15:01:59 * pwhalen is here
15:02:01 <adamw> satellit: did i point you at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1105720 btw? that's my bug for the welcome screen icon issue
15:02:25 <satellit> ok saw it on todays workstation (missing)
15:03:20 * brunowolff is lurking
15:03:24 * tflink is here
15:03:38 <adamw> that's quite enough lurking
15:03:45 * adamw proposes Anti-Lurking Ordinance
15:04:34 <tflink> we seem to be missing all of the brno folks
15:05:04 <tflink> brno fedora-qe folks, rather
15:05:14 * kparal here
15:05:41 <adamw> hi there
15:05:59 <adamw> welp, let's dive in - it's a light agenda this week anyhow
15:06:05 <adamw> shouldn't keep anyone from their first beer of the evening for too long :)
15:06:23 <adamw> did anyone have any agenda items i missed, btw?
15:06:37 <tflink> nothing I can think of, no
15:07:20 <kparal> not here
15:07:32 * roshi is here
15:08:17 <adamw> alrighty then
15:08:20 <adamw> #topic Fedora 21 status
15:08:44 <adamw> so folks have been doing a good job of running tests from the Rawhide validation matrices and filing bugs - many thanks to all for that
15:09:39 <adamw> #info there has been solid progress on Rawhide validation work, thanks to all
15:09:58 <kparal> we had a temporary help in michalv
15:10:19 <adamw> We currently have 8 proposed blocker bugs - if that gets up any higher we might want to run a review meeting, in case the accepted blocker count gets too high and we have to start poking devs...sound sensible?
15:10:31 <roshi> +1
15:10:37 <adamw> kparal: yup, and good to see pwhalen pitching in for ARM
15:11:13 <adamw> #agreed we will run a blocker review meeting if the blocker count gets much above 10, so we can keep control over the number of accepted blockers
15:11:31 <tflink> sounds good to me
15:11:33 <kparal> +1
15:11:36 <adamw> roshi: if i can ask...what's the plan for Test Days this cycle? have you been working on that?
15:11:42 <pwhalen> +1
15:12:09 <roshi> there was one person asking for infra hw for test days - but then he just kinda disappeared
15:12:38 <kparal> desktop qe reported some tickets and asked for test day schedule
15:12:44 <roshi> there are a couple tickets in for Alpha
15:12:47 <kparal> I think pschindl could handle that in this cycle
15:12:55 <roshi> haven't looked at them though
15:13:10 <adamw> OK
15:13:17 <adamw> i was expecting kind of a flood of them for new .next features
15:13:17 <roshi> last week felt like a short week, but I can look at them today and follow up on the couple tickets there are
15:13:21 <adamw> bit worrying if we're short
15:13:35 <adamw> roshi: maybe you and pschindl together?
15:13:38 <adamw> any other volunteers?
15:13:45 <roshi> that works for me
15:13:50 <brunowolff> Today's rawhide build (which hasn't finished yet) will include the mass rebuild, so when it finishes it will be a good time to upgrade to rawhide for testing day to day use.
15:14:14 <adamw> get the existing tickets turned into events, and maybe send out a follow-up call for test days...you can also go through the accepted Change list and reach out directly to owners of changes that look like they could do with a test day
15:14:18 <adamw> brunowolff: good call
15:14:42 <roshi> we can do that adamw
15:14:44 <adamw> #action roshi and pschindl to work through test day proposals and perhaps try to drum up some more .next Change test days
15:14:48 <adamw> awesome
15:14:57 <roshi> looks like 3 proposed in 2014 so far
15:15:23 <kparal> we finally have to deploy that fedocal -> wiki script, so that we have just a single place to manage test day schedule
15:15:30 * pwhalen needs to request a test day for ARM
15:15:35 <adamw> #info brunowolff points out that Rawhide mass rebuild will be in today's Rawhide compose, which marks a decent point to do some Rawhide testing - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide
15:15:41 <adamw> roshi: also check if you got any '
15:15:42 <kparal> the script should be working, written by lbrabec a few months ago
15:15:46 <roshi> the three we have for this year were looking for a time between alpha and beta
15:15:50 <adamw> 'unofficial' proposals as replies to the call for test days etc
15:15:59 <adamw> roshi: ah right, the desktop ones
15:16:18 <roshi> yeah - which is why I didn't look very hard at them since we don't know when alpha branch is actually going t obe
15:16:39 <adamw> you can start pulling the event together ahead of time, though, always good to be prepared - but yup, it's not urgent, just wanted to make sure it's on someone's agenda
15:16:50 <roshi> I'll dig through the mails as well
15:17:12 <adamw> you can just assign a date as a best guess to get it on the schedule, or just start working on the wiki page as an undated draft and move it later
15:17:34 <roshi> good point
15:18:20 <adamw> cool cool
15:18:44 <adamw> kparal: can you make sure roshi/pschindl are up to speed on that script?
