A few ideas for test day topics Overall, an excellent idea and plan. We had some very good results with an OLPC test group in Wellington NZ, which started gathering every saturday morning at a trendy cafe to test OS snapshots. They keep the practice going with both OS snapshots for the XO and Sugar-on-a-Stick (LiveUSB) images. Using liveCDs and live USB disks is great as you can upgrade, downgrade and potentially bisect a bug quickly. It also means you can run it on many different bits of HW (assuming you've invited everyone to bring their laptops ;-) ) The event is a social thing as much as a technical thing. Of course, it is a great environment to find and diagnose certain kinds of bugs, just like running Fedora betas on a server helps catch and debug only certain kinds of bugs. But the bugs that you are likely to find and diagnose are exactly those that affect the casual and newcomer desktop user. We did find a few things that work well in terms of nurturing a core group of people joining regularly, and switching from the social chatter to the effective bug-hunting and filing. Let me know if you're interested in more info on this. cheers! martin -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
