Hi folks! It seems like a sensible idea to hold a Wayland Test Day for Fedora 25, with the switch to using it by default for Workstation. I've opened a Test Day ticket in QA trac:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/492
it'd be great to get feedback on the date - ideally it'd be great to have some devs around, so please, if you're one of the main upstream/downstream devs/maintainers give your feedback on the proposed date, 2016-10-06 - and it'd also be great to have ideas for what stuff we should test outside of the standard desktop validation tests:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Desktop_Acceptance_Test_Cases
Thanks everyone!

So I didn't really get much of a reply to this. It's a bit close to the proposed date now, so I'm going to suggest that instead we do it a week later on 2016-10-13, which should be just after the Beta release and hopefully we can piggyback off the Beta release publicity a bit.
If there are no *explicit objections* to the 2016-10-13 date in the next day or two I'm just gonna go ahead and set things up for that date. It'd be great to have some GNOME / Wayland developers present on the day, though, so please do yell if you'd like to attend but cannot make that date (and suggest when you would be available).
Hi Adam, I am adding Olivier and Jonas to the CC here as they are the two people best positioned here to help out from the engineering side.

What is the scope of a Wayland testing day? I'd like to contribute.
But: I doubt there are many more bugs I'll find, because I reported most of them already. But it's probably time to try to reproduce all the "WaylandRelated" and especially "WaylandByDefault" bugs to see which bugs are fixed and which are still present.
So are there any plans to look for anything specific (like a check-list) or for a list of applications the testing day people choose from?

It's more or less going to be asking people to do what you've done already, yes: boot up a live image (I've built one with latest gtk3 / gnome-shell / mutter builds, to ensure we have the latest Wayland fixes), optionally install it, and play around with your usual desktop use and various applications and see what bugs you run into.
The main goal of having a Test Day is just to get *lots of people* to do that, and make sure all the results are logged and attached to the tracker.
I'm basing the page on the similar test day we had in 2014, planning to use most of the same test cases with appropriate updates for current Fedora:
