# F34 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2021-03-29
# Time: **16:00** UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net
Hi folks! We have 4 proposed Final blockers and 1 proposed Final freeze
exception issue to review (as of now), so we'll have a Fedora 34 blocker
review meeting tomorrow.
If you have time today, 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/ .
Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If
you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links
labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions.
Those links take you to tickets where you can vote.
https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how
exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the
meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs
where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS
MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!**
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. Information on the release criteria for F34 can be found on the
wiki [0].

works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out

Have a good day and see you tomorrow!

Hi folks! I'm proposing we cancel the QA meeting tomorrow. I don't have
anything urgent this week, and we'll be doing a blocker meeting for F34.
If you're aware of anything important we have to discuss this week,
please do reply to this mail and we can go ahead and run the meeting.
Thanks!

Greetings testers!
We didn't meet for a couple of weeks, and Beta is signed off now, so
let's check in on that and make sure we're all ready for Beta release.
Note that daylight savings time started in most of North America
recently, so the meeting time in UTC has been changed. If your clocks
went forward recently, the meeting time in your local time will be the
same as it was before. If your area does not observe daylight savings,
or starts later, the meeting will be an hour *earlier* in your local
time than it was before. You can use 'date -u' to check the current UTC
time and make sure you head to the meeting at the right time.
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
2. Fedora 34 Beta prep and status
3. Test Day / community event status
4. Open floor

Hey All,
Fedora users in out-of-memory (OOM) situations get benefitted by
enabling systemd-oomd[0] by default. Actions taken by systemd-oomd
operate on a per-cgroup level, aligning well with the life cycle of
systemd units. As this becomes a default feature, we are running a
test week to verify the intended functionality of the feature.
Systemd-oomd will be enabled by default in all variants of Fedora 34
and it's important for us to test against as many as possible. The
test week[1] begins on the 18th of March and will run till 25th March.
If you have any questions and some spare time, please do test the
feature and drop by #fedora-test-day@freenode
