| joru | Hi | 11:58 |
|---|---|---|
| joru | I'm just new to the qa-list and this channel. want to give something back to the community why i'm initially going to test some isos | 11:59 |
| brendand | hi joru | 12:03 |
| joru | hi brendand | 12:04 |
| joru | so i'm visiting the testing iso procedure and the qa site atm | 12:05 |
| joru | and reading up on them | 12:05 |
| joru | i've got a few computers and some spare hardware | 12:06 |
| joru | so if i understand correctly, something that has not been tested by anyone yet is for example listed in the "untested" section on the iso testing tracker? | 12:07 |
| joru | e.g http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/all/untested | 12:07 |
| joru | or is there a section which i can read on what to prioritise testing on? | 12:08 |
| joru | well alot of my questions are answered as i read. i'll read up on some more. cheers. | 12:17 |
| fader | joru: That's correct -- the 'untested' section is a good way of quickly finding things that need tested | 13:03 |
| fader | joru: Though at the moment we are not testing any images :) | 13:03 |
| fader | Alpha 3 was released last week | 13:03 |
| fader | We'll be testing more at the end of the month, before the release of Beta 1 on 1 September, so we will *definitely* want help then :) | 13:04 |
| joru | fader: ok good to know you are not testing anything | 13:25 |
| joru | fader: is that dicided during the weekly irc sessions? | 13:26 |
| fader | joru: It's discussed at the meetings as needed, but there is a schedule here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule | 13:27 |
| fader | joru: You can generally assume that in the week leading up to a release there will be ISO testing going on | 13:27 |
| fader | And this is the right channel to check in with questions or to see if testing has started | 13:28 |
| joru | ah good schedule | 13:28 |
| joru | didnt see it before | 13:28 |
| joru | at least i now know i dont need to test in vain | 13:29 |
| fader | :) | 13:30 |
| fader | joru: There's also other testing always going on, not just ISO testing | 13:30 |
| fader | If you're bored that is :) | 13:30 |
| joru | well the knowledge acquired from reading and setup of my local environment is done | 13:30 |
| joru | well i report a few bugs here and there when they happen | 13:30 |
| joru | do some translations etc | 13:30 |
| fader | Awesome! | 13:30 |
| joru | but i would like to become more involved in the future | 13:30 |
| joru | since i'm aming to take a different turn with my career | 13:31 |
| fader | Fantastic... great to have you on board! | 13:31 |
| joru | thanx | 13:31 |
| fader | joru: Aiming to do more OSS work? | 13:31 |
| fader | In your career I mean | 13:31 |
| joru | buts most fantastic to have such a great pack of software at hand | 13:31 |
| joru | fader: yes, more software development, and especially in the open community | 13:32 |
| joru | amung other things | 13:32 |
| fader | joru: Excellent! More hackers are always needed! | 13:32 |
| joru | though the learning curve seems a bit steep at times | 13:33 |
| joru | but the challenge is part of the goal | 13:33 |
| joru | brb | 13:33 |
| joru | fader: well i've always liked programming, but didnt go for that as formal education | 13:35 |
| fader | joru: Digging in and just trying it is a great way to learn. And the Ubuntu community in particular is very friendly and helpful in my experience | 13:36 |
| joru | yes i've got taht experience too | 13:37 |
| fader | (Full disclosure is that I get paid to work on it, but I found that to be the case even before that was the case :) ) | 13:37 |
| fader | Er, wait, terrible sentence | 13:37 |
| fader | Argh, hopefully you know what I meant | 13:37 |
| joru | yea :) | 13:37 |
| joru | well part of my plan is to be paid in one way or another to contribute to oss in the future | 13:38 |
| joru | prob sometimes could be lack of formal cs education | 13:39 |
| joru | but what counts in the long run is what you actually do | 13:39 |
| fader | Eh, it doesn't seem to be a big problem if you can point to some things that you've done | 13:39 |
| fader | Exactly! | 13:39 |
| joru | thus i'm going to activate myself more | 13:39 |
| joru | then things get sorted out | 13:39 |
| joru | so do you have any suggeestions of where one could start? | 13:41 |
| fader | Cool... glad to have you on board! | 13:41 |
| joru | preparing packaging? | 13:41 |
| joru | besides bug reporting that is | 13:41 |
| joru | guess i'll ask that q in beginners-dev instead | 13:42 |
| joru | not to flood this channel with nonsence =) | 13:42 |
| joru | glad to be on board. | 13:45 |
| fader | Yeah, that might be a better channel... I can't help much with that | 13:46 |
| fader | But if you come back during ISO testing this channel will be more active :) | 13:46 |
| davmor2 | extremely active infact | 13:47 |
| fader | Heh | 13:49 |
| fader | davmor2: Only because everyone is hanging out and having a good time... there are never any bugs. Ever. ;) | 13:49 |
| davmor2 | fader: Never ever ever, there might be the odd destruction of an iso maybe causing a respin from time to time but never any bugs :D | 13:51 |
| fader | davmor2: Yeah, respins are for aesthetic reasons. Yeah, that's the ticket. To make their MD5sums look nicer. | 13:51 |
| davmor2 | fader: and when that nasty build system breaks it, but that's only so you feel like you under pressure to hit the target right :) | 13:52 |
| joru | fader: yes, i will monitor during ISO testing | 14:07 |
| fader | joru: Great! We'll look forward to having you around! :) | 14:08 |
