How to join
- Get the latest beta
- 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:
- Add it to BugZilla , or
- discuss it on irc
- new with IRC chat? read this for help, and see Wikipedia. We use the #libreoffice IRC channel. or
- via QA mailing list
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.
