We are delighted to announce that we are participating in the ‘Ubuntu Testing Week’ for the 22.04 release cycle, from December 23rd to December 29th with other Ubuntu flavo(u)rs and remixes. The testing week ISO has been uploaded to the server provided to us by DarkPenguin. The testing session will happen for 7 days starting from today, but you are welcome to continue testing even after the conclusion of the Ubuntu Testing Week on December 29th. Please use the #UbuntuTestingWeek hashtag on social media to spread the word about the event and to encourage others to participate as well. You can download the 22.04 ISO from https://ubuntuunity.org/page/downloads/.

You can create a testing VM in Boxes (free/libre), VirtualBox (free/libre) or VMware Player (proprietary). You might need additional hardware, since a few packages cannot be tested in a virtual machine. If you find a bug, run: ubuntu-bug <PKGNAME>. You can also chat live with us on Telegram at https://t.me/ubuntuunitydiscuss.

We also encourage you to test the other Ubuntu flavo(u)rs and remixes, as we are all one big family. Please join the tester community live in the Ubuntu IRC channel (#ubuntu-quality on libera) or Telegram group (Ubuntu Testers).
