[Test-Announce] Fedora 25 Workstation Wayland Test Day: 2016-10-13!
Hi folks! Time to announce another Fedora 25 Test Day: [Wayland Test
Day][1]! Note, the wiki page doesn't exist yet, as the wiki is having
issues right now, but I wanted to make the announcement early enough to
give people time to prepare.
You may have read that we plan to make Fedora 25 Workstation the first
release to default to [Wayland][2] (rather than X11) as the graphical
server. This has been in place since Fedora 25 Alpha, but to prepare
for the general release, we'd like to run a test day and get some
broad-based testing to ensure that Wayland is at least good enough for
an initial release, and that the option to switch to X11 works properly
for those cases where it might be necessary.
You'll be able to run most of the tests from a live image (without
doing a permanent installation). All the test instructions will be on
[the wiki page][1] and there will be QA and developer folks around all
day in [the IRC channel][3] to help you test and report any issues you
find.
Just about anyone with a computer can help with this testing, and we'd
like to have feedback from as many users as possible, so please, if you
have a little time on Thursday, come help out! As always, the event
will be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC. If you don’t know how to
use IRC, you can read [these instructions][4], or just use [WebIRC][3].
