Storage Filtering Test Day Thursday 2009-10-01
by He Rui 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Greetings, A big test day is coming up tomorrow: Anaconda/Features/StorageFiltering <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/StorageFiltering> test day. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-10-01_Anaconda/Features/Storag… This is a broad topic that can improve the user's experience with regard to the storage configuration portion of system installation. The event would aim at validating f11 storage bugs[1] and confirming a baseline of functionality from F-12 anaconda storage. So users with varies kinds of storage devices like SAS, SCSI, PATA, ISCSI etc are highly welcomed to this test day. Live image is already available on the test day website in case you don't have a latest rawhide version. So don't hesitate to join it and leave your valuable results there. :-) See you on this HAPPY test day!

2009-09-24: Xfce Test Day
by Adam Williamson 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Tomorrow, 2009-09-24, will be Xfce Test Day[1]. The Xfce spin of Fedora is popular among Xfce enthusiasts, and the maintainer Kevin Fenzi is always keen to have it as polished as possible for each Fedora release, so please come out to Freenode IRC #fedora-test-day and help us make sure Xfce is in good shape for Fedora 12. There will be a live image available for testing, and testing is pretty straightforward: all we need you to do is use Xfce just as you usually would, and check to make sure everything’s working properly. We’re also interested in seeing if the official Xfce browser, Midori[2], is good enough to be the default browser on the Xfce live spin. Thanks to all who come along to help test! 1: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-09-24_XFCE 2: http://www.twotoasts.de/index.php?/pages/midori_summary.html -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora Virt Test Day [fwd]
by David Pravec 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi all, We have another Fedora Test Day for virtualization coming up this Thursday, September 17. We're making good progress fleshing out a wiki with test cases here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-09-17_Virtualization Please do come along and help out with the testing, 'cause we've got plenty to test! :-) If you think you can make it on Thursday, pick a test area (or areas) and put your name where it says "add your name here". We're going make a LiveCD image available, so "I don't have a rawhide machine" is no excuse this time. The idea with the LiveCD is that you'll just mount local or NFS storage for guest images, and so long as you have enough RAM you should be able to test most things. See you Thursday on #fedora-test-day! Thanks, Mark. _______________________________________________ Fedora-virt mailing list Fedora-virt(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-virt

Fedora 12 Beta Review Meeting--Friday 2009-09-18 @ 15:00 UTC (11 AM EDT)

Review will focus on unresolved bugs listed on the F12Beta list Have an issue you'd like to propose for F12Beta? Please consider the following criteria when escalating an issue: * Can this issue be fixed with a future rawhide update or is it part of the media kit? * Is this defect a high (or greater) severity [1] with no, or an unreasonable, workaround? * Does the presence of this bug dramatically reduce test coverage? If in doubt add it to the blocker or ask for help.

Sound / PulseAudio Test Day Wednesday 2009-09-16
by Adam Williamson 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

So after the excitement of last week's X.org Test Week, we have another big ticket Test Day coming up on Wednesday: sound Test Day. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-09-16_Audio We will be doing some broad-based tests to try and make sure that typical audio use works properly on as wide as possible a range of hardware in Fedora 12. And yes, the Test Day includes PulseAudio. Here's your chance to test out whether the current Fedora 12 code and PulseAudio work properly with your sound card, and complain - appropriately, of course! - if they don't. As usual, we will be providing live images for testing, so you'll be able to test without installing anything permanently or affecting your regular Fedora (or other operating system!) at all. Testing will be very easy, just a case of booting the live image and testing a few simple sound-related operations. Just testing whether sound works at all out of the box will be very helpful. So please come along on Wednesday and help us test! Even if you can't make it on Wednesday, it will be very useful if you can run the tests and provide your feedback in the results table, either before or after the Test Day happens. The Test Day itself will be taking place all day in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC. Please note that the wiki page isn't finalized yet; it's obviously missing the live images (which I haven't yet generated) and the test cases. These should appear tomorrow, but I wanted to get the word out about the event as soon as possible. I'd like to say a big thanks to Lennart for being very positive about the idea of doing a Test Day, and getting involved with the organization. He'll be present on IRC for the Test Day, too (his IRC nickname is 'mezcalero'). Please don't use this as a venue for broad, unhelpful complaints or flames about PulseAudio: we're genuinely interested in fixing any specific issues that arise in PA as a result of the Test Day, but flamewars about its intrinsic value will only clutter up the channel, annoy everyone involved, and waste time. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Graphics Test Week (ATI, NVIDIA and Intel graphics Test Days)
by Adam Williamson 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Yes, it is now that legendary time, well loved by the hearts of men for millennia(*): Graphics Test Week! Tomorrow - 2009-09-09 - is ATI/AMD Radeon graphics card Test Day (1). Thursday - 2009-09-10 - is NVIDIA graphics card Test Day (2). And Friday - 2009-09-11 - is Intel graphics card Test Day (3). I am currently rolling up a pair of live CD images that will likely be used for all three days; they should be uploaded soon. Please, please grab the live CDs, do the testing, and come out to the Test Day(s) for the graphics hardware you own! As always, graphics are a critical piece of Fedora and we want to make sure Fedora 12 works on as wide a range of graphics hardware as possible. The testing's very easy to do and it shouldn't take more than an hour of your time to boot the live CD and run the tests. There's no need to install anything to hard disk. You don't even need to be a Fedora user to take part, and what's in Fedora's drivers today will be in everyone else's tomorrow, so helping us test this benefits all distributions down the road. The Test Day gatherings themselves are held in IRC, in channel #fedora-test-day on the Freenode network. Please do join in if you can - we can help advise you with any questions you have, and if you run into bugs, the developers can investigate them with you right away. If you can't make it out for the actual day, though, you can still do the testing, and your results are still useful! Just download the live image, do the tests, and fill in the results table as the page instructs. Many thanks to everyone who's able to make it out and do the testing. Remember - tomorrow ATI; Thursday NVIDIA; Friday Intel. * - well, okay. Not really millennia. More like...months.
