+AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQ
      +ACo The 3rd scheduled blocker bug meeting will be hosted this Friday
        (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP+AF8-Blocker+AF8-Bug+AF8-Meeting).
      +ACo The f15 Alpha blocker bug is
        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show+AF8-bug.cgi?id+AD0-F15alpha.  If you
        think a bug should block the release of F15 Alpha, set it as
        blocking that bug, and it will be reviewed at the meeting
      +ACo The F15 Alpha nice-to-have bug is
        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show+AF8-bug.cgi?id+AD0-f15alpha-accepted.
        This is for bugs which don't block the release but for which
        fixes should be allowed through alpha freeze.  You can propose
        bugs for it directly if you're sure they don't meet the blocker
        requirements+ADs otherwise we usually put things on it when they
        don't get accepted as blockers
      +ACo +ADs Next Steps ...
             1. jlaska - send F15Alpha blocker review announcement
             2. HELP - file bugs and propose as blockers


TOPIC: Testing Fedora 15 in KVM virtual machines
+AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9
      +ACo kparal raised the topic on the mailing list -- see
        http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-February/096856.html
      +ACo After discussing the differences in environments, the team
        agreed that using KVM for testing is acceptable.  However,
        testers and test organizers, should recognize that virt is only
        one of many environments that may need testing.  
      +ACo Additionally, the desktop validation matrix may need review to
        account for fallback mode, and other areas to ensure test
        coverage in multiple environments (bare-metal and virt)
      +ACo Next Steps ...
             1. HELP - Adjustments to the desktop validation matrix
                (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Desktop+AF8-validation+AF8-testing) may be required to accomodate for fallback mode, and/or other hardware environments.  Suggestions/drafts encouraged.


TOPIC: GNOME3 Test Day Summary
+AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9
      +ACo We had the first of three GNOME 3 test days on thursday, it went
        very well thanks to heroic work by the desktop team to get
        testing packages ready
      +ACo We had several dozen testers and lots of juicy bugs reported.
      +ACo Thanks to everyone who came and tested+ACEAIQAh
      +ACo rbergeron asked about the process for how bugs are prioritized
        after the event, how do we know the bugs are prioritized and
        fixed as needed.  Adamwill noted that he would review the bugs
        filed and recommend moving to the appropriate upstream (or
        downstream) blocker list.
      +ACo Next steps ...
             1. Adam expecting to send test summary later today


TOPIC: Best Practices for test day bug reporting
+AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9
      +ACo After discussing the GNOME3 test day practice of filing
        functionality bugs upstream (bugzilla.gnome.org), and packaging
        bugs downstream (bugzilla.redhat.com), some debate ensued as to
        whether multiple bug reporting systems was an impediment to test
        day contributors.
      +ACo One idea was to require that all future test days file bugs in
        the same place (downstream)
      +ACo One idea was to add a caution/note to the test day SOP to noting
        that multiple bug trackers may be confusing to participants.
      +ACo The meeting ran over the allotted time, and no agreement was
        reached
      +ACo Next steps ...
             1. johannbg agreed to continue discussion on
                test+AEA-lists.fedoraproject.org


TOPIC: HOWTO debug guide requirement
+AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9AD0APQA9
      +ACo johannbg suggested we should make it a requirement for test days
        to have how+AF8-to+AF8-debug pages ready present for the components that
        are being tested present and ready before the test
      +ACo Adamwill noted that adding a ''suggestion'' to the test day SOP
        for a debug guide seemed like a good idea
      +ACo Next steps ...
             1. HELP - Propose update to
                https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP+AF8-Test+AF8-Day+AF8-management
