Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting for this important
meeting, wherein we shall determine the readiness of the Fedora 24
Beta.
The meeting is going to be held on Thursday, April 28, 2016 17:00 UTC.
Please check the [Fedocal] link for your time zone.
Before each public release Development, QA and Release Engineering
meet to determine if the release criteria are met for a particular
release. This meeting is called the Go/No-Go Meeting. Verifying that
the Release criteria are met is the responsibility of the QA Team.
Release Candidate (RC) availability and good QA coverage are
prerequisites for the Go/No-Go meeting. If you have any bug on the
list, please help us with Beta release. If we won't be ready by
Thursday, we will use this meeting to review blockers and decide what
to do.
For more details about this meeting please follow the [GoNoGoMeeting] link.
In the meantime, please keep also an eye on the Fedora 24 Beta Blocker
list [Blockers].

Greetings testers!
It's meeting time again on Monday! We have some F24 Changes to discuss,
and we need to plan out F24 Beta testing, and maybe discuss any extra
Test Days we might want to hold.
If anyone has any other items for the agenda, please reply to this
email and suggest them! Thanks.
== Proposed Agenda Topics ==
1. Previous meeting follow-up
* adamw to get dennis' thoughts on https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6383
* adamw to tweak i18n test day page a bit so it's clearer that tests are found on the app page
* sumantro to work on test cases for the media writer Test Day, adamw to guide and help out
2. Live Media Writer status
3. Workstation graphical upgrade planning
* Likely not to be entirely ready for Beta: how do we want to handle this?

the schedule of course is at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/24/Schedule and you need to have your
Fedora 24 Changes code complete

Tomorrow (Tuesday 2016-04-19) will be Fedora Media Writer Test Day[1]!
As part of this planned Change[2] for Fedora 24, the Fedora graphical
USB writing tool - formerly called "Live USB Creator", and still
technically called that in terms of source repos and filenames, but in
the process of being rebranded as "Fedora Media Writer" - is being
extensively revised and rewritten. The idea is the new tool will be
sufficiently capable, reliable, and cross-platform usable that it can
be the primary download for Fedora Workstation 24: the main 'flow' of
the Workstation download page will run through the tool, instead of
giving you a download link to the ISO file and various instructions for
using it in different ways.
This would be a pretty big change, and of course it would be a bad idea
to do it if the tool isn't ready. So this is an important Test Day!
We'll be testing the new version of the tool to see whether it's
working well enough and catch any remaining issues.
It's also pretty easy to join in: all you'll need is a USB stick you
don't mind overwriting, and a system (or ideally more than one!) you
can test booting the stick on (but you don't need to make any permanent
changes to it).
All the instructions are on the wiki page, so please read through and
come help us test tomorrow!
As always, the event will be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC.
