# Fedora Quality Assurance Meeting
# Date: 2023-11-27

# Location: ** #fedora-meeting on irc.libera.chat **
Greetings testers! It's time for another QA meeting.
Note clocks have changed everywhere they change, by now. If you follow
daylight savings time, the meeting should be at the same local time as
usual. If you do not follow daylight savings time, the meeting will be
one hour later than it was over the summer, in your local time. You can
run `date -u` to see the current UTC time if you are unsure.
As usual lately, please note this meeting will really be *on IRC*.
Matrix may be ready for meeting purposes pretty soon, but I need to
check on that before moving the meeting. So please use an IRC client or
the web client - https://web.libera.chat/#fedora-meeting - to join.
If anyone has any other items for the agenda, please reply to this
email and suggest them! Thanks.
Note I have a partial conflict for the second half hour of the meeting
slot, so might have to cut the meeting short or let someone take over.
== Proposed Agenda Topics ==
1. Previous meeting follow-up
2. Fedora 40 check-in and Change review
3. Communications overhaul: Discourse and Matrix?
4. Test Day / community event status
5. Open floor

Hey All,
I would like to invite all of you to participate in the Kernel 6.6
Test week is happening from 2023-11-12 to 2023-11-19. 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 questions and discussion.

Greetings testers! It's time for another QA meeting.
Note clocks have changed in North America, so the meeting time in UTC
has also changed, as usual. If you follow daylight savings time and
have already set your clock back, the meeting will be at the same local
time as before. If you do not follow daylight savings time or have not
yet set your clocks back, the meeting will be one hour later than
before in your local time. You can run `date -u` to see the current UTC
time if you are unsure.

Hi Fedora users, developers, and friends!
It's time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 40.
For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused
around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results,
with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers
together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can
run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do
some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it
doesn't have to be code, for instance, we often run Test Days for
l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days .
Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that
the QA group helps you out with organization or any combination of the
two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in fedora-qa pagure - here's
an example https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issue/624 . For
instructions on hosting a Test Day, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management .
You can see the schedule at https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issues?tags=test+days .
There are many slots open right now. Consider the development
schedule, though, in deciding when you want to run your Test Day - for
some topics you may want to avoid
the time before the Beta release or the time after the feature freeze
or the Final Freeze.
We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want
to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do
something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is
how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday
slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up
Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a
Test Day in a specific time frame due to the development schedule, but
the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another
day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or time frame you'd
like, and we'll figure it out from there.
If you don't want to run your own Test Day, but you are willing to
help with another, feel free to join one or more of already accepted
Test Days:
GNOME Test Day*
i18n Test Day*
Kernel Test Week(s)*
Upgrade Test Day*
IoT Test Week*
Cloud Test Day*
Fedora CoreOS Test Week*
And don't be afraid, there are a lot of more slots available for your
own Test Day!
[*] These are the test days we run generally to make sure everything
is working fine, the dates get announced as we move into the release
cycle.
If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't
hesitate to contact me or any member of the Fedora QA team on test at
lists.fedoraproject.org or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks!
