Hey, everyone. We have one final Beta RC (hopefully!) for desktop validation:

http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16-Beta.RC3/Live/x86_64/

We could really use some help ensuring the desktop validation tests are done across all the desktops to make sure they're in shape for Beta. More info and the results page here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_16_Beta_RC3_Desktop

It's easy to do the tests and file the results, there's full instructions there, but do feel free to poke me or anyone else in #fedora-qa if you have trouble.

At minimum we need the Alpha and Beta tests for Desktop, Fallback and KDE to be complete in order to sign off on the Beta release, but it'd be great to have results for all of the tests for all desktops.

We got the tests done for Desktop and KDE in RC2, and there should be no difference with RC3 - the only changes between RC2 and RC3 are an updated libreport to fix a bug with reporting bugs from the installer, and dropping gnome-documents from the default install as it crashes on start - but we still need to check. Fallback mode is highest priority as that wasn't tested in RC2.

Thanks!
