StrongCryptoSettings3 Setting Test Day
by Sumantro Mukherjee
Hey All,
We have a bunch of test days coming up, we are currently running
StrongCryptoSettings3 test day. I will be keeping this open for
community members to come and test. It's fairly simple, just run the
commands you find in[0] and your output should correspond to [1]
This is an *unconventional* test day which means, two things
1. You must try out any exotic VPN, git work flow, chat apps and see
if they work
2. Anything which will use OpenSSL will be affected and any corner
case should be possibly tested!
The first set of quick command execution will be easy. The test day
matrix will be open for the time being and it will be great to have
this tested!

2022-09-06 (TUESDAY) @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 37 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson
# F36 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2022-09-06
# Time: 16:00 UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.libera.chat
Hi folks! We have 1 proposed Beta blocker, 3 proposed Beta freeze
exceptions, and 1 proposed Final blocker to review, so let's have a
review meeting. As tomorrow (Monday) is a holiday in North America,
we'll do the meeting on **TUESDAY**, September 6.
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/ .
Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! 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. **THIS
MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!**
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 F36 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:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting
Have a good long weekend and see you Tuesday!

Proposal to CANCEL: 2022-09-05 Fedora QA Meeting
by Adam Williamson
Hi folks! I'm proposing we cancel the QA meeting tomrrow. It's a holiday
in North America and I don't have anything much for the agenda again.
There will be a blocker review meeting on Tuesday, due to the holiday.
If you're aware of anything it would be useful to discuss this week,
please do reply to this mail and we can run the meeting on Tuesday.
Thanks folks!
