Call for Test Days for Fedora 18
by Adam Williamson 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Hey, folks. It's that time again - time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 18. For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results, with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it doesn't have to be code, for instance we often run Test Days for l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days . Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that the QA group helps you out with organization, or any combination of the two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in QA trac - full details are at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Create . For instructions on hosting a Test Day, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management . You can see the schedule at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_18_test_days . There are many slots open right now, with the earliest on 2012-08-09 and the latest 2012-11-01. Consider the development schedule, though, in deciding when you want to run your Test Day - for some topics you may want to avoid the time before the Alpha release or the time after the feature freeze or the Final freeze. We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a Test Day in a specific timeframe due to the development schedule, but the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or timeframe you'd like, and we'll figure it out from there. If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't hesitate to contact me or any other member of the QA team on test@ or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

by Jaroslav Reznik 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hi, FESCo on 2012-11-28 meeting agreed to initially target an end-of-May release with an end-of-February branch date, but may adjust outwards depending on submitted features [1]. The Feature Submission Deadline is now set to 2013-01-29 and the F19 submission period window is open [2]. Schedule will be made at or shortly after the Feature Submission Deadline based on the review of submitted features and will be announced per usual means [3]. To make the planning easier, please make sure to submit feature proposals with well defined scope. FESCo also agreed on additional Wednesday and Thursday release days but Tuesday is still the preferred target release day [4] - applies to Fedora 18 either.

Announcing the release of Fedora 18 Beta!!!
by Jaroslav Reznik 29 Nov '12

29 Nov '12

The Fedora 18 "Spherical Cow" Beta release is rolling! This release offers a preview of some of the best free and open source technology currently under development. We are delighted to announce the availability of the beta release of Fedora 18. Want to get a taste of the future? Download it now: http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease *** What is the Beta Release? *** The Beta release is the last important milestone of Fedora 18. Only critical bug fixes will be pushed as updates leading to the general release of Fedora 18 in the beginning of the next year. We invite you to join us in making Fedora 18 a solid release by downloading, testing, and providing your valuable feedback. Of course, this is a beta release, meaning that some problems may still be lurking. A list of the problems we already know about is found at the Common F18 bugs page, seen here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F18_bugs There is a new upgrade system for Fedora 18 making its first appearance in Fedora 18 Beta. Upgrading via the system installer or the preupgrade tool is no longer possible. To upgrade to Fedora 18 from Fedora 17, you should use the new "Fedup" tool. Instructions and information on the new tool are here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp. The tool is still under active development, please take a look at the FedUp FAQ (in the wiki page) in case of any issues with the upgrade process, and back up your system before trying the upgrade. *** Features *** This release of Fedora includes a variety of features both over and under the hood that show off the power and flexibility of the advancing state of free software. Here are just a few of the new features: = For users everywhere = * Fedora 18 offers a brand-new version of the Gnome desktop, version 3.6, straight from the upstream development process. Updates have also been made to the KDE Plasma Workspaces, XFCE and Sugar]desktop environments; additionally, the MATE desktop is available for the first time in Fedora. * Fedora's new installer user interface enhances the anaconda installer with improvements in ease of use and installation. = For developers = * This release includes several language updates, including the move to Perl 5.16, updating the Python 3 stack from 3.2 to 3.3, Rails 3.2 and updated D and Haskell programming environments. = For system administrators = * Fedora 18 includes the final release of Samba 4, and can be used on an Active Directory domain member out of the box. An integrated, new native management software allows you to access data and server information easily. * OpenStack in Fedora 18 has been updated to Folsom, the most recent release by the OpenStack community. This Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform enables the creation and management of cloud infrastructure. * Eucalyptus 3.1, another IaaS platform, is available in Fedora for the first time, and includes the major components of Eucalyptus. * System Storage Management CLI tools simplify the user interface by providing unified abstraction and interface for multiple storage technologies, including lvm, btrfs and md raid. For more Features, please take a look on the complete list: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/18/FeatureList *** Contributing *** Great releases like Fedora 18 don't get made in a vacuum. We can't do it without you! Bug reports are especially helpful as we move from the theory to the applied physics. If you encounter any issues, please report them! Fedora is a fantastic, friendly community, and we have many ways in which you can contribute, including Documentation, Marketing, Design, QA, Development, and more. To learn how to help us, visit: http://join.fedoraproject.org/ Thank you, and we hope to see you in the Fedora Project! --- You may notice this announcement is a day late! We'd like to apologize to the community for the delayed announcement and any consequences resulting from the delay.

# F18 Beta Blocker Review meeting #9 # Date: 2012-11-21 # Time: 17:00 UTC (12:00 EST, 09:00 PST) # Location: #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net Apologies on the late notice but the next (and hopefully final) F18 beta blocker review meeting is on Wednesday 2012-11-21. Since go/no-go is tomorrow, we will need to get through all of the blocker and nth bugs today but looking at the list, that shouldn't be too much of an issue unless a long discussion erupts.
