Re: [Call to Arms] Fedora 19 Test Days starts this week
by Bryan Sutherland
Martin,
I am cc'ing this to the FWN and Website list as I think this is a great
opportunity to get more community testing and input in.
There is some discussion about a few more FWN releases as we get ready
to open up fedoramagazine.org. The testing requests should be fine to go
out in pretty quick order.
Cheers
Bryan

You are invited to try how new KDE 4.10 [2] stuff not only using Fedora 19 Live test images, but also from updates-testing repository on your current Fedora stable installation, including both Fedora 18 and Fedora 17 releases. For first time, you can test new version of whole KDE platform before it rolls up and in as an stable update for your Fedora!

But Test Day provides an opportunity to actually talk to developers before KDE 4.10 reaches stable updates and interactively report, explore, debug and fix your issues (or at least find workarounds for the time being). Together we can make this update less painful for everyday Fedora KDE users.

Please report all bugs under appropriate component preferably at upstream bugzilla https://bugs.kde.org/ regarding common KDE 4.10 issues or Red Hat bugzilla http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ if you have problems with Fedora distribution integration. You can also report other Fedora bugs not related to this Test Day. Feel free to ask on IRC, if you don't know against which component or on what bugzilla you should fill the report.

Next FWN issue?
by Ankur Sinha
Hi guys,
I noticed we haven't had a FWN issue for quite a while. If some of us
are active, we could maybe try and get out an issue in the next two
weeks (if 1 is too small a time period?). There seems to be quite a lot
of discussion going on about some good topics, I just thought it'd be
worth some news ;)
PS: I haven't contributed to the FWN releases till date. I seem to have
joined quite a bit after the last FWN issue.
