Color Management Test Day Thursday 2010-02-18
by Adam Williamson
It's Test Day time again!
This Thursday, 2010-02-18, will be Color Management Test Day[1]. There's
some exciting new color management features[2] in Fedora 13. That is to
say, there are color management features in Fedora 13! We've never had
any real color management in Fedora before, so this is great news for
photographers and designers in particular - but everybody, really.
The good news is testing for this Test Day is very easy - anyone with a
monitor can do most of the testing. A scanner, printer, webcam or
colorimeter let you do some other tests. You don't need a Rawhide
installation to do the testing, just a nightly live image[3] will do
fine, and the testing process is fully documented and won't take more
than a few minutes. So come out and help us test! Even if you don't use
Fedora, you can test very easily with a live image, and this is one of
those features that's popping up in Fedora first but will soon appear in
all distributions (as it'll be part of GNOME itself), so you'll be
helping your own distribution by testing.
The Test Day will run all day in Freenode IRC #fedora-test-day.

Desktop validation testing is go!
by Adam Williamson
Hey, desktop group. Some of you may be aware of some of the work going
on in Fedora 13 cycle to implement desktop validation testing. Well,
we're up and running!
The test compose for F13 Alpha is out -
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-February/088476.html
- and that's the first planned point for desktop validation testing. I
have the test cases and results matrix ready here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_13_Alpha_TC_Desktop_Test_Results
so if anyone feels like grabbing the TC, giving it a whirl, and helping
to fill out the results table, that'd be awesome. We (QA) will do some
testing too, but the more results the better, and it's always good to
have multiple people / groups involved. Hopefully the links above should
give you everything you need to know, let me know if anything seems
unclear! Thanks.

It does its own; I'd be on the hook for fixing it.

RE: The Discussion about Changes
by Hristo Petkov
In a reply to this:
_________________________________________________________________________
When Mike McGrath opened up Fedora Hosted, I think he specifically
made that point -- but ISTR it was more in the context of, "we don't
want to end up hosting a bunch of dead code." Sourceforge, AFAIK,
allows a project to live on indefinitely, whereas we thresh through
our hosted projects and, with prior notification to the maintainers,
release projects that are dead or unmaintained:
https://fedorahosted.org/web/terms
_________________________________________________________________________
I
would like to say that this is a very good view point, but the justification is different.
It is not the lifetime of a project but rather the user. People do not want to change that fast (as the developers of the Project would like to).
Actually people don't like to change at all, unless they are forced by the circumstances to do so. (In the past I have been a developer of expert systems and I know this for sure from personal experience).
In my view the lifecycle of the projects should be extended from 6 months to 2 years, and the maintenance term pro rate to this.
If the developers are willing to make gigantic steps - no problems. They may develop specialised versions with specific implementation and applications to users who are willing to pay for that.
It is just an opinion.

Then I guess it would have been in equally poor taste if it featured a
bunch of people with a big Fedora banner :p

RE: GIMP less 'gimpy'
by Hristo Petkov
Hi,
Just to ask: I found in the repository list of the OS on my PC (F11) these two:
- GIMP plugin for gutenprint
- Headers for developing programs in Gnome
Does anyone of you know whether they install to GIMP the CMS you are talking about.
