting them to the next state or requesting more information for them to move further toward closure. I look forward to seeing all of you there. I will be available in all of the usual places: IRC[0], e-mail, etc. so feel free to chat with me if you have questions. I'll be blogging this to the Kernel Team's voices page[1] as well, so there may be updated information available there.

Furthermore, if you could be a scientific celebrity, would you want einstein sitting around with you on saturday morning, while you're sitting in your undies, watching Underdog?...Or better yet, would Einstein want you to violate his Underdog time? Can you imagine Einstein sitting around in his underware? Thinking about the relativity between his pubic nardsac, and his Fruit of the Looms, while knocking a few Dorito's crumbs off his inner brilliant white thighs, and hailing E = mc**2, and licking the orangy, delicious, Doritoey crust that layered his genetically rippled fingertips? But then again, J. Edgar Hoover would want his pantyhose intertwined within the equation. However, I digress, momentarily.

I've acquired both natty-desktop alternate-amd64.
Being their both to large for a CdRom, I'll run them in VirtualBox OSE.

When we build the list based on volume of bugs, we get the most used applications. But when we use the bug heat we get the applications with fewer bugs but which are in need of triage (I'm not saying that the applications with a large number of bugs don't need triage) The list needs a closer look though. For instance: - shotwell is in 1rst position, but when I look at the reports, there are 2 bugs with a heat of 3491, and I don't see anything specific that could explain such a value. Is it the weight of untriaged report being a bit too important or something else ? It doesn't seem to match the bug heat algorithm. Looking closer at the bug heat algorithm it seems that a fair bit of it is based on recent activity. From some of the documentation the theory follows: Bug has been active within the past 24 hours Add 25% of the project's hottest bug's score divided by the number of days since the first activity on the bug in question Bug has not been active* in within the past 24 hours Subtract 1% of the bug heat score for every day of inactivity So it seems to follow that the newest bugs will the highest heat. I guess there is a larger question of what we think makes a bug hot. Initially, I thought the number of users affected, number of subscribers and number of duplicates (among some other things) was a good indicator. Two out of those three things are now cached on the bug table so we could recreate the bug heat without taking into account recent activity. I feel like this might provide a more useful number. - gbrainy, I was surprised to find a game in the list. In fact, there is a very limited number of bugs filed against this package and some of them with high heat. I've triaged the report with the highest heat (300) and it fell to a heat of 12. So the next run of your script should move it lower into the list. - gcalctool, same thing, the first bug had a heat of 237, and after asking for more information it fell to 8. So, yes, this is useful to help us to direct our testing and triaging effort. But the calculation of the bug heat needs to be clarified. Maybe this could be added to the 'Opportunities' list in harvest ? By this do you mean the hottest, those outside the standard deviation, bugs for a package should be listed as an opportunity in harvest?

Kernel Bug Day Tuesday, 7 December, 2010
Folks, It's time for another Kernel Bug Day. We'll be focusing on the Bugs tagged as regression-update [1]. There are currently 118 of these bugs with the vast majority needing tobe tested against the current release as well as the version under development. Any of you who would like to get a head start on triagingthes bugs, please feel free to do so. As usual, the resources needed to triage these bugs appropriately are located on the ubuntu wiki: General Triaging [2], Kernel Specific triage topics [3] and the Kernel Tagging page [4]. I'll be putting more information concerning this bug day up on the wiki [5] so check it often. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Re: Packages to investigate
Hello Brian! shotwell is in quite a good shape since every bug is triaged by shotwell developers themselves. appmenu-gtk does not have too many bugs or anything serious except for some compatibility issues. gabble have a very few bugs reported half of which are not-so-serious crash reports. so I think this method of evaluation is not accurate.

