General ideas/discussion intended to ensure a successful [[Features/Gnome3|GNOME3]] release in Fedora 15.
This page will outline criteria for success for a Fedora AMI release

A ''successful'' GNOME3 and Fedora 15 release are defined as:
In addition to the existing [[Fedora Release Criteria]], the following criteria apply to EC2 Fedora images.  A <span style="color:green; font-weight:bold;">good</span> AMI '''must'''...

# offers a graceful fallback for the rest
# has working controls for common things like keyboards, monitors, network, sound and power
# all desktop applications work and any applications built against gtk3 ...
#* don't show status icons (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Guidelines/MessageTray/Compatibility)
#* use modal dialogs
#* install hi-res icon


= Open tasks =
To ''create'' an EC2 image, one needs...

# a python script to tell Amazon to build an instance
# the ability to SSH into a machine to run tests, etc.


# graceful fallback - code is needed to gracefully handle the following scenarios ...
= Open Questions =
#* Insufficient hardware - the system hardware is known to not handle gnome-shell, and fallback mode is recommended
# Who is responsible for creating and building EC2 images?
#* shell failure - The shell crashes or fails to start for an unknown reason, a suitable fallback should be offered instead

; How should multi-monitor support behave with GnomeShell in Fedora 15?
: Currently, GnomeShell just treats any additional monitors as extra space to put windows in but otherwise more or less ignores them.  When you go into overview mode, it only takes effect on one screen, the others are just left blank. There's nothing yet done to integrate the workspace model the Shell encourages with multi-monitor setups.  There's a bug for this, but again, AFAICT no particular commitment to fixing it up before the 3.0 release. (This isn't actually much of a 'regression' compared to GNOME 2, which was similarly lax about doing much with extra screens, but it's the sort of thing people might expect GNOME 3 to have fixed).

; What is the procedure to manually revert to fallback mode?

This page will outline criteria for success for a Fedora AMI release

Release Criteria

In addition to the existing Fedora Release Criteria, the following criteria apply to EC2 Fedora images. A good AMI must...

  1. allow non-root user login
  2. have SELinux enabled and enforcing by default
  3. not contain any package dependency problems
  4. not include any packages built outside of Fedora infrastructure

How to Test

To create an EC2 image, one needs...

  1. an amazon account
  2. the python-boto libraries installed
  3. a python script to tell Amazon to build an instance
  4. the ability to SSH into a machine to run tests, etc.

Open Questions

  1. Who is responsible for creating and building EC2 images?
