This week is Graphics Test Week
by Adam Williamson
Hi, Fedorans. Please be informed that this week is Fedora Graphics Test
Week. Tuesday 2011-02-22 is Nouveau Test Day [1], Wednesday 2011-02-23
is Radeon Test Day [2] and Thursday 2011-02-24 is Intel (graphics) Test
Day [3].
Testing is very easy and can be done entirely with a live image, there's
no need to install F15 or Rawhide; full instructions are available on
the Wiki pages. QA folks and graphics developers will be in
#fedora-test-day during the events. These test days are super-important
this release because we'll be checking out the support for GNOME Shell,
one of the major features of F15; we really need to get a good idea of
the state of hardware support for the Shell, so PLEASE do come out and
help test if you have any spare time this week! Also please help spread
the word anywhere you can - your local enthusiast community, any news
websites you know, particularly ones in non-English languages (as I'm
not great at covering those).
There's a longer write-up on my blog [4]. Please get in touch with me
directly or the test mailing list if you have any questions or
suggestions. Thanks!

Xfce Test Day tomorrow!
by Adam Williamson
Remember, everyone tomorrow - 2011-02-17 - is Xfce Test Day! F15 will
have Xfce 4.8 and this version is in already, so we need lots of testing
to make sure it's all working fine. All the test info is on the Wiki
page - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-17_Xfce - and
we'll be in #fedora-test-day to help out and discuss results. Do come
along if you have some spare time.

2011-02-15 - FreeIPA v2 Test Day
by James Laska
Greetings folks,
I'm passing along an announcement from the freeipa-users mailing list
[1] regarding the first of two Test Days next week. On Tuesday, we'll
be hosting a test day focused on FreeIPA v2.
The FreeIPA project implements an identity server. IPA stands for
Identity, Policy and Audit (not India Pale Ale). The first version of
IPA was introduced three years ago and was focused on the user identity
and authentication. This version is a significant revision of the IPA
server adding multiple new features and capabilities.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-15_FreeIPAv2
The test day wiki is still coming online, we expect it to be finalized
on Monday. For more information on the upcoming Fedora 15 feature,
checkout the feature page [2].
