#221: Reduce Blocker Bug Review Meeting Length

== Description ==
While the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting
blocker bug review meetings] are very much a necessary thing, they have a
tendency to be long, tedious and not a whole lot of fun for those
involved.
During the Fedora 15 retrospective, there was a request to streamline the
process in order to distribute the workload and avoid more 4+ hour
meetings.
Any proposals on how to reduce the length of the meetings while
maintaining their utility would be much appreciated.
== Proposals ==
Pending discussion in comments and email

[Fedora QA] #152: Test Cases Management
by fedora-badges
#152: Test Cases Management
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: rhe | Owner: rhe
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 15
Component: Wiki | Version:
Keywords: retrospective |
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
= problem =
We've been using mediawiki to manage tests and record results, though it's
easy to approach, it has limitations such as managing, tracking and
querying cases+results. So is it time for us to consider another solution
such as TCMS?
= analysis =
Here I quoted the suggestion from Victer Chen:
some advantages of TCMS:
* Better to record, track and query test results,
* Allow user focus on test contents instead of document maintenance.
* Share test cases
However, it couldn't be flexible as wiki. I think the most important
things need balance are below:
- Barriers
Fedora should provide very low barriers. TCMS could be configured to
allow anonymous user login and limit it's permission. Also, we can
consider using fedora account to login TCMS.
- Safety
Wiki provides the ability to rollback content easily, while TCMS
couldn't. What TCMS can do is recording all the history and allow user
recovery it manually. But if we configure the permission well, it should
not be a big problem.
= enhancement recommendation =
Work with TCMS team and package it to Fedora. Set up the system and use it
in a small scale first. If it turns out good, enlarger the scale.

#81: Add i18n release criteria
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: jlaska | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 14
Component: Wiki | Version:
Keywords: retrospective |
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
= problem =
See [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=571900
RHBZ#571900 - Keyboard mapping not correct (USA instead of Belgium) when
first login after install Fedora 13 Alpha]
= analysis =
* Currently we don't have i18n installation cases, so local language
install is not tested as a demand. Untranslated pages are still existing
after RC test. Such cases needed be added in test as well as release
criteria.
* Does the Fedora i18n team have any release criteria to propose?
* RHBZ #571900 pointed out the need for a better understanding of how the
language and keymap installer selections impact the installed system.
= enhancement recommendation =
Recommend reviewing the release criteria to ensure expectations are
captured around propagating language and keymap settings from install to
desktop login (/etc/sysconfig/i18n, image:Package-x-generic-16.pnggdm
etc...). It may also be advised to coordinate with the installer team so
that bugs can be filed for any missing functionality.

New section in Installation test matrix: i18n/l10n (non-English installs)
by Adam Williamson
Hey folks! While looking at old trac tickets -
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/81 - I noticed that we
actually have test cases for non-English installs:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:I18n_Installation
but we've never put them in the release validation test pages. At
present we cover keymap testing via the encrypted install and desktop
login test cases, but whenever it's come up in the past, no-one's
seemed really happy about that approach. And we haven't ever had an
explicit test case for 'run the installer in languages other than
English', even though we frequently encounter bugs in that - I usually
do actually test it, but often later than we should be doing.
So since we have these test cases around already, I figured let's just
go ahead and use them. I've added a new section to the Installation
matrix template:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:Installation_test_matrix#Internat...
tomorrow I plan to clean up and modernize the test cases a bit, and
then drop the non-English keymap bits from the other test cases.
As we've been over this before and I was usually the only one who
defended the 'do it in other test cases' approach I figured it was
fine to just go ahead and do this, but if anyone has objections,
please say so :)

Does anyone reuse /boot or /var partitions ?
by Steven Usdansky
I have a multiboot setup, and add/remove distros often enough that a
having a boot partition is a must for me. The boot partition's
grub.cfg file just chainloads each distro's grub2 (located in each
distro's partition; each distro has its own /boot). The boot
partition's grub.cfg is updated manually when I install a new distro.
My preferred setup would be a single boot partition with the necessary
parts each distro's /boot automagically installed into a separate
directory within the boot partition.
