[00:27] <ScottL> TheMuso, i am guessing you mean me specifically rather than in the general community sense
[00:27] <ScottL> i should be starting to test the next ISO this Friday
[00:27] <TheMuso> ScottL: the community sense.
[00:29] <ScottL> i've read some very complimentary emails from teza and laurent, so i would view that positively :)
[00:29] <ScottL> TheMuso, ^^^
[00:29] <TheMuso> ScottL: Ok are they putting their results on the tracker?
[00:30] <ScottL> TheMuso, i don't know at this time...i was going to look when I downloaded the ISO
[00:30] <TheMuso> ok
[00:30] <ScottL> but i speculate many are not
[00:32] <ScottL> TheMuso, i just checked and the numbers that are reporting testing with qatracker are low :(
[00:33]  * TheMuso sighs
[00:33] <ScottL> i think i'll send out another email about reporting ISO testing with some links
[00:33] <TheMuso> The tracker matters. If we don't complete testing for an arch, it doesn't get released, as evident by beta 1 amd64.
[00:35] <ScottL> TheMuso,   amd64 has all tests completed (4/4) and i386 has one remaining...i will take care of that this Friday
[00:35] <TheMuso> hrm I'll see what one is left.
[00:35] <TheMuso> Beta 2 may be released by friday
[00:36] <ScottL> okay, i can do it tonight then...it's the full disk
[00:36] <TheMuso> Ah ok, I may also be able to do it. Just gotta sort out a machine to do it on...
[00:36] <TheMuso> Probably a VM is good enough.
[00:41] <ScottL> i'm also trying to get skype working on another machine to interview with the open source musicians podcast
[00:41] <ScottL> having trouble getting everything working :(   thinking about adding pulseaudio-module-jack and trying it with jack also
[00:42] <TheMuso> skype works with pulse, if you use the latest beta
[00:43] <ScottL> i was using ubuntu studio and skype 2.1beta
[00:44] <TheMuso> hrm ok
[00:45] <ScottL> i got in working on my hardy partition but it doesn't sound very good, so i at least have that fall back
[00:51] <TheMuso> right
[01:12] <ScottL> heh, rebooted from hardy into lucid and now skype works on test call :)
[03:12] <ScottL> TheMuso, tested the ISO and reported :)
[03:14] <TheMuso> ScottL: ok thanks heaps.
[03:15] <ScottL> TheMuso, so if beta 2 isn't tested there the RC isn't released?
[03:15] <ScottL> s/there/then
[03:15] <TheMuso> ScottL: no, the RC gets tested as well.
[03:15] <TheMuso> so fi there is no beta 2, there still can be an rc.
[03:15] <ScottL> what if the RC isn't tested?
[03:17] <ScottL> TheMuso, when I think about how many "testers" are in the testing team and the level of ISO reporting I get quite cross :/
[03:17] <TheMuso> ScottL: not sure.
[03:17] <TheMuso> I agree.
[03:17] <TheMuso> It is all well and good to test, but you need to report your results somewhere.
[03:18] <ScottL> yes, there are quite a few people who test and report to the -user mailing list, i'm really hoping to "encourage" them to report on the ISO
[03:19] <ScottL> perhaps a little education would help, i.e. lack of complete test cases yields lack of next ISO
[03:22] <ScottL> an "official" ubuntu studio blog that fed to Planet Ubuntu would be great so that a weekly Ubuntu Studio fact could be posted
[03:23] <ScottL> i'm going to apply for membership later this month (or early next month) maybe i'll syndicate my own blog then
[03:24] <TheMuso> ScottL: Ok great, I'll support you.
[13:11] <ScottL> TheMuso, thanks for the membership support offer, I really appreciate it
