Call for Test Days for Fedora 18
by Adam Williamson 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hey, folks. It's that time again - time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 18. For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results, with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it doesn't have to be code, for instance we often run Test Days for l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days . Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that the QA group helps you out with organization, or any combination of the two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in QA trac - full details are at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Create . For instructions on hosting a Test Day, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management . You can see the schedule at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_18_test_days . There are many slots open right now, with the earliest on 2012-08-09 and the latest 2012-11-01. Consider the development schedule, though, in deciding when you want to run your Test Day - for some topics you may want to avoid the time before the Alpha release or the time after the feature freeze or the Final freeze. We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a Test Day in a specific timeframe due to the development schedule, but the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or timeframe you'd like, and we'll figure it out from there. If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't hesitate to contact me or any other member of the QA team on test@ or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

by Kevin Fenzi 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Greetings. Fedora 18 is entering final change freeze. There will be one more push to stable at 23:59:59 UTC tonight that will appear in tomorrow's branched compose. Newly Submitted updates will land in updates-testing after being pushed. Only updates that fix accepted blocker and accepted NTH bugs for the Final release will be pushed into the base repo when stable. Once Final release is certified gold, any updates waiting for stable status will be pushed to the stable updates repository, and become 0 day updates for the release. We are in the Pre release section of the release, so the Pre release to final updates policy applies: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Pre_release Please see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Branch_Freeze_Policy http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Change_deadlines http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_nth_bug_process For more details. kevin

Heads up: Fedora 18 Final Change Deadline and Feature Process changes
by Jaroslav Reznik 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi! FESCo on today's meeting decided to move the final change deadline by one week earlier (2012-12-11) to avoid Christmas holidays break [1] but the final release date remains the same - 2013-01-08 [2]. After the Final Change Deadline only approved blocker and NTH bugs will be included into the final release, please make sure to do the Bodhi work for everything you'd like to see in final. FESCo also agreed on Feature Process modifications [3] - from now, all proposed features will be publicly announced on devel-announce by the Feature Wrangler once the page content is verified for correctness and FESCo votes on Feature no sooner than a week after the announcement to encourage broader discussion.
