please respond to this email and we can add them to the list!

Thanks,

Issues with Google Chrome, PyCharm, Steam and other third-party repos in Fedora 29 prereleases
by Stephen Gallagher
It was discovered[1] a short while ago that, due to a packaging
mistake in the fedora-workstation-repos package, upgrades from Fedora
28->Fedora 29 would replace the /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files provided
from that package with their default configuration.
What this meant in practice is that anyone who was using those
repositories in Fedora 28 would find them silently disabled in Fedora
29. In particular, this would mean that they might not notice that
they were not receiving updates, particularly (in the case of Chrome)
security updates.
This has been fixed for F29 Final, but if you have upgraded from
F28->F29 prior to today (such as at the Beta release), you should
check and verify that your expected repos are correctly enabled.
You can verify which repositories on your system are enabled or
disabled by running the command:
`dnf repolist --all`
If you discover that any of your expected repos have been disabled,
they can be re-enabled with:
`dnf config-manager --set-enabled <repo_name>`

Proposal to CANCEL: 2018-10-22 @ 15:00 UTC - Fedora QA Meeting
by Geoffrey Marr
Hey everyone,
Having missed our first ship date, but still on track to potentially meet
our second, I am proposing we cancel the QA meeting tomorrow and simply
take the time to get ready for the Blocker Review meeting an hour later at
16:00UTC.
If anyone has any important information that must be shared at the meeting,
please respond to this email and we can run the meeting at the normal time.
Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you at the Blocker Review Meeting
tomorrow!

Fedora 29 Kernel 4.19 Test Day 2018-10-25
by Sumantro Mukherjee
Hey All,
Thursday, 2018-10-25 will be Kernel 4.19 Test Day[1] Test Day!
As Fedora 29 will be releasing with 4.19, we want to test it across all
arcs and different
variants of F27, F28 and F29.
So this is an important Test Day! Test Day will focus on testing the new
kernel , making sure we catch all bugs and test for regressions well ahead
of time.
As always, the event will be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC.
