Call for Fedora 20 Test Days
by Mike Ruckman
Hey all, it's a bit late but it's time to consider putting in your
requests for Test Days for Fedora 20.
As a recap, a Test Day is an online event aimed at testing a specific
feature of an upcoming Fedora Release. By utilizing IRC for
organization and coordination and a Wiki page for instructions and
results Test Days are easy to organize. Anyone can request to host a
Test Day or request that the QA team help you out with the
organization of the test day. A test day can be ran for any feature or
area of a distribution that focused testing would be useful for. More
information on test days can be found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days .
To propose a Test Day, file a ticket on the QA Trac. A full
explanation can be found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Create . The SOP for
hosting a test day is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management . Typically
Test Days are on a Thursday, or for a series of Test Days over a
Tues-Thursday period (this is how we usually run the X Test Week, for
instance).
There are many days available starting today 2013-08-26 all the way
through 2013-11-26. Take into consideration the release schedule here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/20/Schedule . It might be a
good idea to schedule your test day before the Final Change Deadline.
And finally, if you really want to run a Test Day in a specific
time-frame 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 time-frame you'd like, and we'll
figure it out from there.
If you have any questions about Test Days or the process, please don't
hesitate to contact me or any other QA Team member in #fedora-qa on
Freenode.
Thanks and happy testing!

2013-08-12 @ 15:00 UTC - Fedora QA Meeting LIVE!
by Adam Williamson
# Fedora Quality Assurance Meeting
# Date: 2013-08-12
# Time: 15:00 UTC
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto)
# Location: #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net AND LIVE AT FLOCK!
Greetings testers!
It's meeting time again on Monday! Myself, Tim, Josef, Johann and John
are all at Flock, so someone came up with the neat idea that we should
do a QA Meeting Live: those of us who are here will get together and the
meeting will also run on IRC for everyone who isn't here.
We'll also be pulling in the ARM and cloud folks who are at Flock to
help with the agenda, so we can discuss the two meatiest topics left
ahead of Fedora 20 release: ARM as a primary arch and the Visible Cloud
change. We need to nail down exactly what changes are needed to the
criteria, test cases, and validation matrices to cover those changes,
and make sure we're completely prepared to do the necessary testing
ahead of Alpha.
This is a reminder of the upcoming QA meeting. Please add any topic
suggestions to the meeting wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20130812
The current proposed agenda is included below.
== Proposed Agenda Topics ==
1. ARM release criteria / test matrix adjustments
2. Visible Cloud release criteria / test matrix adjustments
3. Open floor
