"sumantro to check in with design team and make
sure wallpapers will be available in time for Beta and Final" -
sumantro says he did this, and they promised they'll be in shape
this time(adamw,
15:10:47)
"sumantro to send out reminder about LxQT test
day" - he did that, and the event has concluded(adamw,
15:11:23)
"sumantro to contact i18n team to make sure
their regular test days are being planned, and atomic/cloud team" -
he definitely checked in with g11n team and they're on the same
page, not sure about atomic/cloud(adamw,
15:11:50)
Beta freeze is at 00:00 UTC tonight (00:00 on
2017-09-05)(adamw,

currently composes are succeeding, but with one
major bug - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1487856
prevents all UEFI installs from booting properly - and several other
blocker bugs (e.g. FreeIPA issues)(adamw,
15:20:32)
further testing beyond openQA may have been
hampered by the frequent compose failures and broken composes till
now(adamw,
15:21:57)
for now, the planned schedule still holds,
which means we need to do a lot of testing to get up to the Beta
criteria by Beta go/no-go on 2017-09-14(adamw,

new upstream kernel releases are pushed into
stable Fedora releases, at present. This can be a source of
regressions(adamw,
15:42:10)
Plan is to run a Test Day event for each new
kernel release to try and identify and fix problems before they get
out into the stable releases(adamw,
15:42:42)
sumantro will be co-ordinating this with the
kernel team, the Test Day will involve running the kernel test suite
(see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelTestingInitiative ) and
generally checking for issues(adamw,
15:43:33)
sumantro says that many of the newer folks he's
mentoring see this meeting as more of an administrative/discussion
meeting, and don't really want to jump in with practical questions
etc.(adamw,
15:48:07)
so he proposes having a regular meeting (I
think the idea was monthly) focused on practical testing activity,
selecting specific things that need testing at the time and focusing
on those(adamw,
