Hi, with an increasing amount of features in ownCloud, it becomes harder for the developer community to keep up good quality in all functions ownCloud is offering today. To ensure that, we heavily depend on the people in our community who use this or that feature or setup and can report back how it works, test special setups or give insights on how things should be implemented.
We thought we should put a little more organization around that and as a result I am happy to announce the idea of the "ownCloud Test Pilots". The ownCloud Test Pilots is an open group of community members who have fun to help to improve ownCloud and are willing to do a bit more than a normal user. An ownCloud Test Pilot has any kind of special experience(now or also in the future, for example with setting up ownCloud with other web servers than apache, or with certain platform/database combinations, with LDAP or external mounts or many users or such. For example, somebody running an ownCloud on a Windows server using a Postgresql database would qualify perfectly for the ownCloud Test Pilot group. She or he will be open to communicate with other Pilots and developers about ownCloud, help each other to reproduce error situations and test that upcoming releases work like expected. Note that it's not about supporting other users (that can be done anyway ;-) but about a focused technical group around special setups and effective testing of the various scenarios. How would you join? Simply stand up and introduce yourself on the mailing list [email protected] [1]. Tell us your name and your experience with ownCloud or your area of expertise. Please do that NOW! Over time we will create a "Pilots Lounge" documentation corner and whatever the group of people will come with once we got the wheel spinning. We as a community can make ownCloud great! What do you think? regards, Klaas [1] Subscribe: http://mailman.owncloud.org/mailman/listinfo/testpilots _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
