Hi Petr,

Before Miro provides more details, I'd like to run the tests inside a docker
and manage multiple VM instances by the tests themselves to evaluate
the benefits of Testing Farm. Tomas said you are running periodic
onboarding sessions. When will you launch the next session? Can you share
some materials with me since docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/ci seems to be
outdated?
