Printing Test Day today (Tuesday 2013-11-05)
by Kamil Paral
The Printing Test Day for Fedora 20 is today.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-11-05_Printing
This test day is for testing all aspects of printing, including setting
up the printer, sharing printers on the network, and printing jobs.
The changes in Fedora 20 are relatively minor: switching to CUPS 1.7 and
Ghostscript 9.10, and some improvements to cups-filters and the
"Printers" part of GNOME Settings.
Remember that CUPS unit testing is only one small part of the story:
printing is very much in need of integration testing. Try printing with
different applications, using options you don't normally use in the
print dialog. Try to see how many different ways you can break it!
If you have access to a printer and a machine running Fedora 20 (a live
CD is fine), please join in! We'll be on IRC at the usual place:
irc://irc.freenode.net/fedora-test-day

Fedora 20 Beta Release Candidate 3 (RC3) Available Now!
by Andre Robatino
NOTE: The 64-bit Desktop Live, and the 32- and 64-bit Security Spins are
over their respective size targets.
As per the Fedora 20 schedule [1], Fedora 20 Beta Release Candidate 3
(RC3) is now available for testing. Content information, including
changes, can be found at
https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5787#comment:24 . Please see the
following pages for download links (including delta ISOs) and testing
instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the fastest
download, but download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is available as a mirror
(with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it, just
replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.
Installation:

Base:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test
Desktop:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test
Ideally, all Alpha and Beta priority test cases for Installation [2],
Base [3], and Desktop [4] should pass in order to meet the Beta Release
Criteria [5]. Help is available on #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net [6],
or on the test list [7].

2013-11-04 @ ** 16:00 UTC ** - Fedora QA Meeting
by Adam Williamson
# Fedora Quality Assurance Meeting
# Date: 2013-11-04
# Time: 16:00 UTC
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto)
# Location: #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net
Greetings testers!
It's meeting time again! Please note the time change to 1600 UTC: this
is due to the recent change to standard time in most countries, so the
local time of the meeting should be unchanged for most of us, but if
your country doesn't observe daylight savings or hasn't switched back to
standard time yet, it may be an hour later. We'll mostly be working on
getting Beta finalized, I expect!
This is a reminder of the upcoming QA meeting. Please add any topic
suggestions to the meeting wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20131104
The current proposed agenda is included below.
== Proposed Agenda Topics ==
1. Previous meeting follow-up
2. Fedora 20 Beta status
3. Open floor
