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