Another testing cycle is finally upon us, and it's about time we got
some Test Days scheduled for the F22 cycle. The Anaconda team has
already requested a test day [0] and there are several other changes
coming to F22 that could use some testing love - a full list can be
found here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/22/ChangeSet
F22 also has several self-contained changes that could use some testing.
So my thought was, if there were things people would like to get tested,
but didn't think it warranted an entire day - then we could group these
together and run a test day to poke at several different things at the
same time. Thoughts on this?
For those of you not familiar with test days, a test day is an
online event aimed at testing a specific feature of an upcoming Fedora
Release. By utilizing IRC for organization/coordination and a Wiki
page for instructions and results, test days are easy to organize.
Anyone can request to host a test day or request that the QA team help
you out with the organization of the test day. A test day can be ran
for any feature or area of a distribution that focused testing would be
useful for. More information on test days can be found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days .
To propose a test day, file a ticket on the QA Trac. A full
explanation can be found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Create . The SOP for
hosting a test day is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management .
Traditionally test days have been held on Thursdays, but if you'd prefer
to have it on another day that's fine too. We're pretty flexible, but
having plenty of lead time helps to get the word out. Just put in your
ticket the date or time-frame you'd like, and we'll figure it out from
there.
If you have any questions about test days or the process, please don't
hesitate to contact me or any other QA Team member in #fedora-qa on
Freenode or respond on the test list.
Thanks and happy testing!

# F22 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2015-02-02
# Time: 1700 UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net
It's that time of week again, time for some Blocker Review! Currently we
have 1 Alpha and 1 Beta blocker proposed - so it should be a short
meeting. We'll be sticking with the new trend of going through all the
milestones during this meeting.
If you want to take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers, the
full list can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/
Make sure to click through the milestones to see how many we have before
the meeting!
We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the
Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not
fixed. Information on the release criteria for F22 can be found on the
wiki [0].

works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out
