1. It looks like the Fedora 19 Alpha release is tomorrow! I'm going to be testing it as soon as I can get my cat paws on it. 2. It looks like Fedora Jam needs to get on the Spins wiki. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/19/Spins 3. Are the nightlies still being made? Is there some paperwork we need to do before various deadlines to get Fedora Jam 19 to be a real thing?

I've sent something to the Spins list. As far as I'm aware we are approved.
The nightlies do not seem to be terribly regular - latest here from the 19th of April

I've got two things scheduled for tomorrow:
1. Test my computational journalism toolkit in a Fedora 19 Alpha VM 2. Install Fedora 19 Alpha on my GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 workstation and see if a nasty kernel-nouveau bug is fixed for Graphics Test Week.
After that, I'll move on to the Fedora Jam nightly. I've got enough disk space on the NVidia box to run three, even four Linux distros. Right now it has F18, Ubuntu 12.10 and Mint 14, but the Ubuntu and Mint partitions haven't been used in weeks and I'm going to blow them away now that Fedora Alphas are around the corner.

So how did it go? I hard to buy 2 AMD (Radeon) cards because nouveau wont boot on three of may machines. Its saddening because it worked in F15

No response yet. Will hassle them now. Apologies to all - I've been travelling and have pretty much missed the first half of this release cycle. I'll send something more formal to the list soon

It should work - can't see any reason why it wouldn't here ( a couple of machines running nvidia cards). AMD support is really not that good. Persevere - find me on email or #fedora-audio and we can work through it

So far Nouveau / Fedora 19 Alpha has been trouble-free. I haven't been able to reproduce the crash, and the only issues I've had at all are version/dependency conflicts in the repositories trying to install KDE, MATE and Cinnamon on top of a default GNOME 3 install.

Did you use the nightly or the default Alpha release?
Default Alpha, GNOME desktop. The symptom was that Firefox would generate diagonal noise lines on the screen and lock up the machine, forcing a power cycle. I'm assuming this was because Firefox was the first thing that hit the 3D stuff in the XOrg nouveau driver or the kernel, whichever was the broken one. ;-)
I'm done testing the F19 alpha for now - I found everything that's broken in the computational journalism workbench. So I'll be testing the Fedora Jam nightly next, probably tonight or tomorrow.
