"Hi, Fedorans. Please be informed that this week is Fedora Graphics Test
"Tomorrow the services at ibiblio will be moved to a new physical location
Week. Tuesday 2011-02-22 is Nouveau Test Day <ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-22_Nouveau</ref>, Wednesday 2011-02-23
is Radeon Test Day <ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-23_Radeon</ref> and Thursday 2011-02-24 is Intel (graphics) Test
Day<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-24_Intel</ref>.


Testing is very easy and can be done entirely with a live image, there's
* ibiblio01.fedoraproject.org
no need to install F15 or Rawhide; full instructions are available on
* app05
the Wiki pages. QA folks and graphics developers will be in
* backup02
#fedora-test-day during the events. These test days are super-important
* ns02
this release because we'll be checking out the support for GNOME Shell,
* proxy04
one of the major features of F15; we really need to get a good idea of
* smtp-mm03
the state of hardware support for the Shell, so PLEASE do come out and
* torrent01"
help test if you have any spare time this week! Also please help spread
the word anywhere you can - your local enthusiast community, any news
websites you know, particularly ones in non-English languages (as I'm
not great at covering those).


There's a longer write-up on my blog<ref>http://www.happyassassin.net/2011/02/20/its-graphics-test-week-again/</ref>. Please get in touch with me
<references/>
directly or the test mailing list if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks!"

====Alpha Release Notes Prep==== 
Zach Oglesby<ref>Zach Oglesby oglesbyzm at gmail.com</ref> on Sun Feb 20 18:54:43 UTC 2011 announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2011-February/000754.html</ref>,
"The docs team is preparing the Alpha release notes, we would like to
ask that developers check their feature pages<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/15/FeatureList</ref> to make sure it
contains the most up to date information. We use these pages to create
the release notes so it's important that the information is up to
date, and no one knows about developing features more than the
developers themselves. We appreciate your help and the time spent
making Fedora so great. Thanks!"

====Fedora 15 Alpha Go/No-Go Meeting Wednesday, February 23, 2011 @ 22:00 UTC==== 
Robyn Bergeron<ref>Robyn Bergeron rbergero at redhat.com</ref> on Mon Feb 21 20:22:01 UTC 2011 announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2011-February/000755.html</ref>,
"Join us on irc.freenode.net #fedora-meeting for this important meeting.
Wednesday, February 23, 2011 @22:00 UTC (17:00 EST/14:00 PST)
"Before each public release Development, QA and Release Engineering
meet to determine if the release criteria are met for a particular
release. This meeting is called the: Go/No-Go Meeting."
"Verifying that the Release criteria are met is the responsibility of
the QA Team."
For more details about this meeting see:
<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Go_No_Go_Meeting</ref>
In the meantime, keep an eye on the Fedora 15 Alpha Blocker list:
<ref>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=657616&hide_resolved=1</ref>
Talk to you Wednesday!"

====notification-daemon autostart changes==== 
Matthias Clasen<ref>Matthias Clasen mclasen at redhat.com</ref> on Tue Feb 22 03:51:32 UTC 2011 announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2011-February/000756.html</ref>,
"I'm going to build notification-daemon 0.7.1 as an F15 update; this
release changes the way the daemon is started.
In the past, it was bus activated on the session bus and exited after
some idle time. This was causing a race condition with gnome-shell
taking the same bus name at session start to support notifications.
Starting with 0.7.1, the notification daemon is no longer bus activated,
and does not exit on its own. Desktop environments that use it to
provide notifications have to ensure it gets started in some way;
gnome-session will start it as a required component of the fallback
session."

====Fedora 15 Alpha to slip by one week====
Robyn Bergeron<ref>Robyn Bergeron rbergero at redhat.com</ref> on Thu Feb 24 00:45:44 UTC 2011 announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2011-February/000759.html</ref>,
"Today at the Go/No-Go meeting<ref>http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2011-02-23/fedora-meeting.2011-02-23-22.00.html</ref> we decided to slip the Alpha by one week.
The slip is due to a blocker bug affecting a number of non-US keyboard
layouts, including German and French<ref>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676827</ref>, which does not currently have a
fix or a reasonable workaround.  All other blocker bugs are currently in
VERIFIED, or alternately, have workarounds documented in F15_Common_bugs.
At this time, we are not adjusting later milestone dates.
We will continue with the F15 Alpha readiness meeting tomorrow, as
previously announced on the logistics mailing list, and will have
another F15 Alpha Blocker Bug meeting Friday.
Thanks for your understanding.  We will meet again next week for another
GO/NO-GO meeting."