Introducing Products
In the testing team, we've been using the concept of product for some time, to better identify the artifacts that capture our attention, but I am unsure that this concept has been shared with the wider development community. A product is an image containing some portion of Ubuntu software, targeted for some specific installation environment, and released following our release management processes. Some examples of our current products include: Ubuntu Desktop Live i386 Ubuntu Server Alternate amd64 Kubuntu Desktop Live powerpc Ubuntu Netbook Preinstalled armel+omap3 In an attempt to better manage our products, and ensure that each product is well tested and well supported, a more formal means of tracking products is being established, so that each product must be deliberately selected by some team willing to commit to the validation and certification processes, consisting of those who have both the necessary hardware and familiarity with the software to provide effective testing; and each product must have a nominated product manager. Towards that end, each flavour team should consider which installation targets they wish to support, and identify a product manager who will be available as a contact for the release team to provide confirmation of the completion of milestone validations and release approval for each product. Depending on the internal organisation of any specific flavour team, these product managers might be part of the development team, part of the testing team, or part of a management team. In all cases, the nominated product managers should have access to the installation environment towards which their product is targeted. Those interested in following the specifics of the implementation are encouraged to subscribe to the relevant specification (1), which will be used for the tracking of the implementation. I will be contacting each flavour team in the near future to discuss the available installation targets and the set of products to be released with Ubuntu 11.04. Once complete, the set of images produced will be limited to only include those for which product managers have been nominated. 1: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-qa-n-testing-different-architectures -- Emmet HIKORY -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa

Re: Interpreting test results across test runs
* Zygmunt Krynicki zygmunt.kryni...@canonical.com [2010-11-12 00:02 +0100]: W dniu 03.11.2010 17:22, Marc Tardif pisze: [snip] My question is: can we make any reasonable assumptions about the tests that were not run? This can be a matter of opinion where one extreme might not make any assumptions at all, whereas another extreme might assume that test results remain the same until proven otherwise. So, I'm calling for your opinions on what you consider is reasonable. Unless you have reliable information on how to handle such condition in the test case meta data *and* can sufficiently guarantee that the meda-data is accurate and up-to-date then you should do very little more than notify the user that the particular test was not run (or not present in the test result data, I don't know how you handle that part). I'm not so much concerned about implementation details, so please disregard any handling part. My question is purely conceptual when interpreting test results across multiple test runs. I'm simply wondering what kind of assumptions are reasonable in order to represent this information in a way that matches user expectations. Chris Gregan and his team, Massimo in particular, are particularly prone to this use case where only running a single test should essentially inherit the results from the previous test run. This is probably a side effect of having to run manual tests because it's very resources intensive to run all the tests again. In additioni to this use case, I believe that this is actually quite common when running automated unit tests. For example, if I just run the tests for a particular module, I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that all the other tests still have the same results until proven otherwise, ie until running the whole test suite again. Furthermore, I also think it's helpful to make this assumption that test results remain the same until proven otherwise when reporting test results. When I look at a project, I want to see the all the latest test results even though they might not have all run at the same time. -- Marc Tardif marc.tar...@canonical.com Freenode: cr3, Jabber: c...@jabber.org 1024D/72679CAD 09A9 D871 F7C4 A18F AC08 674D 2B73 740C 7267 9CAD -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list Ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa

Hello all, Sorry for being late with the notes. == SRU Testing (jibel) == * Over the past 2 weeks 187 packages have been published to stable releases. The complete report can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/SRUReports/2010-11-03 * There was a discussion about including SRU testing opportunities in http://harvest.ubuntu.com as there is also an ongoing effort of adding triaging opportunities to Harvest. == UDS Feedback (all) == * People missed the QA roundtable. We are bringing it back in the next UDS. * People found hard to find QA related topics with the new tracks. A possible solution would be to tag (and this was Marjo proposal) each session with relevant tags. == AOB == * Marjo reminded the need of updating the blueprints This summary and the complete logs are available at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Meetings/20101103 Next meeting is today at 19:00UTC.

