[Testdays] Call for Fedora Linux 41 testing events
by Sumantro Mukherjee 13 May '24

13 May '24

Hi Fedora users, developers, and friends! It's time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 41. For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results, with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it doesn't have to be code, for instance, we often run Test Days for l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days . Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that the QA group helps you out with organization or any combination of the two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in fedora-qa pagure - here's an example https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issue/624 . For instructions on hosting a Test Day, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management . You can see the schedule at https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/issues?tags=test+days . There are many slots open right now. Consider the development schedule, though, in deciding when you want to run your Test Day - for some topics you may want to avoid the time before the Beta release or the time after the feature freeze or the Final Freeze. We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a Test Day in a specific time frame due to the development schedule, but the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or time frame you'd like, and we'll figure it out from there. If you don't want to run your own Test Day, but you are willing to help with another, feel free to join one or more of already accepted Test Days: GNOME Test Day* i18n Test Day* Kernel Test Week(s)* Upgrade Test Day* IoT Test Week* Cloud Test Day* Fedora CoreOS Test Week* And don't be afraid, there are a lot of more slots available for your own Test Day! [*] These are the test days we run generally to make sure everything is working fine, the dates get announced as we move into the release cycle. If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't hesitate to contact me or any member of the Fedora QA team on test at lists.fedoraproject.org or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks! -- //sumantro Fedora QE TRIED AND PERSONALLY TESTED, ERGO TRUSTED

Use of ask.fp.o
by Eduard Lucena 13 May '21

13 May '21

Hi team, Well, here is the question, I love ask.fp.o, I think it is a great way to ask for help, but it looks to me like discussion.fp.o has parts where people is..., well, using it as ask.fp.o should be used. Look [1] and [2]. They look to me as questions for ask.fp.o. So maybe something is not well defined maybe? I think discussion.fp.o was more intended to be used like community communication, like a new kind of ML; but maybe I'm wrong. Wdyt?

Self-Introduction: Liu Zixi
by jetsaman＠tuta.io 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Hi, my name is Liu Zixi, and my Fas user name is "jetsaman". I often live in Liaoning, China and study here, but I often travel to Beijing during holidays. My IRC user name is jetsaman, although I'm exploring this im tool that doesn't work in China I learned about the huge community of Fedora through my friend "mengjuntezhangui" on the Internet. We are all users of Fedora for a long time . I have always been very interested in the marketing project of Fedora, but now I decide to officially join it. To be honest, as a student, I don't have much experience in software development, but my future employment expectation has a lot to do with news report or writing, organization marketing, so I choose to join Fedora marketing project to make contribution. I once worked as an editor in oschina ("开源中国" in Chinese, a well-known open source community in China), contributing dozens of articles on the comparison, introduction or recommendation of different open source software; I also maintain my blog independently, and use my spare time to upload some articles about software recommendation and simple technology teaching; In addition, I have participated in some not very well-known projects, but it is not worth mentioning here Marketing skills: 1 - writing marketing advertisements that are easy to understand and suitable for my peers (students or university graduates who are slightly older than me) is one of my greatest strengths. 2 - writing wiki, I have led the editing of many pages of Wikipedia (although most of them are about current affairs) 3 - learn about the local (China) situation. Since I have been a full member of many domestic software communities and enthusiasts' forums, I know the domestic software platforms and large-scale forums very well Other skills: 1 - basic understanding of the operating system, although not very professional, but as a long-term user of Fedora, I really have to understand the principles of Fedora and even Linux. 2 - coordination and management. Although it seems that this has little to do with marketing, I would like to mention that now I am the manager of Baidu tieba (a substitute for discord in China) Fedora bar, which has about 17000 followers and 115000 posts. I'd also like to learn: 1 - from an international perspective, I want to know some marketing habits outside China as my future reserves. 2 - English communication skills, English is not my professional direction, but I think participating in marketing in Fedora can greatly improve my English ability. 3 - learning from team work experience What I expect from Fedora and myself: For Fedora: build a mature community of Fedora in China (I can't think I can build a mature community in a short time, but this is really an important direction, because many Fedora simplified Chinese communities are finally dissolved due to lack of vitality, so that many people can only discuss in QQ or wechat groups) For myself: achieve the goals above :-) In addition: maybe you will be confused about the words and grammar of this article, but English is not my native language, so I apologize to you, for letting you read such a non smooth self introduction.

