We have upped it to automatically inviting 10 people a day at midnight UTC. Beyond that we make additional invite batches based on activity of current testers, number of bugs etc etc

UTC time? Is that the same as GMT?

Me neither. If it's 10 per day, we had a 1/70 chance (according to my estimates) of being selected. Not great odds. But they should improve

1/69 chance tomorrow

I wonder if they are doing it this way instead of, or as well as, letting 100 on per week...?

Anyone know?

[Martyn Dale]

We will still let in additionals, but maybe not as large as 100 as there are already 70 per week being let in this way.

I doubt there will be any batches going on this weekend, with it being July 4th weekend here in the US only 2 of us will be in the office on Monday. It isnt the best time to have new testers come in considering any bugs they do find wont be fixable until then

Fair enough. Thanks for the info Martyn!

I wasn't expecting to see anyone picked on 4th of July as I wouldn't wanna do anything :b (as in deal with new testers) (If Patrick isn't there I say you throw a party).

[Martyn Dale]

Haha no parties. National holidays are my opportunities to get things done. As we are officially closed (the office at least) I can get done what I need to get done rather than worrying about things I normally need to.

Nice opportunity for some backend optimizations ^_^

Do you know if these features run faster than say, a train?
