Code:
* elfy still doesn't understand all that cadence stuff
<balloons> :-( I'm sorry elfy
<elfy> good job I'll be testing xubuntu
<elfy> :)
<balloons> Well, what are you still missing?
<elfy> oh d'oh just realised I'll be doing arm as well ... lol
* cwayne (~cwayne@pool-98-118-37-160.bstnma.fios.verizon.net) has joined #ubuntu-quality
<elfy> balloons: I suspect what I am missing is the more normal term people would use :)
<balloons> elfy, sure sure
<balloons> basically we're going to have test-a-thons if you will every couple weeks
<balloons> each time we'll pick somethng else to focus on
<balloons> we'll pull the tests from the tracker and make a milestone for them and have people report on them
<elfy> ok - that makes sense :)
<balloons> so for next week I've got to pull the tests and make the milestone and announce i
<elfy> we'll not be doing that
<balloons> it's that simple
<balloons> everyone will have saturday - saturday to test and report
<elfy> well kind of we will - when we have something we need specifically testing then we'll be shouting
<elfy> right - and then the 'other' week is not cadence testing, just normal dailies I assume
* elfy likes the idea of that with arm
<elfy> ty balloons :)
<balloons> the other week is an off week
<balloons> I'll be doing things like maintaining and updating tests, playing with bugs, etc, etc
<elfy> but dailies will be updated daily still?
<balloons> writing new tests
<balloons> yes dailies will update, and no one is stopping your from running them if you wish :-)
<elfy> okey doke
<balloons> our focus is just much wider than the iso's now
<elfy> yea - as it perhaps should be
<balloons> <3
* alourie_lunch has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
<elfy> so it in effect gives people longer than a day to test - have the whole of a week to do so in
<elfy> is that correct?
<balloons> yes, exactly
<balloons> flexibility
<balloons> we're spread out and it's so much easier for you to plan to help out at some point in 7 days, rather than 7 hours
<elfy> k - I will post that on the forum, bit of confusion I think
* balloons hasn't been to the forum
<balloons> I've been a bit busy
<balloons> but I wanted to hop over there today
<elfy> balloons: has missed this then Confused about cadence testing cycles
<balloons> gotcha..
<balloons> well let's try and clear everything up then
<balloons> I think it should be really understandable after our first (I hope)
<elfy> I'll just post this over there :)
I was a bit confused too - hope this helps a bit, bear in mind when I'm talking of we I mean Xubuntu
If so are all iso/upgrade testers expected to test every day of that cycle?
As far as I can see - it means you have a week to test in rather than a day.