Creation of new mailing list ch
by Patrick Vavrina 20 Feb '21

20 Feb '21

Hi Matthew, How are you? I would like a new mailing list for Swiss people to be created, in order to discuss about Fedora activities in Switzerland. As in Switzerland we have four national languages, it would be easier to reunite Swiss users in the same place. Indeed I am registered in fr-users list but the activities there concentrate the most of time in France: Fedora-fr and Borsalinux-fr. We could get the following mailing: ch-users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org . Thus this list won’t be linked to a particular language but to a country for local activities. What do you think about this proposal? Is this idea good? Thank you for your attention. Enjoy your weekend and stay safe! Kind regards, Patrick Fedora Ambassador in Switzerland patux(a)fedoraproject.org

Self-Introduction: Kamin Horvath
by Kamin Horvath 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

Is this list/group still active? Hopefully this isn't falling on deaf ears. Anyways, Hi all, my name is Kamin Horvath and I'm from Atlanta, GA. My FAS account name is khorvath, and you can probably find me on IRC or pretty much anywhere else as mohaas05. My skillset is perhaps a bit untraditional but hopefully in a good way. My background isn't in the tech industry at all - I'm a project manager for a mechanical contractor, and I've spend 5+ years in various roles in the industry. Part of my job includes as the title would suggest, managing the various skills and trades involved in construction/retrofit/replacement projects from start to finish. However, a large portion of my job is sales - identifying opportunities, meeting clients and developing relationships, helping them develop plans, etc. - and I believe that's where I can offer the most benefit to the Marketing team. I'd specifically love to be a part of whatever outreach efforts the Marketing team is involved in, as that's already a big part of what I do every day,, whether it be it in-person or virtual efforts. However, I'd be glad to help in writing or whatever other role is needed - especially since COVID has drastically changed everyone's priorities. I appreciate you all letting me get on my soapbox, and hope to work with you all soon. I've been a Fedora user since FC1, and I'm excited to finally be able to contribute back. Thanks, Kamin Horvath kamin(a)kghorvath.com

Fwd: [Sustain Open Source Forum] [👥 Working Groups] Marketing Working Group Kick-off
by Justin W. Flory (he/him) 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi Fedora Marketing list, Some great folks I know are organizing a cross-community working group about Open Source Marketing. There is a lot of knowledge and experience in this mailing list. It would be great to have a participant to rep the Fedora Community side of things. Thought I would pass along the opportunity since it is just getting started. - Justin -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Sustain Open Source Forum] [👥 Working Groups] Marketing Working Group Kick-off Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2020 01:37:01 +0000 From: Richard Littauer via Sustain Open Source Forum [RichardLitt] RichardLitt <https://discourse.sustainoss.org/u/richardlitt> Richard Littauer September 2 Marketing is super hard right now, for everyone. COVID has tightened a lot of belts, and going on Twitter is like going into the Fire Swamp. But people still have awesome projects that need funding, marketing, and sharing. I’d like to talk about how we do that, today, and to share resources and provide help for people who need it. This would be a continuation of the Marketing WG from the Sustain event in February, although it would be slightly changed due to the nature of the world. If you are at all interested in figuring out how to fund open source projects, I think this will be a really productive working group. Here’s the Doodle: https://doodle.com/poll/g74nn7hhi34c9n2u for next week. Please sign up with your free times! Our first task is to figure out how to have a productive discussion about marketing that has actual deliverables. I’m excited! Hopefully, see some of you soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Visit Topic <https://discourse.sustainoss.org/t/marketing-working-group-kick-off/464/1>

Introduction: Peter Lilley
by Peter Lilley 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

Hello Fedora Marketing team, I'm Peter Lilley; I live in Sydney, Australia. I've been using desktop Linux for a long time and recently have been hearing the call to contribute ;) My FAS username is "couchfox", which is a long-running joke between my wife and me. My particular skill set is marketing - I have 15+ years of marketing experience, always in B2B tech companies and with a specific passion for the cybersecurity space. I love using Fedora as my personal OS-of-choice, so I thought I would start here on the journey to, as they say, give something back. I have quite a bit of experience in tech marketing and was hoping to contribute in areas such as how-tos and other short-form or long-form writing. If you're interested, you can check out my professional profile on LinkedIn. I look forward to collaborating with you! ~peter
