15:02:23 <damNageHack> hi
15:02:27 <jlaska> damNageHack: hello :)
15:02:34 <jlaska> wwoods: adamw: you guys around?
15:03:22 <jlaska> I don't think this time slot works great for maxamillion, but lemme check ...
15:04:29 <jlaska> I've got a conflict @ the half hour increment ... so let's get started
15:04:59 <jlaska> if we run over, I may need help closing out the proposed agenda items
15:05:08 <jlaska> Proposed agenda - http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-April/090413.html
15:05:13 <jlaska> #topic Previous meeting follow-up
15:05:39 <jlaska> #info jlaska + fenris02 to review whether F-13-Beta is an option for boot.fedoraproject.org
15:05:56 <jlaska> This was easy, thanks to the infrastructure team ... boot.fp.org should already have links to Fedora 13 beta
15:06:07 <jlaska> #info Completed by the infrastructure team, yay infrastructure!
15:06:16 <jlaska> #info adamw + jlaska - Bodhi QA workflow status check-in
15:06:18 <kparal> jlaska: is it necessary to re-download the images?
15:07:02 <jlaska> kparal: good question ... I tested by downloading the images
15:07:20 <jlaska> so I don't know if the configs are pulled from the server, or are on the media
15:08:14 <kparal> ok
15:08:21 * kparal will test some day
15:08:31 <jlaska> kparal: that'll likely need a follow-up to #fedora-admin for guidance, I'm not sure
15:09:05 <jlaska> adamw and I spoke w/ lmacken last week, he is working to organize a lot of TRAC tickets into a bodhi-2.0 milestone
15:09:20 <jlaska> and expected to have that finished out in the next few weeks
15:09:24 <jlaska> bodhi-2.0 milestone - https://fedorahosted.org/bodhi/milestone/2.0
15:09:51 <jlaska> Some initial requirements gathering will also take place in the coming weeks
15:10:33 <jlaska> my understanding is this will be helpful for us so we can coordinate AutoQA dependencies and document/educate 'proventesters' on the QA workflow through bodhi
15:10:52 <jlaska> we had several other follow-up items, but I've moved those into specific topics below ...
15:11:00 <jlaska> so I'll dive in, unless anyone has other thoughts
15:11:50 * Viking-Ice sneaks in a bit late..
15:11:55 <jlaska> Viking-Ice: welcome!
15:11:57 <jlaska> #topic Fedora 13 RC test status
15:12:20 <jlaska> #info the current deliverable I'm working on is the Pre-RC Branched Acceptance Test Run
15:12:41 <jlaska> a new anaconda was built, and given proper karma in bodhi to be available for Branched testing
15:13:02 <jlaska> it's an unusual worflow to run through an acceptanc test, but that's hopefully something we can work out post F-13
15:13:14 <jlaska> the Friday Branched compose failed to build due to deps, but it looks like things are okay today
15:13:20 <jlaska> I'll be posting a test summary to the list later this afternoon
15:14:00 <jlaska> #info there was a F13Blocker review last week - see http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2010-04-23/fedora-bugzappers.2010-04-23-16.06.html
15:14:24 <jlaska> We can expect the following milestones this week ...
15:14:33 <jlaska> #info 2010-04-29 - Test 'Final' Test Compose
15:14:50 <jlaska> #info 2010-04-29 - PreUpgrade test day - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-04-29_Preupgrade
15:15:00 <jlaska> #info 2010-04-30 - Final Blocker Meeting (f13blocker) #3
15:15:32 <jlaska> In other F-13 testing news, there have been some i18n test considerations under discussion
15:15:49 <jlaska> you may have see this already from a ticket mail to test@
15:16:02 <damNageHack> how is a release critical bug marked in bugzilla?
15:16:23 <jlaska> damNageHack: to mark a bug as a release blocker, you add the blocks: F13Blocker
15:16:38 <jlaska> damNageHack: and add a quick statement indicating what release criteria are impacted by the bug
15:16:57 <damNageHack> k thx. i will not do such a thing. only for my information :)
15:17:19 <jlaska> damNageHack: no worries, folks are encouraged to escalate issues of concern
15:17:39 <jlaska> we've documented what are considered the most common release criteria at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Final_Release_Criteria
15:17:43 <damNageHack> i am thinking of the bug with gtk2 v2.19/2.20 + thunar/pcmanfm
15:17:51 <kparal> damNageHack: current blocker list is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=507681&hide_resolved=1
15:18:03 <jlaska> however, there are always cases where bugs don't fit a criteria ... feel free to raise those issues on the mailing list, or #fedora-qa
15:18:23 <damNageHack> k tx
15:18:56 <jlaska> So lastly, if anyone wants to contribute to additional i18n tests  ... feel free to add your thoughts to https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/63
15:18:58 <damNageHack> i can see a lot of still open bugs :)
15:19:11 <jlaska> damNageHack: 18 non-MODIFIED bugs ... we have a lot of testing MODIFIED and ON_QA bugs to do
15:19:23 <jlaska> okay ... next agenda item ...
15:19:40 <damNageHack> i am sure, it can be done
15:20:02 <damNageHack> fedora has a high quality, i like that :)
15:20:28 <jlaska> damNageHack: glad to hear, we only get that because people contribute time to make it better ... so thank you! :)
15:20:33 <jlaska> #topic Proventesters check-in
15:20:47 <jlaska> We had 2 action items to follow-up on from last week
15:20:54 <jlaska> looks like maxamillion completed both of them
15:21:22 <jlaska> #info maxamillion - sent Proventester draft to test@l.fp.org for final review (see http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-April/090252.html)
15:21:42 <jlaska> #info maxamillion requested creation of proventester FAS group (see https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2114)
15:21:48 <jlaska> thanks maxamillion! :)
15:22:00 <jlaska> he's not around right now, but I was going to ask the obvious ...