15:19:10 <kparal> ok
15:19:27 <adamw> thanks
15:20:23 <adamw> alrighty...anything else for .next?
15:20:36 <adamw> i've been working on the Product release criteria, but that's mainly for the WGs not for us
15:20:42 <roshi> I'm trying to suss out what *exactly* cloud wants to test
15:20:55 <adamw> i'll try the get the Workstation criteria rolling this week, i think roshi is on cloud
15:21:01 <adamw> roshi: heh, always fun
15:21:26 <roshi> well, they keep talking about automated testing - but there currently isn't anything they have even scripted as far as testing goes
15:21:52 <roshi> so that bit is going to be pretty much from scratch
15:22:03 <roshi> afaict
15:22:30 <adamw> roshi: where have you been talking to them? in meetings? i don't see anything on the mailing list since may 29
15:22:35 <adamw> (or was it before that?)
15:22:44 <roshi> in meetings
15:22:50 <adamw> rgr, i'll have a look at logs
15:23:05 <roshi> I'm going to hit up the mailing list today looking for some info
15:23:15 <roshi> I've asked in irc a couple times but never got an answer
15:23:41 <adamw> if we need to be...robust in making it clear that they need to have a viable test plan in place for Alpha, with or without automated testing, let's do that...better than having a trainwreck later
15:24:02 <roshi> yup
15:24:10 <adamw> make sure they understand that until they have their automated testing *actually up and running* they need a viable plan for ensuring their bits work well enough manually
15:24:18 <adamw> cool cool
15:24:19 * roshi isn't a fan of train wrecks
15:24:22 <adamw> =)
15:24:38 <roshi> except maybe in movies
15:24:59 <adamw> which gives us a smooth segue into...
15:25:03 <adamw> #topic Taskotron status
15:25:09 <adamw> (damn, i'm on form this morning)
15:25:14 <adamw> how're we doing? :)
15:25:35 <tflink> things are moving along
15:25:47 <kparal> any news from the FAD?
15:25:58 <adamw> yeah, that sounded productive - though it seemed like a lot of work was on bodhi2
15:26:09 <tflink> yeah, a lot of the FAD was around bodhi2
15:26:22 <kparal> I read some reports on planet fedora, but they were mainly about bodhi2, not taskotron
15:26:52 <tflink> but we did get a plan to move qa infra stuff to being more directly managed by infra instead of in our own little fiefdom/world/whatever it is
15:27:08 <adamw> that sounds good, seems like a more efficient approach
15:27:12 <threebean> yeah, that was a plus.  :)
15:27:15 <tflink> it's going to take time but in the end, it will mean that I'll be less of a SPOF for infra stuff
15:27:19 <threebean> will hopefully take some load off of tflink
15:27:34 * tflink will be doing a blog post on the taskotron parts of the FAD today or tomorrow
15:27:46 <kparal> great, will read it
15:27:56 <adamw> awesomesauce
15:27:57 <tflink> we talked more about getting bodhi2 to display results from resultsdb instead of us posting comments
15:28:04 <threebean> we got some of the integration between resultsdb and bodhi figured out, at least in theory.
15:28:06 * threebean nodes
15:28:11 <threebean> jeez, *nods.
15:28:16 <adamw> that's always the easy part, right?
15:28:20 <adamw> ;)
15:28:43 <tflink> I requested a feature to assign bodhi ids to updates @ filing time instead of @ push time
15:28:49 <kparal> isn't using fedmsg easier to implement than querying resultsdb?
15:28:53 <adamw> is the plan to get all this done as part of primary taskotron deployment? or are we aiming to do initial taskotron deployment 'qa style', against bodhi1, using comments?
