Fedora 16 branch today
by Adam Williamson
Just a heads-up to let everyone know that Fedora 16 is now branched from
Rawhide. This means that we're now into the phase where pre-Beta
requirements for updates apply (see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy): updates-testing is in
effect for F16, so if you're running F16, remember to start firing up
Bodhi and fedora-easy-karma and submitting karma from now on! Thanks,
everyone.

Call for Test Days for Fedora 16
by Adam Williamson
Hi, folks. The Test Day cycle for Fedora 16 will open shortly, and we're
putting out the call for anyone who has an idea for a Test Day. There
are many open slots on the schedule -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_16_test_days - and if they all
fill up or you would like to run a set of Test Days on related topics,
we can organize events outside of the scheduled Thursday windows too.
It's often a good idea to have a Test Day for a major change or new
feature you're introducing to the distribution, but we can run a Test
Day on just about any topic. There is a full guide to organizing Test
Days available -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management - and the QA
team is happy both to help you run a Test Day and to butt out and let
you run it yourself, whichever you prefer! If you're interested in
running a Test Day, please contact QA via the test mailing list, file a
ticket in QA trac - https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa - and/or pencil
in your event on the schedule, create a Wiki page based on the template
(see the SOP for details), and get down to work. Thanks!

2011-07-15 @ 17:00 UTC - F16 Alpha blocker bug review #1
by James Laska
# F16 Alpha Blocker Review meeting #1
# Date: 2011-07-15
# Time: 17:00 UTC [1] (13:00 EDT, 10:00 PDT, 10:00 MST)
# Location: #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net
Hard to believe, but the "vacation" is over. Fedora 16 Alpha test
compose is a few weeks away (Jul 26) and the Alpha is about a month away
(Aug 10 for go/no_go meeting).
In an effort to reduce last minute bug scramble, the blocker review
meetings will be starting up again [2]. Each Friday, between now and
the Alpha release, a blocker review will take place in
#fedora-bugzappers.
Mark your calendars ... the first Alpha blocker review meeting starts at
17:00 UTC in #fedora-bugzappers. We'll review proposed and accepted F16
Alpha blocker bugs. An updated list of blocker bugs is available at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers (also attached
to this mail). We'll be reviewing the bugs to determine ...
1. whether they meet the Alpha release criteria [3] and should stay
on the list
2. are getting the attention they need
For guidance on Blocker and Nice-to-have (NTH) bugs, refer to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process and
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_nth_bug_process
== Suggested Meeting Preparation ==
Maintainers ...
* If your bug is *not* MODIFIED ... this issue is at risk of
slipping the F16 Alpha release date
* If your bug is in MODIFIED ... please make sure a build with the
fix exists, and is available as a bodhi update.
Testers ...
* If you REPORT a bug ... please be responsive to any requests for
additional information.
* If a bug is in ON_QA ... please take a moment to apply the
update, and post karma feedback (doesn't apply to rawhide at the
moment)
