At last I also hear from people around me that LO tests way to little because of all the bugs that have pleaged the 3.4-series. When we shout this around people can see we do test and are doing our best to get bugs out of the software.
All in all I would say it is needed to organise these events.. Greetings, Rob Snelders On di 22 nov 2011 20:03:33 CET, Petr Mladek wrote:

[...]The idea here is the following: When a beta is announced, many people jump in to test. Now it would be great if we could attract (part of) that group to start working with the developer builds asap after feature freeze! (Arrows #1 on slide 23) Would that make sense?So, while at our 4th Dutch LibreOffice (Hackers) event, we discussed this. Since in The Netherlands we have both a busy Sinterklaas fest and a long Christmas time, and we are already in the end of November, there is little change in organising a successful test-event in December, Anyway not for us. A test-event, was one of the ideas from the presentation (1), slide #24 So we think about January 21, convenient for all involved here. But looking at the release plan, that is just after the RC1 for 3.5.0. Which is sad, because the goal is to get more people test early, thus after the first/second build after feature freeze... - Would it be an idea to work parallel in some countries (France, Germany)...? - January 21 is a possibility.. - But another moment earlier too, so that some of us (Nl/Flanders) could join virtual?Heh, the first beta should be available on December 9. I hope that we could do lots testing already in December. We should not need an exact date to do some testing. We are improving the Limus server [1] and fill reasonable test cases there. We will create test run when the beta1 is available. Anyone could jump in and process few tests when time permits. The server will clearly show what was tested, what still needs testing. Testers could work completely independently. Organized events are fine but it can be done other way. We do not need to depend on them. IMPORTANT: We are looking for people creating test cases[2].
