Hi all,
So we tested and found problems. Let's talk about our findings tomorrow
and summarize the results to the list. It's likely faster than back and
forth email or posts. I didn't see anyone (in)sane enough in the
community taking part. If you tested, you get an opinion on the process.
Committers: Tomorrow is the last meeting for the year. We won't meet
Christmas or New Years Eve. Even I am not that horrible.

Hello all,
As discussed at the committer meetings earlier this week, starting
next week we are going to try out "(In)Sanity Testing Mondays". The
community is invited to join in.
The goal here is to improve our overall quality substantially with a
small investment. The testing is NOT intended to take a day, or even
half a day - we are targeting 1 hour for testing each week. So clearly
this won't be a deep-dive into each test that you run, it's more of a
quick high-level sanity test. If there is a particular area you are
concerned with, please feel free to spend more time there and less in
other areas, but you do need to run each test that is assigned to you.
On Monday morning, in your time zone, ensure that you have the latest
build and start. We will be running Ensemble and Modena and other
tests but anything is fair game. Committers will have various
assignments and platforms but these are not set in stone until the end
of time.
You don't need to put together any type of formal report, but we
encourage everyone to be online, reading email and available by IM
while running the tests to discuss results real time as necessary.
File JIRA for any new bugs you find and call it done! Be sure to check
the One True Dashboard to see of your bug has been found already.

At the next committer meeting and on the list, we'll be discussing how
things went and how we want to modify and improve the process going
forward, so be prepared with your feedback. None of this is set in
stone, so if it doesn't go well, don't despair - we intend to tweak
this until it does work well.
Cheers, and happy testing!
Lisa, Kevin and Steve
