Desktop validation testing: round 1 coming soon!

Hi, folks. Further to my earlier email about desktop validation testing for Fedora 14, here's a note - or a reminder, if you knew already! - that our first manual test point for the F14 cycle is due on Thursday, with the Alpha 'Test Compose' (it's a sort of early-warning test build that gives us some time to sort out any major kinks before we start building Alpha RCs). When the build is up, Rui He or I will send or forward you the official announcement, with links to the results matrix and downloads and so forth. This is just a heads-up so you know it's coming soon. It's probably worth doing a quick check of Rawhide to see if there's any huge problems with your desktops which would make the TC completely untestable, and if so, get 'em fixed before we build it :). You can get nightly live builds at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ if you want to check quickly without installing Rawhide, though there've been some bugs lately which broke the booting of live images, so they _may_ still be unbootable. The nightlies are built and uploaded automatically, and there are KDE, Xfce and LXDE builds there.
