Hello all,
Fedora 33 will go end of life for updates and support on 30th of
November 2021. No further updates, including security updates, will be
available for Fedora 33 after the said date. All the updates of Fedora
33 being pushed to stable will be stopped as well.
Fedora 34 will continue to receive updates until approximately one
month after the release of Fedora 36. The maintenance schedule of
Fedora releases is documented on the Fedora Project wiki [0]. The
fedora Project wiki also contains instructions [1] on how to upgrade
from a previous release of Fedora to a version receiving updates.
Regards,
Mohan Boddu.

Short background: a little while ago, I proposed that we move CommonBugs
from the wiki to a special section of Ask Fedora. Details here:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org/…
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I hacked up some starting ideas, and am now
ready for other people to help. I'm looking for
a) People who are interested in helping figure out how this new system
should work, and possibly helping document and code.
b) People who are interested in helping maintain the posts as part of the
Common Issues Triage Team, which I imagine existing as a sub-group of
Fedora QA. I'd like to _lighten_ the work for the QA team members who
are currently maintaining the wiki.
c) Those current folks for input and hopefully also a & b going forward.
d) Someone to help me put my prototype bot script into production.
e) People who are entirely skeptical of this whole idea, because I'd like to
(at best) try and convince you or (failing that) at least include your
perspective.
If you fit any of these categories, please join me at
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/new-common-issues-process-trial-next-steps/…
Thanks!

# Fedora Quality Assurance Meeting
# Date: 2021-11-29
# Time: ** 16:00 ** UTC
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto)
# Location: #fedora-meeting on irc.libera.chat
Greetings testers!
Last week's meeting was pretty sparsely attended, so let's run it again
to get input from a few more folks on some important topics.
Note again that as clocks have now gone back everywhere that observes
Daylight Savings Time (I think), the meeting time changes to 16:00 UTC.
If you are in a region that observes daylight savings, the meeting
should be at **THE SAME** local time as usual. If you are in a region
that does not observe daylight savings, the meeting will be **ONE HOUR
LATER** than it was before. You can use `date -u` to check the current
UTC time; also see the UTCHowto link above.
If anyone has any other items for the agenda, please reply to this
email and suggest them! Thanks.
== Proposed Agenda Topics ==
1. Previous meeting follow-up
2. Fedora 36 status
3. Fedora 35 Retrospective proposed actions
4. Current criteria / test case proposals
5. Test Day / community event status
6. Open floor

We didn't meet for a few weeks and there's quite a lot of active
topics, so let's get together on Monday!

Hey All,
I would like to invite all of you to participate in the Kernel 5.15
Test week is happening from 2021-11-14 to 2021-11-21. It's
fairly simple, head over to the wiki [0] and read in detail about the
test week and simply run the test case mentioned in[1] and enter your
results.
As usual, the Fedora QA team will hangout at #fedora-test-day(a)libera.chat
for question and
discussion.
If you are someone who is just starting out, remember that we give out
badges[2] for
testing new Kernel Builds!
Collect 'em now :)

Fedora QE
TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED
Hi folks! As per the feedback to my mail on test@, I'm proposing we
cancel the QA meeting on Monday as I won't be around to run it. We'll
meet next week instead.
Thanks!
