QA’s contribution to this year’s outbreak of April Fool’s japery is the hilarious announcement that Fedora 13 Beta will be delayed by a week. No, wait – it’s not a joke, it’s sad, soul-crushing reality! Wasn’t that fun? Unfortunately we were behind the curve with the generation of candidate builds throughout the Beta cycle (the [...]
Fedora 13 Beta is due to come out soon, with a following wind, and the QA group is already hard at work testing candidate builds. The first test compose is available, and the installation validation and desktop validation test matrices are up already; you can find information on those pages on getting the test compose [...]
Just passing along this announcement from Tim Waugh, who’s done a great job organizing this event! Mandriva readers – if I still have any – in particular may want to come along to this event, as Mandriva uses system-config-printer: everything we improve through this Test Day will benefit Mandriva as well as Fedora.

So here’s some quick news. We have the first blocker review meeting for Fedora 13 Beta tomorrow, at 16:00 UTC – 11am EST, 8am PST. That’s in #fedora-bugzappers on Freenode IRC. As always, the more people the better, come along and share your wisdom! Especially if you have any potential blocker bugs to share. There’s [...]
It’s Test Day time again! This Thursday, 2010-03-11, is webcam Test Day. It’s really pretty simple: if you have a webcam we want you to boot up a recent Fedora and check if it works. There’s detailed instructions on the Wiki page but that’s really what it boils down to – fire up your webcam, [...]
Yes, it’s not big, it’s clever, but it *is* very funny. From the Guardian’s comment section: MikeCawood wrote: ‘”Global warming” is simply a device used by Labour as a scam to screw more taxes out of the British population.
