Test Days

Next week will be internationalization and localization test week, with three test days: desktop localization on Monday 2011-08-22[1], localization and internationalization in the installer on Wednesday 2011-08-24[2], and desktop internationalization on Friday 2011-08-26[3]. Fedora is used in many countries and many languages, so it's vital to make sure translations, keyboard layouts, input methods and so on are working well. There is also a significant new feature to test: GNOME input integration[4], which brings an integrated input method selector to the GNOME 3 desktop.

Fedora 16 Alpha preparation

The team began the week with validation testing on the Fedora 16 Alpha release candidates, with RC2 landing on 2011-08-09[1] and RC3 following soon after[2]. RC3 unfortunately proved still to contain several blocker bugs, and so at the Go / No-Go meeting of 2011-08-10[3], the release was delayed by one week. The team worked with the development group to prepare for an RC4 build.

Release criteria updates

Adam Williamson proposed modifying the release criteria and validation tests so that text-mode firstboot functionality would not be required[1].
