jlaska welcome adamw tflink StylusEater 15:01
* adamw falls to knees, clutches head and screams at sky 15:01
tflink jlaska: another >4hr meeting? Sounds awesome :-/ 15:01
adamw NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 15:01
jlaska  :P 15:01

tflink jlaska: says the guy who disappeared for an hour last time :-P 15:02
jlaska tflink: busted :) 15:03
jlaska okay, let's get moving ... 15:03
jlaska #topic Previous meeting follow-up 15:03
jlaska This is pretty tame ... the only item I had on the list was Adamw noted he would followup on the virt test day prep 15:03
jlaska and it seems like that happened, so thanks adamw 15:03
adamw yeah, justin said he had it all under control and he did 15:04
jlaska Speaking of ... rhe did some nice work re-organizing the test cases on the wiki 15:04
* jskladan is here 15:04
jlaska hi jskladan 15:04
jlaska I haven't heard back on the event yet, but seems like we did have participation. It feels like it was more than previous virt events, but I don't have data to compare yet 15:05
jlaska anyway ... that's all I had from last week 15:05
jlaska anything else before we move on? 15:05
jlaska #topic F-15-Beta status 15:05
jlaska So, this will be short and sweet :) 15:06
jlaska #link http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test-announce/2011-April/000226.html 15:06
jlaska The Beta was declared GOLD last week, and should be hitting mirrors starting tomorrow I believe 15:06
tflink there is a pending change to the pre-release download page, too 15:06
jlaska Just a few reminder links for folks as we triage incoming issues ... 15:07
jlaska #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F15_bugs 15:07
jlaska #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_15_QA_Retrospective 15:07
tflink that will direct people to #fedora-qa or test@ for support on the beta 15:07
adamw i've pretty much done commonbugs 15:07
jlaska adamw: I saw that ... amazing work 15:07
adamw all the alpha issues are 'tagged' for easy removal when the beta hits 15:07
adamw if anyone can think of any bugs that should be called out there...do add them or tag the bug with the commonbugs keyword 15:07
jlaska there was one CLOSED anaconda bug I'm going to add to the list, since it will not be fixed until F16 15:08
adamw nice 15:08
tflink so we may have an increase in the number of common questions that might have otherwise gone to #fedora 15:08
jlaska tflink: good point, thanks for the heads up 15:08
jlaska anything we need to consider or do differently to handle these questions? 15:08
jlaska or just be mindful and try to point folks to the right places? 15:09
StylusEater is the "infamously" flamed RAID/mdadm bug fixed? :-) 15:09
tflink I can't think of anything other than being patient and aware of the possible influx of new people 15:09
adamw StylusEater: not sure what bug you mean. 15:09
jlaska StylusEater: apparently it wasn't that infamous :) 15:09
adamw StylusEater: if you mean the one discussed on devel, then as soon as you do an update, you'll get a fixed mdadm. 15:09
StylusEater adamw: yes that is the one. 15:10
jlaska ah that thread :) 15:10
jlaska #694958 I think 15:11
jlaska anyway, so that's all I had on F-15-Beta 15:11
jlaska thanks tflink for the reminder about new testers arriving in a channel near us soon 15:11
tflink jlaska: np 15:11
jlaska We already have a good list of F15 QA retrospective topics on the wiki ... please drop notes there for things that worked well, or poorly 15:11
jlaska If nothing else on the Beta, I'll move on 15:12
jlaska #topic Upcoming QA events 15:12
jlaska #info Thursday, April 21 - GNOME3 Test Day #3 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-04-21_GNOME3_Final 15:12
jlaska coming this Thursday, the last of the GNOME3 test days 15:13
jlaska vhumpa: how's the prep work going? 15:13
vhumpa Yes - the page is moreorless coming to its final looks now - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-04-21_GNOME3_Final 15:13
adamw this time we have managed to avoid an upstream release week, but have hit with ninja-like precision the week in which mclasen is on vacation 15:13
vhumpa We have reorganized the test cases as you can see, basically - the issues that were part of the "second" table to go first together with the most problematic issues 15:14
jlaska adamw: doh! Is there someone (or a group of people) who are available in his place? 15:14
* StylusEater raises hand 15:14
adamw yeah, caillon will probably be around, maybe a few others. 15:14
jlaska cool 15:14
jlaska StylusEater: what's up? 15:14
adamw StylusEater: we mean 'people from the desktop team' :) 15:14
jlaska ah 15:15
adamw vhumpa: the 'workspaces' test case seems to be missing? 15:15
StylusEater jlaska: I am editing the wiki and was wondering if QA is considered a SIG or a formal project? 15:15
vhumpa adamw: yes, I still have to write that one :) 15:15
jsmith StylusEater: My own opinion is that it's a formal project, although I'm not sure it's ever been documented as such 15:16
vhumpa It's pretty much only idea for a new test case I got together with rlat from desktop team 15:16
jlaska StylusEater: as jsmith notes, I'm not sure if it's ever been defined 15:17
vhumpa adamw: It was covered a little bit in "dash" before, but we deem it deserves it's own better test case since multiple desktops has changed singnificantly 15:17
adamw vhumpa: sounds good 15:17
StylusEater jlaska: OK I see a bunch of "suggestions" not to add something that isn't a formal project to certain pages. I'm editing the wiki and asking this question b/c QA wasn't super easy to find until I scrolled/searched. 15:17
adamw nice catch 15:17
jlaska StylusEater: if you like, we can talk more about that in open-discussion shortly 15:18
StylusEater jlaska: noted. sorry for interrupting. 15:18