15:29:03 <tflink> kparal: if they duplicate results storage, sure
15:29:16 * threebean nods
15:29:18 <kparal> bodhi IDs at filing time would be really great
15:29:23 <tflink> adamw: the plan for initial deployment is a mostly drop-in replacement for autoqa
15:29:34 <tflink> bodhi comments and all
15:29:41 <threebean> but, I'm hoping to push bodhi to not store results... so that only resultsdb stores results (it's in the name..)
15:30:25 <tflink> whether we'll actually be able to do that for update gating or not is another question, though
15:30:39 <tflink> but that'll have to wait until we're in a better position to actually plan for that
15:30:45 <adamw> OK
15:31:04 <adamw> so are we still on track to be operational around branch time?
15:31:41 <tflink> outside of the FAD, our focus is on improving documentation, making sure that the base checks (rpmlint, depcheck, upgradepath) are ready and getting the system as a whole solid
15:31:59 <tflink> yeah, I don't know of anything that is likely to disrupt that plan
15:32:19 <adamw> cool.
15:32:38 <adamw> (except excessive numbers of meetings? :>)
15:32:48 <tflink> the current plan is to have taskotron production running the first week of july to get any kinks worked out
15:33:04 <tflink> then switch off autoqa right before branch
15:33:12 <adamw> #info taskotron deployment work continues and we remain on schedule for production by Branched date, further down the road we have plans for improved integration between taskotron and bodhi2
15:34:22 <adamw> tflink: did hadess talk to you about his need for automated open network port testing?
15:34:49 <tflink> adamw: yeah, it sounds do-able but we're mising some features in taskotron that would be needed to support the testing
15:35:09 <adamw> ah :/
15:35:20 <adamw> i was hoping it'd work nicely as an initial third-party test situation
15:35:29 <tflink> we haven't set our post-replacing-autoqa priorities yet, so I couldn't give him a definitive answer on when it could happen
15:35:33 <adamw> something by a known-good dev with a strong need for it (so it was unlikely to get abandoned)
15:35:47 <tflink> adamw: the problem is that the tests he wants to run really need disposable test clients
15:36:17 <adamw> ah, yeah, that testing does have a fairly strong need for a clean slate.
15:36:31 <tflink> I'm not keen on the idea of installing a bunch of rpms on whichever client that task happens to run on
15:37:26 <adamw> roger
15:37:33 <adamw> any other taskotron news?
15:37:44 <tflink> not that I can think of
15:39:26 <adamw> okelydokely
15:39:44 <adamw> moving on, then
15:39:46 <adamw> #topic open floor
15:39:51 <adamw> anyone have anything else?
15:40:22 <kparal> nothing here
15:40:25 * roshi can't think of anything
15:41:05 <adamw> .fire roshi insufficient thought levels
15:41:05 <zodbot> adamw fires roshi insufficient thought levels
15:41:51 <randomuser> I'd like to interject with an obligatory reminder that communicating things that could go in the release notes is helpful
15:41:57 <randomuser> ...so I did.
15:42:01 <roshi> once you reach negative thought levels, the universe seg faults and then you have ALL the thoughts
15:42:06 <roshi> it's all part of the plan
15:42:27 <adamw> a cunning one indeed
15:42:46 * tflink didn't realize that the universe was succeptible to heartbleed
15:42:56 <adamw> #info randomuser reminds us that we should communicate stuff we come across that ought to go into the next release's release notes - ping randomuser or the docs team via irc, email, or use bugzilla
15:43:18 <randomuser> thank you, adamw, well stated
15:45:14 <adamw> alrighty then, if there's nothing else
15:45:19 * adamw lights the Quantum Fuse
15:45:33 <adamw> that's not how you use a quantum fuse...universe explodes
15:46:05 <misc> i tought you first had to check if the quantum fuse was already set before setting it ?
15:46:15 <misc> (despites the risk of discovering it already exploded)
15:46:39 <adamw> misc: you might be right, or you might not.
15:48:27 <adamw> thanks folks! now back to your rss feeds^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hwork
15:48:27 <roshi> well, regardless versions of us will be around for all eventualities, right?
15:48:30 * randomuser observes the meeting is both ended and not ended, breaks causality
