Oops, it happens on x86_64, i386 works fine under my testing.

Greetings testers,
Alpha RC#3 has been built and posted for testing. Good news is that the
''input devices don't work'' issue seems to be solved. It works for me
now! Please also note that the GO/No-Go meeting for fedora Alpha will be
held based on the test results of this RC3 build. Therefore, your
testing will be very helpful for Fedora QA, release engineering to
determine if it meets the release criteria[1].

Greetings Everyone,
YumLangpackPlugin Test day is coming up:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-02-25_YumLangpackPlugin
This event will focus on a yum plugin that allows langpacks to be
automatically installed for your native language when base packages with
langpacks get installed. So testing it with various languages is highly
welcomed to this test day.
In the past, we had to install the langpack of some packages such as kde
openoffice manually, see bug433512[1]. But now such langpack can be
installed automatically if yum-langpacks installed in advance. Good news
is that these cases steps can be easily followed and even execute on a
F12 system. If you are trying to install a F13 system in your local
language, you are already attending this test day! Check the above link
for detailed results.
Please come to this event and learn this useful plugin. I'm sure you'll
feel fun from it!o(* ̄▽ ̄*)o
Thanks,
He Rui

When: Friday, 2010-02-19 @ 16:00 UTC (11 AM EST)
Where: #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net
It's that time again: blocker bug review meeting time! Tomorrow is the
third blocker bug review meeting for Fedora 13 Alpha.
Here are the current bugs listed as blocking the Alpha release. We'll be
discussing all of these:
562209 NEW anaconda Booting boot.iso, installer unable to read network package metadata
566460 NEW kernel kernel 2.6.33 strips coredump when using pipe in core_pattern
565592 MODIFIED anaconda NameError: global name 'shlex' is not defined
565599 MODIFIED anaconda NameError: global name 'FIRSTBOOT_DEFAULT' is not defined
565611 MODIFIED anaconda AttributeError: Users instance has no attribute 'cryptPassword'
565306 MODIFIED anaconda AttributeError: Users instance has no attribute 'createLuserConf'
563212 MODIFIED xorg-x11-drv-intel xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.10.0-3.fc13.x86_64 kills display: only black screen, no server interactions....
565639 MODIFIED anaconda Rescue mode fails - AttributeError: can't set attribute
565840 MODIFIED anaconda liveinst fails - OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/updates'
565873 MODIFIED anaconda cmdline kickstart install stops at -- In interactive step cleardiskssel, can't continue
565497 MODIFIED totem-pl-parser totem-pl-parser-2.29.1-1.fc13.i686 requires libgmime-2.4.so.2
557386 MODIFIED kernel changes in do_coredump breaks ABRT
560477 MODIFIED anaconda RescueInterface instance has no attribute 'resetInitializeDiskQuestion'
Have an issue you'd like to propose as an F13 release blocker? Please
consider the following criteria when escalating an issue:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Alpha_Release_Criteria
The aim for the Release Criteria for F13 is for our criteria to match up
with our 'gut feelings', so if you see an issue that you think should be
a blocker but doesn't meet the criteria, please add it as a blocker and
mention at the meeting that the criteria don't cover it. Thanks!
To promote a bug for consideration as a blocker, simply mark it as
blocking the bug 'F13Alpha'. You can also already mark bugs as blocking
the Beta or Final release, if appropriate, by using 'F13Beta' and
'F13Blocker' respectively.
Hope to see everyone at the meeting tomorrow!
For the record, the command used to generate the list of bugs is:
bugzilla query --blocked=538273 --bug_status=NEW,ASSIGNED,NEEDINFO,ON_DEV,MODIFIED,POST,ON_QA,FAILS_QA,PASSES_QA,REOPENED,VERIFIED,RELEASE_PENDING --outputformat="%{bug_id} %{bug_status} %{component} %{summary}"

This is to announce that the privilege escalation policy which has been
under discussion and revision in the QA and development groups, and in
FESCo, for the last few weeks has been approved at today's FESCo
meeting[1].
The policy can be found here for now:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Privilege_escalation_policy
Please take it into account in future packaging work.
I believe the policy should be referenced in the packaging guidelines:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines
and should be renamed to:
Packaging:Privilege_escalation_policy
However, I do not have the privileges to perform either of these
actions. If someone with the appropriate privileges could do these for
me, it would be appreciated.

It's Test Day time again!
This Thursday, 2010-02-18, will be Color Management Test Day[1]. There's
some exciting new color management features[2] in Fedora 13. That is to
say, there are color management features in Fedora 13! We've never had
any real color management in Fedora before, so this is great news for
photographers and designers in particular - but everybody, really.
The good news is testing for this Test Day is very easy - anyone with a
monitor can do most of the testing. A scanner, printer, webcam or
colorimeter let you do some other tests. You don't need a Rawhide
installation to do the testing, just a nightly live image[3] will do
fine, and the testing process is fully documented and won't take more
than a few minutes. So come out and help us test! Even if you don't use
Fedora, you can test very easily with a live image, and this is one of
those features that's popping up in Fedora first but will soon appear in
all distributions (as it'll be part of GNOME itself), so you'll be
helping your own distribution by testing.
The Test Day will run all day in Freenode IRC #fedora-test-day.
