According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Schedule the Alpha of F16 is due out on Aug 16. I agree that it would be useful to do F15 testing in advance of that, but that once F16 Alpha is out, that should probably be the first priority, IMHO. Here's some factors to consider: Do we have a generalized AMI test plan that is applicable for both F15 and F16? If so, where is it and do we have any history of previous AMIs that have been run through that test plan and how things went? Do we have any official QA resources from the Fedora QA group, or is the QA that we do entirely on volunteer time? If we find bugs, how much developer bandwidth is available for the fixing of them, and what do we predict the release cycle of AMIs can/will be throughout the F16 cycle? Just because we have an Alpha, Beta, RC, Gold of F16 doesn't mean we can only build an F16 AMI 4 times. We need an F16 AMI QA schedule. We need to know if that schedule includes any guaranteed QA/rel-eng/developer resource time. My apologies if any of the above is redundant. I'm still early in jumping in on the Fedora Cloud SIG, compared to other parts of Fedora that I've been following more closely recently. --Max _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