15:22:07 <jlaska> what's next?
15:22:27 <kparal> now to populate the group
15:22:40 <jlaska> yeah, is it time to request applications to the group?
15:22:50 <jlaska> do we know how to evaluate and mentor applicants?
15:23:25 <jlaska> Has bodhi been changed to use 'proventester' FAS group, instead of 'qa' for critpath updates?
15:23:47 <kparal> the mentoring process could be described, yes
15:23:57 <lmacken> jlaska: I have myself CC'd to the proventesters infrastructure ticket, but it's still not completed, from what I can tell
15:24:09 <lmacken> once it's done, changing it in bodhi will be trivial
15:24:12 <jeff_hann> jlaska: what are the qualities required for someone to become a proventester?
15:24:24 <jlaska> lmacken: is this the ticket to create the group, or to change bodhi to use proventester group?
15:24:37 <lmacken> jlaska: to create the group... once it's created, I'll change it in bodhi
15:25:05 <jlaska> lmacken: eggsellent, thank you!
15:25:26 <jlaska> #action current members of the 'qa' group ... apply to 'proventesters'
15:25:41 * jskladan needs to leave now. see you around, gang!
15:25:41 <jlaska> jeff_hann: kparal yeah good suggestions
15:25:45 <jlaska> jskladan: take care!
15:26:10 <jskladan> jlaska: thanks, will do my best
15:26:10 <jlaska> kparal: jeff_hann: I can take an action to follow-up w/ maxamillion after the meeting
15:26:32 * kparal brb in 2min
15:26:46 <jeff_hann> jlaska: a page where the exact criteria needed would be useful
15:26:57 <jlaska> jeff_hann: yeah I agree
15:27:13 <jlaska> I believe we started that page a few weeks back, but that might just need to be refreshed
15:27:19 <jeff_hann> jlaska: and instructions as how/what to fill in TRAC
15:27:25 <jlaska> #info a page where exact criteria needed for proventesters would be useful
15:27:34 <jlaska> jeff_hann: in TRAC?
15:27:40 <jlaska> jeff_hann: oh for applying to the group?
15:27:49 <jeff_hann> jeff_hann: yeah
15:27:58 <jlaska> #info provide a TRAC ticket template for mentor requests
15:28:22 <jlaska> #action jlaska to follow-up w/ maxamillion after meeting
15:28:54 <jlaska> for any other ideas that come to folks, please feel free to reply to the meeting minutes I send out
15:28:58 <jlaska> next topic ...
15:29:00 <jlaska> #topic Package Acceptance Test Plan check-in
15:29:01 <jeff_hann> jlaska: of course, I would like to join the proventesters group; been slackin' recently.
15:29:09 * kparal back
15:29:21 <jlaska> kparal: hey, do you want to give an update on this topic?
15:29:25 <kparal> sure
15:29:33 <jlaska> #chair kparal
15:29:33 <zodbot> Current chairs: jlaska kparal
15:29:41 <kparal> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Kparal/Proposal:Package_update_acceptance_test_plan
15:30:03 <kparal> so, I posted a few last questions about the test plan and a call for comments
15:30:25 <kparal> #link http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-April/090287.html
15:30:48 <jlaska> kparal: thanks for picking that back up ... I think I've got a few UNREAD's to read still on that thread
15:30:57 <kparal> from discussion with jlaska and jkeating I changed a few definitions
15:31:03 <kparal> so thanks for all comments
15:31:21 <kparal> I believe the test plan should be final now
15:31:22 * jlaska loves your test categories
15:31:27 <kparal> if no more comments come
15:31:32 <jlaska> mandatory, introspection, advisory :)
15:31:51 <kparal> one remaining item is to create separate wiki page for each test case
15:32:10 <kparal> #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/62
15:32:25 <kparal> and we can start to just implement it :)
15:32:47 <kparal> alright, that would be it, I believe
15:32:47 <jlaska> yay!
15:33:01 <jlaska> kparal: thanks for the updates ... anything you'd like to track here for next week?
15:33:33 <kparal> nope, I would say it's complete (nearly) :)
15:33:41 <jlaska> awesome, nice work
15:33:54 <jlaska> okay, the next planned topic I had was for AutoQA
15:34:03 <jlaska> but we're low on AutoQA folks today
15:34:09 <jlaska> #topic AutoQA update
15:34:16 <jlaska> kparal: anything you'd like to note for this week?
15:34:19 <kparal> I can say a few words for jskladan
15:34:26 <jlaska> kparal: great, please go for it!
15:34:32 <kparal> he created a test suite for resultdb API
15:34:45 <kparal> and made some first draft of implementing the API
15:35:04 <kparal> and of course the test suite failed, so he's now deep in solving the issues :)
15:35:37 <kparal> but we could have some first attempts for API implementation soon
15:35:53 <kparal> at least from what I caught
15:36:34 <kparal> ok, as for other topics, no big development that I know of
15:36:58 <kparal> so, let's move it to open discussion
15:37:09 <kparal> #topic Open Floor
15:37:21 <kparal> do you have anything you want to discuss today?
15:39:05 <kparal> how it happens that when I'm the chairman the meeting is always so fast? :)
15:40:03 <kparal> ok, last minute and then I'll end the meeting
15:40:09 <jeff_hann> kparal: today there only few attendees
15:40:16 <jeff_hann> *there are
15:40:31 <kparal> jeff_hann: I see. everyone on holiday or something :)
15:40:39 <jlaska> kparal: you're much better at moving the meeting along than I am! :D
15:41:21 * jlaska has mollases fingers
15:41:43 <kparal> ok, so thanks everyone for comming in, have a nice day!
15:41:51 <kparal> #endmeeting
