The Fedora 45 schedule [1] is winding up and it's time we started thinking about what we'd want to have test days for. There are several changes accepted already for F45 and the window for proposals is still open so more may come. You can find the list of accepted Changes here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/45/ChangeSet
Please take some time and look through the list and see if there's anything you'd be interested in testing or if there's something you think should get some testing that isn't in the ChangeSet!
For those of you not familiar with them; test days are online events aimed at testing a specific feature of an upcoming Fedora release. We organise the event in a ticket, provide a Wiki page with instructions and have a page on the testdays webapp [2] for reporting results. During the event, folks can compare notes and ask for help in the Matrix chat room [3]. Anyone can request to host test days or request that the QA team help you out with organising. Test days can be run for any feature or area of a distribution that focused testing would be useful for. We use the name "test days" as it's been around for a while, but many events run for more than a single day, now, to allow more time for folks to test. More information on test days can be found in the wiki [4].
To propose a test day, file a ticket on Fedora Forge (for now): https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/tickets/issues/new
You can look at existing issues with the test day tag [5] to get an idea how the ticket can look; please include details on what topic you want to cover and an idea of what dates you would like to hold it. You can also look at the SOP for hosting a test day [6].
If you have any questions about test days or the process, please don't hesitate to contact the Quality team on Matrix [3] or respond on the test list.
Thanks and happy testing!
