Re: [Call to Arms] Fedora 19 Test Days starts this week
by Bryan Sutherland 20 Mar '13

Martin, I am cc'ing this to the FWN and Website list as I think this is a great opportunity to get more community testing and input in. There is some discussion about a few more FWN releases as we get ready to open up fedoramagazine.org. The testing requests should be fine to go out in pretty quick order.

That means testing season begins now and will continue till Fedora 19 Final Release, which may be (or may not be) on 2013-06-25. Please, fasten your seatbelts, fire up your virtual or baremetal machines and enjoy this crash testing ride with us. > > Remember: https://is0.4sqi.net/userpix/D1Y3XKHJVN4GIMRW.jpg > > Before Alpha will (or won't) be ready on 2013-04-16, we have prepared some Test Days[0] for you. Starting this Thursday with KDE 4.10 [1] with one major innovation. You are invited to try how new KDE 4.10 [2] stuff not only using Fedora 19 Live test images, but also from updates-testing repository on your current Fedora stable installation, including both Fedora 18 and Fedora 17 releases. For first time, you can test new version of whole KDE platform before it rolls up and in as an stable update for your Fedora! > > [0] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_19_test_days > [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-03-14_KDE_4.10 > [2] http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.10/ > > Well, you may already know about and use Bodhi[3] with karma voting process. But Test Day provides an opportunity to actually talk to developers before KDE 4.10 reaches stable updates and interactively report, explore, debug and fix your issues (or at least find workarounds for the time being). Together we can make this update less painful for everyday Fedora KDE users. > > [3] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ > > Join IRC #fedora-test-day on FreeNode and ask QA or developers for help, if you get into trouble. We can try to find workarounds and help you with debugging. Please report all bugs under appropriate component preferably at upstream bugzilla https://bugs.kde.org/ regarding common KDE 4.10 issues or Red Hat bugzilla http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ if you have problems with Fedora distribution integration. You can also report other Fedora bugs not related to this Test Day. Feel free to ask on IRC, if you don't know against which component or on what bugzilla you should fill the report. > > See you in Bugzilla! > > Best Regards, > > Martin Holec > Desktop QE, Red Hat Brno > > Freenode nick: Martix > Your self-appointed Fedora 19 Test Day Wrangler. > -- > marketing mailing list > marketing(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing

Next FWN issue?
by Ankur Sinha 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi guys, I noticed we haven't had a FWN issue for quite a while. If some of us are active, we could maybe try and get out an issue in the next two weeks (if 1 is too small a time period?). There seems to be quite a lot of discussion going on about some good topics, I just thought it'd be worth some news ;) PS: I haven't contributed to the FWN releases till date. I seem to have joined quite a bit after the last FWN issue. -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary. Looking to contribute to Fedora? Look here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Join_SIG http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha http://dodoincfedora.wordpress.com/
