Reminder: today is GNOME 3 Test Day #2
Adam Williamson announced[1],
"Hi, everyone! Just a quick reminder that today is the second Test Day for GNOME 3:[2] . Please do come along and help with testing if you can. We're having trouble with the 32-bit live image, but a 64-bit image is available now and all the test instructions are in place. We'll be in #fedora-test-day on IRC all day long to help out with testing, so come along and join us there. Thanks a lot! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net"
Fedora Events
The purpose of event is to build a global Fedora events calendar, and to identify responsible Ambassadors for each event. The event page is laid out by quarter and by region. Please maintain the layout, as it is crucial for budget planning. Events can be added to this page whether or not they have an Ambassador owner. Events without an owner are not eligible for funding, but being listed allows any Ambassador to take ownership of the event and make it eligible for funding. In plain words, Fedora events are the exclusive and source of marketing, learning and meeting all the fellow community people around you. So, please mark your agenda with the following events to consider attending or volunteering near you!

- North America (NA)[1]
- Central & South America (LATAM): [2]
