By issue 487 I was adding (occasional) articles to the doc for the next issue though only for Planet. At issue 502 I was finally stepped out of liferea using a browser to find & fill-the-doc preparing it for summary writers. I was sending the the summary emails by #512, and sometimes pasted to wiki for editing, running [upd/sec] scripts & sending email to editors. At issue 523 a new team started leading the UWN and I've returned to summary writer, though regularly post UWN to the fridge & social-media. <span class="anchor" id="line-42"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-43"></span><p class="line867"> <h3 id="Fridge.2C_Ask_Ubuntu_.5BQA-.5DTesting_.26_irc">Fridge, Ask Ubuntu [QA-]Testing & irc</h3> <span class="anchor" id="line-44"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-45"></span><p class="line862">For the Ubuntu 17.10 freeze I started posting news to the fridge (<a class="http" href="http://fridge.ubuntu.com/">http://fridge.ubuntu.com/</a>). <span class="anchor" id="line-46"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-47"></span><p class="line862">Ask Ubuntu - <a class="https" href="https://askubuntu.com/users/469152/guiverc">https://askubuntu.com/users/469152/guiverc</a> <span class="anchor" id="line-48"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-49"></span><p class="line862">QA-Testing - see <a class="http" href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers">http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers</a> (or <a class="http" href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers/top100">http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers/top100</a>) but primarily cosmic/18.10 onward & x86 (inc. respins of earlier LTS releases). <span class="anchor" id="line-50"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-51"></span><p class="line862">My testing concentration was Xubuntu & Lubuntu (equally as both still had i386 ISOs for cosmic, and into disco cycle), and soon was asked to apply for Lubuntu team membership, which I did.