jlaska how are we set for announcements for the test day 15:19
jlaska StylusEater: no worries at all 15:19
vhumpa adamw: I won't be available until wednesday, so if you have any ideas/comments please let me know and I will implement them as soon as I hit office again 15:19
adamw vhumpa: i just threw you an email with a couple of minor notes, but mostly it looks great 15:19
adamw do you have a plan for announcements, or shall I do it? if you're not going to be around till wed maybe best if i do it 15:20
vhumpa adamw: I see it, thanks 15:20
jlaska anything different we need to do with the announcements, or the usual fedoraplanet and test-announce? 15:21
adamw i do more for these 15:21
adamw they go out to phoronix, lwn, distrowatch and stuff 15:21
jlaska ooh, nice 15:21
adamw for this one i might go nuts and try and get it on slashdot, which would be fun 15:21
jlaska I'd say 15:22
adamw (since it's 3.0 final) 15:22
jlaska adamw: do you want help with those announcements? 15:22
adamw not really, it's mostly just cut-n-paste 15:22
adamw and the mighty power of CC: 15:22
jlaska heh 15:23
jlaska alrighty 15:23
jlaska nice work vhumpa and adamw ... this will be another fun test day 15:23
jlaska #info Thursday, April 28 - Cloud SIG Test Day - http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/169 15:23
tflink I pinged the cloud SIG list last week but still haven't heard anything back from them directly 15:24
jlaska tflink: thank you for doing that 15:24
tflink looking through the meetbot logs from their meeting last friday, it looks like they are planning to have EC2 beta AMI images ready early this week 15:24
jlaska oh, would those then be used for the test day? 15:24
tflink there don't seem to be any concrete plans for the test day, but boxgrinder was mentioned 15:25
tflink jlaska: not sure, I think so though 15:25
tflink I'm planning to step up my level of being a pest later today 15:25
jlaska hah .. okay, thanks for staying on top of that 15:25
tflink so we can get started on some test cases etc. 15:26
jlaska tflink: I'm happy to take action items from you for test case work ... I'm curious how all this stuff works anyway 15:26
jlaska we can catch up during the week on that 15:26
jlaska That's all I had for upcoming QA events 15:26
tflink jlaska: there aren't really any test cases at the moment, but I'll gladly take you up on that if/when there are action items 15:26
jlaska #info Friday, April 22 - Blocker review marathon 15:27
jlaska tflink: roger 15:27
jlaska #topic Open discussion - <Your topic here> 15:27
jlaska okay, that's all I had on the agenda, anything folks wanted to discuss? 15:28
jlaska StylusEater: you mentioned something about QA as a SIG or a project? 15:28
StylusEater yes 15:28
StylusEater I read the guidelines and only the board can "anoint" QA as a formal project 15:28
StylusEater the reason my question came up is I wanted to edit the wiki and put QA under the project area 15:29
adamw well, our page describes QA as a project twice in the first line. "Welcome to the Fedora QA project page. Fedora QA is the project which covers all testing of the software that makes up Fedora." 15:29
adamw but i don't know any of the 'formal' crap. 15:29
StylusEater adamw: I read that too. 15:29
jlaska yeah, me neither 15:30
jlaska StylusEater: you want it listed on the left-nav side bar under sub-projects? 15:30
adamw since BugZappers is a sub-project of QA, though, it's quite odd the have BugZappers in that list and not QA> 15:30
StylusEater jlaska: yes among other places... 15:30
jlaska yeah, I would think we'd want the other way around 15:30
StylusEater adamw: yes. That is potentially confusing for n00bs. 15:31
jlaska StylusEater: is the process defined for how you get blessing from the board, is this just a matter of filing a ticket? 15:31
StylusEater jlaska: yes it is. One moment, let me find the link. 15:31
adamw and where's the Official List Of Board-Blessed Projects? 15:31
StylusEater https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DefiningProjects 15:31
StylusEater jlaska: basically it requires administrative stuff like reporting so the board can judge the long-term sustainability of the "project" 15:32
StylusEater adamw: I believe here... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects 15:33
jlaska I have no idea what tasks/activities aren't currently done in QA, that would need to happen to get "project" status 15:34
adamw the sub-projects list already isn't a 1-to-1 map of that list. but cool, thanks for digging this out 15:34
jlaska so, where to go from here? Is this worth a mail to advisory-board@ to figure out what is needed to get blessing? 15:35
adamw probably. 15:36
adamw or a ticket would be better. 15:36
StylusEater adamw: yw 15:36
StylusEater QA is important so I figured I'd bring it up. 15:36
jlaska well, that's the easy part, I can ask the dumb questions at least 15:36
jlaska assuming this is just some wiki updates, this should be straight forward. Otherwise, we'll review any process gaps and decide how to proceed 15:37
adamw i can do it too, either way is fine 15:37
jlaska #action jlaska reach out to advisory-board@ for guidance on becoming an official project 15:38
jlaska adamw: I don't mind either 15:38
adamw you go for it then 15:38
jlaska StylusEater: thanks for raising this topic 15:38
StylusEater jlaska: yw 15:39
jlaska #info StylusEater asked whether QA was a project or a SIG 15:39
jlaska Anything else for Open-discussion 15:39
jlaska  ? 15:39
jlaska otherwise, I think many of us are meeting'd out 15:39
jlaska  :) 15:39
jlaska okay, let's set the fuse for 1 minute 15:40
jlaska #topic Open discussion - last call 15:40
jlaska 10 seconds ... 15:41
jlaska Thanks for your time everyone 15:41
jlaska I'll send minutes to the list this afternoon 15:41
jlaska #endmeeting 15:41
