I would like to announce another Fedora Test Day [1], this time focused on
general 'System-wide crypto policy' [2] and also recent 'OpenSSH Crypto
Policy (Client)' change [3].
The idea of crypto-policies package is to enable the administrator to set a
consistent security level for crypto in whole system in one place.
Purpose of this Test Day is to get familiar with the whole mechanism, test
interoperability of particular policies with the real world systems and
ideally also with specific crypto-related applications you develop (e.g.,
some client/server app using TLS/SSL protocol).
The Test Day page [1] and the test cases are still being revised and
tweaked as I write this, but as the week goes along, all the instructions
you need to run the tests will be present there. As always, the event will
be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC. If you don’t know how to use IRC,
you can read these instructions [4], or just use WebIRC [5].

# F26 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2017-03-27
# Time: 16:00 UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net
Greetings testers! Apologies for the late notice, but we should
probably have a Blocker Review just to check the status of the existing
Alpha Blockers. Currently, we have 0 proposed and 3 accepted blockers
for Alpha. We also have 1/3 proposed for Beta/Final. It would be good
to go through the list to ensure we're good to go for Alpha release. So,
if you have time between now and then to go through the list of
blockers, please do so. You can find the full list here:
https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ .
We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the
Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not
fixed. Information on the release criteria for F26 can be found on the
wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception
process, check out these links:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process
And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting
works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check
out the SOP on the wiki:

Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!

Hi folks! I'm proposing we cancel the QA meeting tomorrow. Once again I
don't have anything significant for the agenda as we're mostly busy
with Alpha validation. We'll likely have stuff to check in on next week.
If you think there is something we need to discuss, please do reply to
this mail and we can go ahead and schedule the meeting! Thanks.
