[QA] Workshop today: pre-briefing

[Quim Gil]

Hi, in about two hours we will start the

Browser Testing Automation workshop with Cucumber
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Meetings/2013-07-18

There are 11 people that have signed up. Other participants can still 
join us.

Two important details:

1. You are expected to have your environment setup BEFORE the workshop. 
If you haven't done it you still have time, but it does take some time 
(and some luck, depending on your system). [*]

2. In addition to the Etherpad for typing code and chatting, we will use 
a Google Hangout for voice / screensharing. If you haven't tried Hangout 
yet, do it before the workshop. I will be logged to the hangout 10 
minutes before the workshop, happy to invite and help getting in everybody.

In case of problems you can find me (qgil) on IRC at #wikimedia-dev.

See you later!



[*] I just completed the Vagrant route alone on my laptop, running 
Ubuntu. It was the first time I did anything with VirtualBox and 
Vagrant. It involved large downloads and some patience addressing error 
messages. But the instructions were good enough and now I'm ready for 
the workshop. Then I had problems registering an account at 
http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ but after complaining on IRC an 
admin made (something) and then I could create the account just as 
usual. No big deal, but the process took a lot more time than expected.