Launch Control PPA
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone. With the help of Paul Larson we now have a Launch Control PPA. Currently it does not have the most interesting package (dashboard) but we're slowly getting there. The ppa is at: https://edge.launchpad.net/~linaro-infrastructure/+archive/launch-control I have created a daily build of the first package: python-linaro-json. This package contains the JSON utilities that I've developed for launch control. As soon as the dust settles out and I'm comfortable with packaging I'll release and upload a non-daily build. (Q: what is the best way do to that with launchpad?) Next in the queue for that PPA is a python package for working with dashboard bundle files (extracted from the current dashboard code base). I hope that those two packages can make it to natty eventually and help the nice folks in Ubuntu QA to produce test results not as unstructured text files but as bundle files. Hopefully this will allow them to store those files as they currently do and later on decide to either push them to a dashboard instance of their choice or convert them to launchpad subunit format (yes! it's _should_ be possible to convert all data to subunit) once that is ready for production.

For example, consider the following test results for the first test run of a given project: test1: Pass test2: Pass test3: Fail Then, consider the following partial test results for a second test run of the same project: test1: Pass The second test run only executed the first test and, for the sake of this example, we can safely assume that this was deliberate and the test runner process did not crash and burn. My question is: can we make any reasonable assumptions about the tests that were not run? The assumption is that something was changed in the release that QA thought could break test1 so only ran it to confirm.

It is not clear which files / applications are targetted, and what the expected output is.

