Proposal to CANCEL: 2015-08-10 Fedora QA Meeting
by Adam Williamson 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

Hi folks! I'm proposing we cancel Monday's QA meeting. Last week was pretty much all Alpha testing, and there's not much to do for Alpha besides writing the Common Bugs page, and possibly updating documentation relating to fedup (see https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1463 ). Let's plan to have a post -Flock meeting on the 17th. If anyone can think of something urgent to discuss, please reply to this mail and we can get together at the usual time (15:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

2015-08-10 @ 1600 UTC ** PROPOSAL TO CANCEL Fedora 23 Blocker Review
by Mike Ruckman 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

With the recent decision to ship Alpha, Flock being next week and people traveling, I propose that we cancel the next Blocker Review meeting. Currently there are 2/4 proposals for Beta/Final - so if someone wants to run the meeting, go for it. Otherwise, enjoy your blocker review free time :) -- // Mike -- Fedora QA freenode: roshi http://roshi.fedorapeople.org

Fedora 23 Alpha Go/No-Go Meeting, Thursday, August 06 @ 17:00 UTC
by Jan Kurik 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-2 for this important meeting, wherein we shall determine the readiness of the Fedora 23 Alpha. Thursday, August 06, 2015 17:00 UTC (1 PM EDT, 10 AM PDT, 19:00 CEST) "Before each public release Development, QA and Release Engineering meet to determine if the release criteria are met for a particular release. This meeting is called the Go/No-Go Meeting." "Verifying that the Release criteria are met is the responsibility of the QA Team." Release Candidate (RC) availability and good QA coverage are prerequisites for the Go/No-Go meeting. We don't have RC yet as the list of accepted blockers is still pretty long. If you have any bug on the list, please help us with Alpha release. If we won't be ready by Thursday, we will use this meeting to review blockers and decide what to do. For more details about this meeting see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Go_No_Go_Meeting In the meantime, keep an eye on the Fedora 23 Alpha Blocker list: http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/23/alpha/buglist Regards, Jan [FedoCal] https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/meeting/2629/ -- Jan Kuřík

Fedora 23 Alpha Release Candidate 2 (RC2) Available Now!
by Adam Williamson 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

Somewhat later than scheduled [1], Fedora 23 Alpha Release Candidate 2 (RC2) is now available for testing. Please help us complete as much of the validation testing as we can! Unfortunately there looks to already be a known blocker - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1250874 - but it would still be valuable to cover all Alpha tests. No-one needs to kill themselves working on it, though! Content information, including changes, can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6213#comment:8 . Please see the following pages for download links and testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the fastest download, but download- ib01.fedoraproject.org is available as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL. Installation: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test Base: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test Workstation and Desktop: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test Server: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test Cloud: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test Summary: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Summary All Alpha priority test cases for each of these test pages [2] must pass in order to meet the Alpha Release Criteria [3]. We are also trying to run the Beta and Final tests at this time, to try and identify later release blocker bugs as early as possible. Help is available on #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net [4], or on the test list [5].

Fedora 23 Release Notes are Open!
by Pete Travis 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

Hello Fedora, The Fedora 22 release cycle is in full swing, and beats have been opened for the F22 Releasae Notes. Over the coming weeks, the release notes for the next version of Fedora will be assembled by Docs team writers, packageers, developers, and community members of all forms. Yeah, that's a pretty broad group. You can help - not a figurative, abstract "you", but you, reader, can personally contribute to this fine periodical publication. Not a technical writer? That's OK! The most difficult part is the initial prep and research, and that's where we can use you the most. Here are some examples of ways you could contribute: - You maintain a package, and are able to update it to the next major version for F23. The new version has some long-awaited features added that users would enjoy. To signal the Docs team to write a bit about these changes, you open the release monitoring bugzilla ticket and check the "fedora_requires_release_note" flag. We can take it from there, but please be available for follow up questions! - You subscribe to a mailing list (one? who is this guy?) and a discussion reveals some notable change in a component of Fedora. While mailing lists are discoverable, the archives aren't one's first stop, so you forward the thread to a dedicated mailing list, "relnotes-content(a)lists.fedoraproject.org". Like all Fedora's lists, you must subscribe to send - but don't worry, we'll watch the approval queue. - As a contributor to Fedora QA, you are were one of the earliest adopters of Fedora 23 as a daily driver. While testing packages and generally going about your business, you find that something has changed; the syntax or location of a config file, perhaps, or maybe the user experience of your favorite media player. Drop a note into the wiki at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Documentation_beats and some writers will come along to write the prose and share it with the world. - You're an active member of a SIG. There are some exciting changes and additions to the packages supported by your SIG. It could be a new skychart from Astronomy, or a new mapping client from GIS, or new applications and features on the XFCE spin. You drop in to #fedora-docs on Freenode to hash it out with the Docs team (there's almost always someone there, but you might have to wait a bit for the first reply.) I'm getting long-winded now, but there's one point I want to stress. Note that none of these options said anything like "Write comprehensive, gramatically correct documentation in American English that is ready for publication." If you want to participate to that degree, great! If not, don't be dissuaded. It's a huge help to have leads and requests thrown into the funnel, there are writers waiting to take it the rest of the way. -- -- Pete Travis - Fedora Docs Project Leader - 'randomuser' on freenode - immanetize(a)fedoraproject.org

Fedora 23 Alpha Release Candidate 1 (RC1) (mostly) Available Now!
by Adam Williamson 05 Aug '15

05 Aug '15

[sorry this is late, I sent it from the wrong email address :< RC2 will be landing in ~8 hours] Somewhat later than scheduled [1], Fedora 23 Alpha Release Candidate 1 (RC1) is now available for testing. Please help us complete as much of the validation testing as we can! We already know we'll need an RC2, but so far the expected change is minor (likely just dropping some packages from Server DVD). We definitely need to fill out all the Alpha tests with RC1 to find any other lurking blockers, so please help! The Cloud base i386 image is hitting a mysterious failure during compose. releng will work on it tomorrow, but if we can't fix it there's a possibility it'll simply be dropped. All other significant images should be available. Content information, including changes, can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6213#comment:6 . Please see the following pages for download links and testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the fastest download, but download- ib01.fedoraproject.org is available as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.
