Thanks for the fish
As of today - I'll be saying cheerio to you all. I've been about for a while - since sometime before September 2012 - which is when I joined the Official Xubuntu Team. Since then I've tried to keep QA going for us - with not much traction, we currently have many less people testing (or at least testing and letting us know via the trackers), and in May 2018 was voted onto the Xubuntu Council. I've now come to the end of the road - I have other things going on which make the time available to me for Xubuntu to be drastically reduced. The team will need in the near future someone to run the QA for us - and you don't have to be some whizz kid - you don't have to be able to code either. A proactive QA system needs to be in place for Xubuntu to be an Official Flavour - it's part of the deal we have with Canonical/Ubuntu. Of course - we also need a procactive QA system to keep Xubuntu going as the best flavour. Someone else out there needs to take up those reins now. Talk to people on the dev mailing list - and of course on IRC. Once you've made yourself known - I will be hanging about on IRC still - and will happily help you. Of course I would also help you via e-mail as well Many kind regards to all of the members of the Xubuntu Team and to all of you. It's been a blast - mostly Kev -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel

Thanks for the great new release and all of your hard work! And a request...
Thank you, developers! With only a small crew you've done a tremendous job on Xubuntu 16.04. Time for a great Belgian beer: https://pilsje.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/palm_.jpg One request: xfce4-weather-plugin will become partially crippled in June, because of an URL change of the underlying weather service. The developer of that plugin, Harald Judt, has been so kind as to do a quick emergency bugfix release, fixing just the URL issue. But he's done it too late for inclusion in 16.04, because he has released today: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12333#c16 More info about the only change he has made, in comment 11: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12333#c11 The code of the new version 0.8.7 is here: http://archive.xfce.org/src/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/0.8/ My request is: could you please incorporate this new release of this cool little plugin in the upcoming updates?

Thanks and then next ...
Ignore that last one - the refs and links are wrong - this one will make more sense ... So - thanks for the response for the Beta tests. That's been released now [1] Next - we need to plough on with Daily tests as people can find the time to do those [2] and also ... We've made inroads into the Package testing [3] - that appeared to come to a halt - might well have been something to do with some tests appearing as Archived - so people couldn't actually test them. This bug has been fixed now and our packages are all clear for testing. We'd really like to get at least 2 results against the package tests we have before Beta 2 (w/b 23rd September) If while testing a package you come across a bug in the testcase itself - please report against the testcase [4] Lastly - we've enabled the upgrade testcases - so if anyone is in a postition to test those - that too will be well received, to see those you'll need to make sure you enable the Upgrade product at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/270/builds Thanks once more, Elfy [1] http://xubuntu.org/news/saucy-salamander-b1/ [2] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/270/builds [3] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2013-August/009211.html [4] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests/+filebug -- Ubuntu Forum Council Member Xubuntu QA Lead -- xubuntu-devel mailing list xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel

Thanks
I have downloaded the last beta release for Xubuntu and installed it on a Dell Inspiron 3000 laptop which is wireless networked with a Netgear WG511T pcmcia card. With the card installed during the installation it was detected and cofigured perfectly. Xubuntu has been rock solid since the instal. I have installed the tool bar battery indicator, CPU use indicator, network traffic indicator and it has improved both appearance and usefulness. Please give yourselves a big pat on the back as I have looked long and hard for a simple easy to install and configure distro for this laptop. Thanks. Iain P.S. I have been using Ubuntu since 4.10 on a Latitude laptop. It is now 5.10 and I think that is amazing too. === The Blue Cross is Britain's pet charity, providing practical support, information and advice for pet and horse owners.