Suggestions and comments are welcome. snr-001: Entering the password is not needed when testing via LiveCD, this should be mentioned. Done. snr-002: Executing more than 30 cycles of sleep/wakeup could lead to hardware damage, limiting the cycles to 5 should be really enough! This kind of test is present even in checkbox, I don't have an answer about this. Maybe a member of kernel team could clarify this. him-001: It is not clear, if this applies only to internal card readers only. It should be clear because it's in the system section. External card reader tests are in USB section (hum-*). khk-001: The expected behaviour is, that Ubuntu also shows the volume meter on screen; but on many older machines the volume is adjusted, but the user is not given appropiate (visual) feedback. This should be included in this test case as well, to spot the affected machines. This test is about checking if multimedia hotkeys do the appropriate action after pressing them. (e.g. lowering volume) Some laptop hotkeys are not mapped yet and this need to be reported (for example). The issue you are reporting is a visual one and even if it doesn't seem to be an hardware problem it should be reported as bug as well, specifying it on the bug description. hsi-001: the media file fables_01_01_aesop.spx seems to be outdated, there is other media included in 10.10; It should be also verified, that the sound plays correctly and does not produce any stottering hhi-001: see hsi-001 Now it should be ok. his-001: Changing refresh rate not covered his-001: (video in general) there is no test case to test for fluent video playback (maybe except exc-001) We are testing laptops, that should be important using crt monitors. About fluent video playback,exc-001 test could be sufficient to cover it. In fact, an application test (mediaplayer) should be considered, not an hardware one. bfu-001: Not clear, what is meant by app - is this the whole operating system? It should be ok now. hpu-002: Ubuntu has various bugs regarding wrong paper size (especially A4 vs. letter) in some drivers, this should be verified here as well. As mentioned before, this could be considered in an application test, not an hardware one. Anyway this shouldn't prevent you or someone else to report and link bugs you find doing a test, even if not directly related to it. hpu-002, hds-001, hds-002, hds-003, hds-004 : missing here - at least some of them should be included into LaptopTesting as well, this is pretty important for many mobile users Good point. Other, general aspects: * the template for the Laptop entries (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Reports/Template) is *very* incomplete. Most people seem to include info like lshw output, dmidecode details etc. - why is this all missing in the template? Therefore, instead of re-using the template, testers have to copy/paste the structure around from existing reports. This is because the original template included just a table, then some people start adding other info on their own without mentioning in ML or changing template. For Natty I'm going to enrich it with other data to be filled in by users. * the main wiki page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Reports) has no consistency regarding the naming of the tested editions What do you mean? Putting the edition name in that page should be sufficient. It would make testing Ubuntu (Pre-)Releases a much more pleasant experience, if you could update the test plan and look into the mentioned issues. I strongly believe there are much more people out there who would be willing to contribute to systematic Laptop Testing, but finding the wiki pages and test plan in the current (not very useable) state could be pretty frustrating. Thank you very much Daniel for your suggestions. The laptop testing is a community project so everyone can help and contribute updating testcases and suggesting improvements etc. In the future feel free to keep on sharing your thoughts and proposing your ideas here in ML so we can discuss together. Regards, Sergio. P.S.: Apart from issues you mentioned, I can say that the main problem of this project is the use of wiki pages to report results. I proposed a blueprint to integrate the laptop testing in the ISO tracker, and it'll be discussed at the Ubuntu Developer Summit for Natty [¹] P.S.2: Thanks to people that helped updating
Re: Outdated Laptop Test plan makes testing a less pleasant experience
Hello Sergio, thanks a lot for your comprehensive answer. I will try to further clarify / refine some of the mentioned points: exc-001: There is no example folder / symlink anymore, the content was moved to /usr/share/example-content already some time ago. It is not clear which files / applications are targetted, and what the expected output is. (not only the applications should start correctly, but they should also handle the files correctly) In fact I don't know how to handle this, because I don't know actual and future plans about this folder. Suggestions and comments are welcome. As far as I understood it, the main goal of the LaptopTesting effort is to do a system test for *future* Ubuntu Releases, not for past ones. Therefore - if there are any system changes which require changes in existing test cases (like with the examples folder) - the changes should be reflected in the test plan, so that the testers can execute the test cases on the future (current alpha/beta/rc...) pre-releases. Perceiving traceability could be achieved simply done by mentioning in the Test Report, against which Test plan (=currently that would be the version of the wiki pages) the tests have been carried out. snr-001: Entering the password is not needed when testing via LiveCD, this should be mentioned. Done. Looks good. Maybe it should be considered tomark the optional test steps more eye-catching, i.e.: 3b. (only applies in Live Environment) You should be presented with a password prompt; enter your password snr-002: Executing more than 30 cycles of sleep/wakeup could lead to hardware damage, limiting the cycles to 5 should be really enough! This kind of test is present even in checkbox, I don't have an answer about this. Maybe a member of kernel team could clarify this. I would appreciate this very much. Could you try to get an answer from the kernel team? (I dunno if they read this list) him-001: It is not clear, if this applies only to internal card readers only. It should be clear because it's in the system section. External card reader tests are in USB section (hum-*). Alright, but then some description (just one sentence) of what is meant by system level tests would be nice in the test plan, maybe with the remark, that tests for hardware which is not present shall be skipped. khk-001: The expected behaviour is, that Ubuntu also shows the volume meter on screen; but on many older machines the volume is adjusted, but the user is not given appropiate (visual) feedback. This should be included in this test case as well, to spot the affected machines. This test is about checking if multimedia hotkeys do the appropriate action after pressing them. (e.g. lowering volume) Some laptop hotkeys are not mapped yet and this need to be reported (for example). The issue you are reporting is a visual one and even if it doesn't seem to be an hardware problem it should be reported as bug as well, specifying it on the bug description. Well yes, it's a usability problem at first sight. But actually there is hardware where the driver supports this visual feedback (i.e. on my Thinkpad X301) and there is hardware, where the driver does not support that. I guess this is related to ACPI event handling etc. - but since the software already supports the visual feedback, it's a system bug if the driver does not notify the software about the action that happened in here. hsi-001: the media file fables_01_01_aesop.spx seems to be outdated, there is other media included in 10.10; It should be also verified, that the sound plays correctly and does not produce any stottering hhi-001: see hsi-001 Now it should be ok. Great! his-001: Changing refresh rate not covered his-001: (video in general) there is no test case to test for fluent video playback (maybe except exc-001) We are testing laptops, that should be important using crt monitors. About fluent video playback,exc-001 test could be sufficient to cover it. In fact, an application test (mediaplayer) should be considered, not an hardware one. This is also a video driver, and therefore a system issue. On some drivers (i.e. Intel GM855) the playback only works in normal window but not in fullscreen. There you get either a disorted picture, or not the full available screen size is used for feedback. So, there are laptops where it works fine (with the same media player version and media file) and there are laptops where it fails. bfu-001: Not clear, what is meant by app - is this the whole operating system? It should be ok now. Perfect! hpu-002: Ubuntu has various bugs regarding wrong paper size (especially A4 vs. letter) in some drivers, this should be verified here as well. As mentioned before, this could be considered in an application test, not an hardware one. Anyway this shouldn't prevent you or someone else to report and link bugs you find

