I'm pleased to announce that a community-driven Ubuntu QA team has
formally been created [0] and is rocking already! I'll keep this
short, but the basic team description/purpose is:

The Ubuntu QA team is focused on developing tools, policies, and
practices for ensuring Ubuntu's quality as a distribution as well as
providing general advice, oversight, and leadership of QA activities
within the Ubuntu project. [1]

We are broadly looking at enhancing the awareness and contribution to
QA around Ubuntu as well as helping people interested in serious QA
work find a common, collaborative, and open environment. I've put more
details on my blog announcement [2] and the team wiki page [1] so
please have a quick look over the details. We are looking to have a
very diverse team and welcome people to contribute/join.

-Jordan Mantha (on behalf of the Ubuntu QA team)

Heh. Told them they needed this 3+ years ago. Good luck with it...

They finally realised they need QA as the serious Linux vendors has. 
Ubuntu seems to be trying the community model for QA work. Good luck with that.
