For the next hug day, on Tuesday, June 24th, we will be doing something quite different. We generally focus on moving bugs from the New status to Incomplete or Confirmed, but on the next hug day we'll work on helping move bugs from Fix Committed to Fix Released! We'll do this by verifying that packages in the hardy-proposed repository fix the bugs they were designed to and that the package still functions that way it should. The list of targeted bugs and tasks is posted at:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20080624

Our goal is to have at least two people test every bug in that list. In particular there are a number of installer, Wubi, and Java fixes that we'd like to verify. So on 24 June 2008, in all timezones, we'll be meeting in #ubuntu-bugs on irc.freenode.net for a very special Ubuntu Hug Day.

Okay, okay so it's a small virtual screen, but it's a start.

UME (Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded) is not ready for your mobile phone or pda yet, but it will work on the new batches of ultra small x86 pc's that are emerging from major manufacturers.

So you've seen the pretty picture and now you want it. Well follow the simple guide here and you can test it on your pc using KVM (kernel virtual machine) or MIC (moblin image creator). There are a bunch of things to try out here.

If you think it's great and want to complement everyone, or your having issue, you can find them on #ubuntu-testing and #ubuntu-mobile.

If you find bugs, glitches, design flaws etc report them here .

Thanks for the help and happy mobile testing.

Hello,

Last week I was requesting everyone interested in helping making Hardy Heron the best Ubuntu release ever to come and help us test ISO images.
I think we can say it was a great success as we had all the testcases done in time, lots of bugs found and fixed for most of them.
I want to say a big thank you to everyone involved in testing Hardy so far.

Now with the final release due to Thursday (24th) we will need even more testers during this week.
Testing for final release is absolutely identical to what we did for the Release Candidate except that we would like every testcases to be tested twice.

If you want to help, please join #ubuntu-testing on irc.freenode.net where we will be hanging the whole week coordinating testing.

Our testing procedures can be found here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures
and the testcases here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases

Pick the one you prefer or ask for one in #ubuntu-testing and follow it step by step.
Then report your results on our tracker : http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com (login is the same as Brainstorm and other QA websites)
If you find a bug, report it : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

Testing can be done in a virtual machine (Virtualbox for example) or on real hardware (preferred). As Hardy is still not in a final stage avoid doing install/upgrade on production computers.
