Announcing the release of Fedora 25 Alpha!
by Dennis Gilmore 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

The Fedora Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Fedora 25 Alpha, an important milestone on the road to our Fedora 25 release in November. Download the prerelease from our Get Fedora site: * https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/prerelease/ * https://getfedora.org/en/server/prerelease/ * https://getfedora.org/en/cloud/prerelease/ Or, check out one of our popular variants: * https://spins.fedoraproject.org/prerelease * https://labs.fedoraproject.org/prerelease * https://arm.fedoraproject.org/prerelease == Alternative Architectures == We are also simultaneously releasing the F25 Alpha for Power64 and 64-bit ARM (AArch64). These are available from: https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/ 25_Alpha/ == What is the Alpha release? == The Alpha release contains all the features of Fedora 25's editions in a form that anyone can help test. This testing, guided by the Fedora QA team, helps us target and identify bugs. When these bugs are fixed, we make a Beta release available. A Beta release is code-complete and bears a very strong resemblance to the third and final release. The final release of Fedora 25 is expected in November. If you take the time to download and try out the Alpha, you can check and make sure the things that are important to YOU are working. Every bug you find and report doesn't just help you, it improves the experience of millions of Fedora users worldwide! Together, we can make Fedora rock-solid. We have a culture of coordinating new features and pushing fixes upstream as much as we can, and your feedback improves not only Fedora, but Linux and Free software as a whole. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/25/Schedule == Issues and Details == Since this is an alpha release, we expect that you may encounter bugs or missing features. To report issues encountered during testing, contact the Fedora QA team via the mailing list or in #fedora-qa on Freenode. As testing progresses, common issues are tracked on the Common F25 Bugs page. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F25_bugs For tips on reporting a bug effectively, read "how to file a bug report". * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_file_a_bug_report == Release Schedule == The full release schedule is available on the Fedora wiki: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/25/Schedule The current schedule calls for a beta release towards the middle of October, and the final release in November. Be aware that these dates are development targets. Some projects release on a set date regardless of feature completeness or bugs; others wait until certain thresholds for functionality or testing are met. Fedora uses a hybrid model, with milestones subject to adjustment. This allows us to make releases with new features and newly- integrated and updated upstream software while also retaining high quality. Enjoy Fedora Release Engineering (Dennis, Peter, Kevin, Mohan, Adam, Randy)

# F25 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2016-08-29 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net Hi folks! We currently have 3 proposed Beta blockers and 3 proposed Final blockers to review. If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed.

Proposal to CANCEL: 2016-08-29 Fedora QA Meeting
by Adam Williamson 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

Hi folks! I'm proposing we cancel Monday's QA meeting. Sumantro is away so we probably won't have any big test day news, and I can't think of anything else urgent for the agenda. Does anyone have anything? If so, please reply to this mail, and we can run the meeting. Thanks everyone!

by Adam Williamson 19 Aug '16

19 Aug '16

Hey All, This is a gentle reminder that we have a Fedora QA onboarding call on Sat 2016-08-20 at 1700-1900 UTC. We will focus on helping the new contributors to start contributing right away. The meeting will be a video call, with a 'piratepad'[1] for text notes and chat. The agenda is already on the piratepad and is designed to ensure that newcomers can follow along and make the most of the call without any pre-requisites. To join the call, just open the piratepad. The call URL will be posted there 10 minutes before the meeting starts. Piratepad is a collaborative text editor with a chat system. You can enter your nickname at top-right and choose a color. Then you can chat by typing in the 'Chat:' box at bottom-right, and make edits to the text on the left hand side - please be polite about editing other people's text and not typing too much! Let's make the most of tomorrow's session and make Fedora better! [1] http://piratepad.nl/kCKiX7RN1H
