[20:09] <Speedyexe> Hi all Im new here
[20:09] <Speedyexe> 1)Can I have access do development tickets so I will know what exact new features to test?
[20:09] <Speedyexe>  still waiting to be automated, and place where all automated tests are to check them out )
[20:09] <Speedyexe> ;)
[20:10] <Speedyexe> do we have slack? ;)
[20:11] <wxl> it's all on launchpad
[20:13] <Speedyexe> I did not found todays features list on launchpad, where is it?
[20:14] <wxl> there's not a "today's features list" but packages are constantly getting updates
[20:14] <wxl> look at some aspect you're interested in and go from there
[20:15] <wxl> it's not often that things are completely overhauled. they're improved. sometimes new features are added, but again, to existing packages.
[20:16] <wxl> as an example, here's snapd, that allows for snap packages to be installed and run https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd
[20:18] <wxl> also: in general the updates that happen come from debian, which get there changes from upstream.
[20:19] <wxl> there are some obvious exceptions, like e.g. ubuntu-settings or ubuntu-session
[20:20] <wxl> (neither of which have any recent changes)
[20:22] <wxl> there are occassionally calls for testing new things here https://community.ubuntu.com/
[20:22] <wxl> for example, unity
[20:22] <Speedyexe> Ok I will take a closer look on launchpad (I can see blog is somekind of brief changelog that gives me idea what is happening with builds)
[20:23] <wxl> there's a lot of "packaging" work that gets done in ubuntu but generally not a lot of new code. the exception are those pieces that canonical is really involved in. again snapd is a great example.
[20:24] <wxl> the desktop team also provides updates on the above
[20:24] <wxl> the number one thing you can do as a tester is do iso testing. better yet: across all flavors and on as much hardware as you can throw at it.
[20:25] <Speedyexe> ok understood, compability with hardware mostly
[20:25] <wxl> not entirely, no, but partially
[20:25] <wxl> the other thing is to sure the whole ecosystem works together
[20:26] <wxl> testing the installer, mostly
[20:26] <wxl> exploratory testing on top of that is also beneficial
[20:27] <Speedyexe> ok that gives me ideas, thanks I will check daily builds http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[20:28] <wxl> you can report the results of your tests at iso.qa.ubuntu.com
[20:29] <Speedyexe> ok thx
[20:29] <wxl> i will also add that the flavors are generally much smaller teams and get much less testing and use than ubuntu proper. i would urge you to help out there wherever you can.
[20:32] <Speedyexe> Yeah much smaller teams, I'm checking flavors right now https://ubuntubudgie.org/team
[20:33] <wxl> there's Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu MATE
[20:33] <wxl> Ubuntu Kylin if you are good with chinese :)
[20:34] <wxl> oh and there's Ubuntu Studio which is interesting because it's developed as both an independent flavor and a sort of "add on" to any system
[20:34] <wxl> there are IRC channels for all of them. generally #flavorname-devel is a good place to go
[20:35] <Speedyexe> nice im checking out here https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours
[20:44] <Speedyexe> ok thanks for introduction, I will read more and get back if I will need more ^^ thanks and see ya ;)
[20:46] <wxl> thanks for making ubuntu better :)
[20:47] <Speedyexe> No problem ;)  I need new hobby :D
[20:51] <wxl> there's plenty of work to do XD
[20:59] <Speedyexe> I find this informative on what to test
[20:59] <Speedyexe> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiscoDingo/ReleaseNotes
[20:59] <Speedyexe> and this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue587 section Security Updates
[20:59] <Speedyexe> ^^
[20:59] <Speedyexe> and this to have idea who is doing what
[20:59] <Speedyexe> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teams
[21:00] <Speedyexe> well theres plenty of ubuntu pages to explore xd
[21:00] <wxl> don't bother testing Disco, really.. Eoan is in development. that's what needs help
[21:01] <Speedyexe> yeah but theres no release notes xd
[21:01] <wxl> of course not
[21:01] <wxl> it's a moving target
[21:01] <Speedyexe> xd
[21:01] <Speedyexe> I understand :D
[21:02] <wxl> there's ways that you can see every update to every package but you'd be overwhelmed
[21:02] <wxl> you'd also be struggling to figure out what each change does
[21:02] <wxl> not every change has some significant effect
[21:02] <wxl> some are just for build reasons....
[21:04] <Speedyexe> that complicates a bit but I understand
[21:05] <wxl> it's best to find an area you're interested in and go for that
[21:05] <Speedyexe> is there a way to see list of tickets that developers do? some kanban agile board?
[21:06] <wxl> no
[21:06] <wxl> some flavors might have them
[21:06] <wxl> i know lubuntu and kubuntu both do
[21:08] <Speedyexe> ok good to know
[21:09] <Speedyexe> I got to go because its like 23:00 see ya tomorrow ;)
