Test Days

Thursday 2011-04-21 was the last of three GNOME 3 Test Days[1]. The event went off smoothly with a good turnout of testers finding the GNOME 3 experience mostly polished but still exposing several bugs for the developers to work on. Vitezslav Humpa posted a recap[2] of the event.

Today, 2011-04-28, is cloud Test Day, where the cloud SIG is guiding testers in running Fedora 15 on Amazon's EC2 cloud, and testing out the Fedora 15 features BoxGrinder[3] (a tool designed to make it simple to rapidly create Fedora-based appliances and deploy them to various virtual platforms) and CloudFS[4] (a cloud-ready distributed filesystem). If you're interested in the cutting (bleeding?) edge of cloud development with Fedora, come and dive in to the BoxGrinder[5] and EC2[6] events!

The cloud events will likely be the final Test Days of the Fedora 15 cycle, as we move towards final freeze and the focus on stabilizing the release.

Beta testing

Many group members were testing the recently-released Fedora 15 Beta. Sean Darcy was having trouble with preupgrade[1], while Göran Uddeborg wondered where his system beep had gone[2]. Per Bothner was having trouble with his NVIDIA adapter[3], and Andre Robatino filed a bug[4] on an issue several testers had noted where enabling session saving could cause GNOME Shell to fail to start[5]. John Morris reported several issues he ran into[6], prompting responses explaining some of them. Thomas Gilliard continued to test Sugar nightly images[7] [8].

Fedora 15 preparation

The second blocker bug review meeting for Fedora 15 final took place on Thursday 2011-04-21[1], due to the Good Friday holiday falling in many places on 2011-04-22. The group reviewed the full list of proposed and accepted final release blockers and made good progress. The first Test Compose for Fedora 15 is planned for 2011-05-02.
