Fedora QA Global Onboarding Call & Fedora QA sprint

By -
This was the first time, we pulled  (voice/video+text) onboarding session for Fedora QA . In the last couple of months,we have had a lots of news contributors who were sending out mails at "test" list. As the cog wheel of time rotated , we planned for a onboarding session . Contributors joined us from 6 countries with the sheer intention of making Fedora better. Thanks a ton Adamw and all the senior members , for dropping by and helping me host the Onboarding session.As we moved ahead with the sessions, we covered Release Validation , Update testing . Adam talked and showed us demo of how the audience can use easy-karma for Update testing. He also talked about Taskatron and Open QA in depth which helped the contributors have an understanding of "Automated Testing" .

Feed backs ranged from awesome to informative. The only thing , which needs working on is the limitation of Google Hangouts participants. We do need to find an hassle-free open source alternative which will not have the participant limit! 

The post meeting details and the resource shared during meeting has been summed up here.
              
                               
A full blown Fedora QA Onboarding session
Just after the Fedora QA Onboarding session , we started contributing to update testing and had a Fedora QA sprint for 10hrs.

10hrs of Fedora QA sprint
There were 7 people on site (RHT BLR office) and few from other places(remote). All of us enthusiastically participated in a 10 hr sprint .We tested about 1000+ (1063 to be exact) update testing for F23 and F24 and Release Validation on Fedora 25 Rawhide.                               

The detailed report can be found here

Going in near future , we planned to continue to meet and work together and contribute heavily to manual and automated testing.Open QA and Taskatron being the next steps , which we will be working on!



Thanks for the read and it was fun interacting with new people and working in a collaborative way !

This post is a very small example of how you can start creating small web apps with Rocket which extensively uses Rust under the hood. This post will just give an idea about how to get started if you are totally new to rust. Rocket is a web framework for Rust that makes it simple to write fast web applications without sacrificing flexibility or type safety . All with minimal code. - rocket.rs Getting started: Start by installing rust nightly on your system or virtual box: $ curl -sSf https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh -s -- --channel=nightly                  Setting up Project and Dependencies: Setting up the project is easy cas you can go ahead and execute cargo new hello-rocket --bin Once the execution is completes , you will have a binary application created with a Cargo.toml file and src dir with main.rs inside it. For setting up the dependencies you need to update the Cargo.toml file. Now,it's time to update the source main.rs f

Epilogue The GNOME Asia 2023 Summit, a key event in the open-source technology calendar, took place in Kathmandu, Nepal, from December 1 to 3, 2023. This conference is the premier annual event for the GNOME community in Asia, focusing on the GNOME desktop, applications, and development tools. The GNOME Foundation, which oversees this summit, aims to bring together various stakeholders, including users, developers, foundation leaders, government representatives, and businesses, to discuss present technologies and future developments. This iteration of the GNOME summit (as will be covered in the report) will have two parts, the community and the actual event proceedings.

Thursday 2017-04-06 will be Anaconda Blivet-GUI Test Day ! As part of this planned Change for Fedora 26, So this is an important Test Day! We'll be testing the new detailed bottom-up configuration screen has been long requested by users and inclusion of blivet-gui into Anaconda finally makes this a reality. On the other hand, it just adds a new option without changing the existing advanced storage configuration so users that prefer the top-down configuration can still use it. to see whether it's working well enough and catch any remaining issues. It's also pretty easy to join in: all you'll need is alpha 1.7 (which you can grab from the wiki page). Anaconda grew a rather important new option in F26: as well as the two existing partitioning choices (automatic, and the existing anaconda custom part interface) there's now a *third* choice.so now you can do custom partitioning with blivet-gui run within anaconda, as well as using anaconda's own interface
