Wwoods noted it would be great if there was an SOP available so that
direct involvement with QA wasn't required. Jlaska pointed to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management

== Updates Testing ==

There are some disparate efforts underway designed to improve the
Updates testing workflow.  Currently, the only defined process discusses
using {{command|yum}} to enable ''updates-testing'' (see [[QA/Updates
Testing]]).  Jlaska asked the group for ideas on what tasks are needed
to define a process by which testers can provide test feedback for
updated packages.

Ideas included:
     1. we need a policy/sop for the 'proventesters' group
     2. we need a guide to providing updates-testing feedback for
        branched + released explaining what should be tested and how to
        give feedback
     3. we need general guidance on that which applies to all packages;
        having specific instructions for some is also good, but the
        priority should be to define exactly what the acceptance testing
        is supposed to check
     4. Improve documenting around using fedora-easy-karma

adamw and maxamillion took actions items for follow-up next week.

== Open discussion - <Your topic here> ==

=== Adjust meeting time? ===

      * Kparal and jskladan asked whether the QA meeting time could
        adjust to keep the localtime the same, but change UTC.  
      * This would moving the meeting from 16:00 UTC to 15:00 UTC during
        spring+summer.  
      * No objections were made during the meeting, jlaska would raise
        the topic on the list as well.

= Action items =

     1. wwoods and adamw to discuss tooling needs for priv esc. test
     2. maxamillion will work on second draft of provenpackagers
        proposal
     3. adamw will provide a draft for the update test plan
     4. jlaska to post meeting time change request to test at l.fp.org
