Developer proposed 2 wks from now, but adamw suggested next week since we're booked * [adamw] review OPEN installer bugs and escalate appropriate issues to F11Beta blocker list ** iarly from the triage team did go through and review a lot of the issues, so i think it got done reasonably well. * [jlaska] email fedora-test-list@ with call for testing of rawhide installs ** Email [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-March/msg01022.html sent] ... a good selection of installer testing contributed by community. Wish I had bugzilla numbers, but not handy at this time :( * [jlaska] build XFCE live images and request fedorapeople hosting from jeremy ** Images built and were available for test day - see [[QA/Test_Days/2009-03-19#Live_Image]] * [jlaska] find Beta Release notes wiki page? ** thanks to frields ...

(see fedora-release-notes package) ** Result - QA team must internally reference the Beta release notes known issues in all IRC and email communication. == The Beta RC Process == * Jlaska asked to discuss the Beta RC build, test and release process ** What information does JesseKeating need to release the bits to the mirrors - confirmation of the anaconda-devel beta readiness criteria ** When do we have to get that feedback in? - Meet Friday around noon in #fedora-qa to provide test feedback * AdamW asked if it's possible to open up RC testing to a wider audience? ** we tried in the past, but it flooded the download site and no one could test ** Would be good to engage people, perhaps time better spent engaging during Rawhide cycle for testing Rawhide * Jlaska suggested we gather in #fedora-qa on Friday afternoon to discuss RC test feedback ** JesseKeating recommended we invite the anaconda-devel team = Open discussion = == Development Schedule Proposal == Wwoods introduced a new Fedora release schedule concept - lengthen the development/test cycle beyond 6 months ** introduce a two-month beta period after the normal 6-month development cycle --> rawhide branch ** AdamW reminded that the reason we have stable releases at all is to have 'checkpoints' for major changes like the rpm checksum issue, hence our release schedule should match the heckpoints ** Several ideas/concerns were raised. WWoods will review current proposal and open up for feedback post-beta. *** http://wwoods.fedorapeople.org/schedule.html *** http://wwoods.fedorapeople.org/images/fedora-ideal-schedules.png = Upcoming QA events = * 2009-03-26 - [[QA/Test_Days/2009-03-26|Nouveau Test Day]] * 2009-03-31 - [[BugZappers/Triage_days|BugZapper Triage Day]] * 2009-04-02 - [[QA/Test_Days/2009-04-02|Power Management Test Day]] = Action items = * [f13+wwoods] - autoqa status update * [adamw] - schedule radeon test day * [jlaska] - copy F11 beta test results wiki changes into the wiki template (several test case additions) * [wwoods] - to add some upgrade test cases to the beta results page (and template) * [jlaska] - add Beta known issues for previous disk contents, kickstart issues, KVM NAT networking problems (use static ip) * [wwoods] - document any upgrade issues in the Beta release notes * [jlaska] - setup meeting to review RC test results for Friday afternoon to include release engineering (JesseKeating) and anaconda-devel and any RC testers. = Next QA meeting = The next meeting will be held on [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2009&month=4&day=1&hour=16&min=0&sec=0&p1=207&p2=204 2009-04-01 16:00 UTC]
