Thanks ! next bug hunt session for 3.5.0 planned for January 20 and 21

Thanks a lot to all that joined, supported, helped afterwards and before ... You were great :-)

Info B H S December 28 and 29

Intro

The LibreOffice community is preparing the release of 3.5.0 There is a load of good new stuff prepared (more below...) and we want to make sure that it is well tested. You can now help to make version 3.5.0 a great one! At December 28 and 29 we have an international bug-hunting session. Join :-)

How to join

Get the latest beta (note that it will *not* interfere with your current LibreOffice installation - see also the release notes)

Install and start testing

Report bugs you find





When: December 28 and 29

Any time you want ... however:

Mentors are available from 08:00 UTC to 22:00 UTC on both dates.

You are always welcome to hunt bugs at other dates/times, when you are not able to join this session!





What to test

There are always more ways to test: do your regular tasks, structured tests, or playing with the new features..

Choose what suits best for you :-) All testing is great and important!

So take one of those:

your own favorite features

look at the new 3.5 features

pick up a test case from the standard regression test





Find a bug?

When you are really sure: add it to our bug database. When you want to discuss it, use chat or mail, fast and direct.

So:

If there is a bug that you want to pin point as clear as possible, then bibisect (explained by Bjoern Michaelsen) will be a great tool for you!





Get a little support

Other users, testers, are at irc and the mail list to help with any question.

More info on Litmus, to work with our test cases, is here

If you have an idea for a test case, feel welcome to post this at our QA mailing list





Supported by music :-)

Like some music during the testing? In the Netherlands there is the Top 2000 on radio and internet:

The 2000 songs choosen by the listeners. Broadcast is from December 25 till 31, 24:00.

Perfect music for support and inspiration during this bug-hunting :-) : top 2000
