Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

  3. It even did not start downloading packages printing:

    "File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 687, in userconfirm

    choice = raw_input(_('Is this ok [y/N]: '))

    UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters...".
