Proposal to CANCEL: 2020-09-28 Fedora QA Meeting
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks! I'm proposing we cancel the QA meeting for Monday. I'm off
sick at the moment, and have some medical appointments that morning.
It's also a public holiday in Czech, so all the RH folks from that
office won't be around to run or attend the meeting. If there is a
desire to have the meeting, someone else can volunteer to run it :)
Thanks!

2020-09-28 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 33 Blocker Review Meeting
by Ben Cotton
# F33 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2020-09-28
# Time: 16:00 UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net
Hi folks! We have 3 proposed Final blockers and 1 proposed Final
freeze exception,
so we'll have a Fedora 33 blocker review meeting on Monday.
If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or
accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found
here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ .
** NEW ** - you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings!
For the Fedora 33 cycle we enabled a new voting system and have been
using it pretty heavily. If you look at the bug list in the
blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed
blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where
you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has
instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the
tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the
meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the
ticket voting yet.
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 F33 can be found on the
wiki [0].

check out these links:

- 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:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting
Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!

Fedora 33 Upgrade Test Day 2020-09-21
by Sumantro Mukherjee
Hey All,
As we come closer to Fedora 33 Beta, it's time to test upgrades.
Fedora 33 has a lot of changesets [0] and it becomes essential that we
test the graphical upgrade
methods as well as the command line.
As a part of this test day[1], we will test upgrading from a full
updated, F31 and F32 to the F33 for
all architectures(x86_64,ARM,aarch64) and
variants(WS,cloud,server,silverblue,IoT).
The results can be submitted here[2]
As usual, we hang out on the #fedora-test-day, should you have questions.

Hi folks! I'm proposing we cancel the QA meeting for Monday. I don't
have much for the agenda, and I actually won't be available to run the
meeting either. If there is a desire to have the meeting, someone else
can volunteer to run it :)
Thanks!
