[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Global Jam 2nd-4th March

2012-02-13 Thread Alan Bell 

Hi all,

in a few weeks time there will be a focussed burst of activity on 
Ubuntu, in the form of the Global Jam, which is basically a weekend of 
various activities around the world encouraging people to contribute to 
Ubuntu in some way. You can read more about it here

http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/1443/detail/

and various other places

I am not sure we have any real-world events going on in the UK (but feel 
free to organise one) however we could do some online activities, either 
via IRC or audio using mumble, or a google hangout or something. I am 
keen to go through and document and perhaps fix a bit once more the 
installation process with Orca, if anyone else has suggestions of things 
to do then speak now



Alan.

does this have to do with what trisquel did with their distro?

Could be good to get everyone to just run through checkbox-unity on 
their machine running the latest Ubuntu 12.04 + Unity + Compiz. Even 
from a Live CD or USB key it could uncover bugs we haven't seen yet. I 
found 4 today, one duplicate and 3 new ones, just running through that 
test suite!


It's super easy (if a little time consuming [especially if you find 
bugs]) but very rewarding to uncover and properly document these issues 
_before_ release.


Cheers,
