FableflameSo, how could a noob like me be useful around here?00:26
alourieFableflame: well, that's too generic of a question. What would you like to do? Testing, sorting bugs? writing some stuff? advocating? there's a lot to do...05:16

brendandgema - are you planning to create a subpage for each task on : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TasksPrecise (or link to a blueprint if appropriate)10:03
gemabrendand: I have no plans yet, didn't know how to handle it so I created a wiki10:04
gemabrendand: sounds like a good idea to have subpages for that10:04
gemabrendand: since in the blueprints we need to put people's launchpad ids and I don't know most people's ids (plus the work is going to be collaborative) I haven't figured out how to do that10:07
brendandgema - since the bp's are used for status.ubuntu.com you probably don't want people messing with them. better to co-ordinate on a wiki and have one or two people updating the blueprints10:08
gemabrendand: ack10:08
brendandgema - for the testcases in the tracker, shall we update them in place? or leave them as they are there and update them somewhere else?10:09
gemabrendand: I would like to see them in a spreadsheet, like the one I uploaded to the wiki10:10
gemaso that we can put them in the TCMS of our choice once they are reviewed10:10
gemaand approved10:10
gemawe may end up with some spreadsheets , one per person or so, but at least we know they are good and finished10:10
brendandgema - which spreadsheet?10:10
* gema looking at the email again, I keep losing wiki links...10:11
gemabrendand: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TestCase <- look at the bottom of this page10:12
brendandgema - i added links to the current testcase tracker and the page above in the task on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/TasksPrecise10:16
brendandgema - do you think we could give the tasks a name? instead of calling them tasks 1-7 :)10:17
gemabrendand: go for it xD10:18
gemabrendand: I would have trouble finding a name for my own child, so you better take that (since you have more experience naming)10:18
gemabrendand: any changes you deem necessary feel free to do them and inform the list afterwards, or report them in today's meeting, whichever works for you10:19
gemabrendand: thanks!10:20
brendandgema - the meeting is from 5-7 right? for both topics?10:22
FableflameWhoa, activity!10:27
gemabrendand: the meeting is for all we've done this week10:27
FableflameFigures you guys are active when I should be sleeping, lol.10:27
gemabrendand: things that are in the list and things that we are doing but are not in the list10:27
gemabrendand: i.e. difficult to share and needing access to internal systems10:28
gemaFableflame: indeed10:28
brendandgema - great, i have it on my calendar now10:29
FableflameSo say I wanted to get involved in Testing. What should I be testing? I've already install 12.04, should I just use it like I would every other day, or is there a list of procedures?10:34
brendandFableflame - we do have a list of test cases, but as the email says they are out of date and not very good11:04
=== _salem is now known as salem_
brendandFableflame - For effective testing you shouldn't use it 'as you do everyday' but try doing as much as possible, doing unusual things etc11:05
brendandReally effective testing is controlled and based on knowledge of the software design and past experience, and encoded in test cases11:06
FableflameHmm. I'm a bit lacking in knowledge.11:07
=== bladernr_afk is now known as bladernr_

brendandgema - i need to babysit now so i won't be that active in the QA meeting unfortunately16:47
gemabrendand: no problem, you can answer to anything on the list later16:48
gemabrendand: I will publish the log straight away16:48