Improving Communication Feedback Report
Hello all! During UDS Maverick we had a session about improving the communication channels in the Ubuntu QA team. It was more about improving processes, and using better and more often the channels that we already had. Now that the Maverick cycle is finishing is time to look back and see what work well and what didn't work that well, so we can discuss it during UDS Natty and keep improving our processes. *The meetings* One of the main outputs of that session was about the weekly meetings the we have on IRC. People found that the meeting times were too fixed and that the meeting minutes were not always sent and stored. Some of the actions items to improve this situation were: * A rotating chair * A rotating time of the meeting, to accommodate more people * The chair was going to send a summary to the mailing list The feedback collected from the survey I sent a week ago is very positive: * 84.6% of the people that replied the survey thought that the rotation of time is useful * 50% increased their participation thanks to the rotation * 100% of the people read the summary sent to the list! One of the main concerns about the rotation of the meeting is the predictability. People sometimes are surprised about the time, and can't make it to the meeting. One possible solution would be that the chair, instead of sending the reminder the same day or the day before, sends the reminder on Monday, first thing, so people have a couple of days to read the email and organize their week. Another issue related to meetings that I have observed during the Maverick cycle is that, the chair, if it is the first time that he or she chairs the meeting, has a very hard time trying to find documentation on how to chair the meeting, where to get the logs afterwards, where to put the summary and logs and when to send them. To solve all of these issues, I have created a small documentation on the Meetings page to help new people who are chairing to find their way: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Meetings/Chairing *The Launchpad Team* In the Maverick cycle the Ubuntu Testing team got 46 new members and 20 membership expired. That's an increase of 26 members this cycle, which is an 8.4% increase. *The Mailing List* During the Lucid cycle, 404 messages were sent to the mailing list. During the Maverick cycle 274 messages were sent. We have to take into account that I counted from May 1st until 30 September (5 months) That makes an average of 67 messages per month in the Lucid cycle and 68.5 messages per month in the Maverick cycle. Numbers are very similar, but subscribers have increased a lot in the last cycle, from 703 at the end of the Lucid cycle to 970 readers subscribers right now. That's an increase of 37.98%!! *The IRC channels* We have three channels QA-related in use: #ubuntu-bugs, #ubuntu-testing, #ubuntu-quality. These are the results from the survey when I asked the question Are you familiar with the following IRC channels? * #ubuntu-testing: 91% * #ubuntu-quality: 50% * #ubuntu-bugs: 50% The channel #ubuntu-quality seems to be in need of some rethinking. Less people knows it, very few people actually use it. We should rethink the way we use this channel and explain better what's its purporse. Any ideas? Also, although the #ubuntu-bugs channel is used, only half of the people subscribed to Ubuntu QA is familiar with it. Pedro, can you prepare an email to Ubuntu QA explaining #ubuntu-bugs channel and other resources for triagers? *The new landing page* We have created a new landing page at http://qa.ubuntu.com but, as the page just went live a couple of weeks ago, we would gather information at UDS and we might as for feedback at the end of the Natty cycle, when we have enough data about it. One of the suggestions that I got in the survey is that, now that we have increased participation, it is time to improve the documentation. I couldn't agree more. I am working with the Community team with their Community Review project [1] to try to understand what issues the new contributors have to face before they feel confident contributing. Improving that new contributor first experience is going to be one of my goals during Natty cycle. To sum up, I think that the balance of these changes has been positive. Let's work together again during Natty UDS and cycle to keep the improvements and build a great Ubuntu QA community!! Thanks all! Ara.

Sorry for the real late reply on this...

Stephan Harz Think maybe you could get your friend to provide something useful in the way of details? Saying My friend has a problem installing. it may be a bug. Can you test this. really doesn't help much. FWIW, I've done at least a hundred or so installs of 10.10 going all the way back to the first alpha ISO. The RC had no issues for me at all (though there is at least one issue with booting the installed system). In any case, more details would be helpful here.
