Greetings,
A big test day is coming up tomorrow:
Anaconda/Features/StorageFiltering
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/StorageFiltering> test
day.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-10-01_Anaconda/Features/Storag…
This is a broad topic that can improve the user's experience with regard
to the storage
configuration portion of system installation. The event would aim at
validating f11 storage bugs[1]
and confirming a baseline of functionality from F-12 anaconda storage.
So users with varies
kinds of storage devices like SAS, SCSI, PATA, ISCSI etc are highly
welcomed to this test day.
Live image is already available on the test day website in case you
don't have a latest rawhide
version. So don't hesitate to join it and leave your valuable results
there. :-)
See you on this HAPPY test day!

Tomorrow, 2009-09-24, will be Xfce Test Day[1]. The Xfce spin of Fedora
is popular among Xfce enthusiasts, and the maintainer Kevin Fenzi is
always keen to have it as polished as possible for each Fedora release,
so please come out to Freenode IRC #fedora-test-day and help us make
sure Xfce is in good shape for Fedora 12. There will be a live image
available for testing, and testing is pretty straightforward: all we
need you to do is use Xfce just as you usually would, and check to make
sure everything’s working properly. We’re also interested in seeing if
the official Xfce browser, Midori[2], is good enough to be the default
browser on the Xfce live spin. Thanks to all who come along to help
test!

Hi all,
We have another Fedora Test Day for virtualization coming up this
Thursday, September 17.
We're making good progress fleshing out a wiki with test cases here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-09-17_Virtualization
Please do come along and help out with the testing, 'cause we've got
plenty to test! :-)
If you think you can make it on Thursday, pick a test area (or areas)
and put your name where it says "add your name here".
We're going make a LiveCD image available, so "I don't have a rawhide
machine" is no excuse this time. The idea with the LiveCD is that you'll
just mount local or NFS storage for guest images, and so long as you
have enough RAM you should be able to test most things.
See you Thursday on #fedora-test-day!
Thanks,
Mark.

Join us Friday for the second blocker bug review of the F-12-Beta cycle.
Review will focus on unresolved bugs listed on the F12Beta list
Have an issue you'd like to propose for F12Beta? Please consider the
following criteria when escalating an issue:
* Can this issue be fixed with a future rawhide update or is it
part of the media kit?
* Is this defect a high (or greater) severity [1] with no, or an
unreasonable, workaround?
* Does the presence of this bug dramatically reduce test coverage?
If in doubt add it to the blocker or ask for help.
The current list of Fedora 12 Beta blocker bugs follows:

So after the excitement of last week's X.org Test Week, we have another
big ticket Test Day coming up on Wednesday: sound Test Day.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-09-16_Audio
We will be doing some broad-based tests to try and make sure that
typical audio use works properly on as wide as possible a range of
hardware in Fedora 12. And yes, the Test Day includes PulseAudio. Here's
your chance to test out whether the current Fedora 12 code and
PulseAudio work properly with your sound card, and complain -
appropriately, of course! - if they don't. As usual, we will be
providing live images for testing, so you'll be able to test without
installing anything permanently or affecting your regular Fedora (or
other operating system!) at all. Testing will be very easy, just a case
of booting the live image and testing a few simple sound-related
operations. Just testing whether sound works at all out of the box will
be very helpful. So please come along on Wednesday and help us test!
Even if you can't make it on Wednesday, it will be very useful if you
can run the tests and provide your feedback in the results table, either
before or after the Test Day happens. The Test Day itself will be taking
place all day in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC.
Please note that the wiki page isn't finalized yet; it's obviously
missing the live images (which I haven't yet generated) and the test
cases. These should appear tomorrow, but I wanted to get the word out
about the event as soon as possible.
I'd like to say a big thanks to Lennart for being very positive about
the idea of doing a Test Day, and getting involved with the
organization. He'll be present on IRC for the Test Day, too (his IRC
nickname is 'mezcalero'). Please don't use this as a venue for broad,
unhelpful complaints or flames about PulseAudio: we're genuinely
interested in fixing any specific issues that arise in PA as a result of
the Test Day, but flamewars about its intrinsic value will only clutter
up the channel, annoy everyone involved, and waste time. Thanks!

Yes, it is now that legendary time, well loved by the hearts of men for
millennia(*): Graphics Test Week!
Tomorrow - 2009-09-09 - is ATI/AMD Radeon graphics card Test Day (1).
Thursday - 2009-09-10 - is NVIDIA graphics card Test Day (2). And Friday
- 2009-09-11 - is Intel graphics card Test Day (3). I am currently
rolling up a pair of live CD images that will likely be used for all
three days; they should be uploaded soon. Please, please grab the live
CDs, do the testing, and come out to the Test Day(s) for the graphics
hardware you own! As always, graphics are a critical piece of Fedora and
we want to make sure Fedora 12 works on as wide a range of graphics
hardware as possible.
The testing's very easy to do and it shouldn't take more than an hour of
your time to boot the live CD and run the tests. There's no need to
install anything to hard disk. You don't even need to be a Fedora user
to take part, and what's in Fedora's drivers today will be in everyone
else's tomorrow, so helping us test this benefits all distributions down
the road.
The Test Day gatherings themselves are held in IRC, in channel
#fedora-test-day on the Freenode network. Please do join in if you can -
we can help advise you with any questions you have, and if you run into
bugs, the developers can investigate them with you right away. If you
can't make it out for the actual day, though, you can still do the
testing, and your results are still useful! Just download the live
image, do the tests, and fill in the results table as the page
instructs. Many thanks to everyone who's able to make it out and do the
testing. Remember - tomorrow ATI; Thursday NVIDIA; Friday Intel.
* - well, okay. Not really millennia. More like...months.
