[Restrospection] Fedora QA Global Onboarding Call 2017-06-03

Retrospection


We had a Fedora QA onboarding on 2017-06-03 and it was successful the Agenda and the Feedback can be found on this etherpad. People from different countries and regions found the call useful.

Few changes which made things better

1. Using bluejeans was smooth and better than Hangouts.
2. Starting the doodle 2 weeks before the call and giving enough time to vote.
3. Using a bunch of quick links as reference points and then explaining.

Action Items

1. Consistency is the key to success , doing the onboarding call every 2 months will be more engaging. Also , it gives a sense of assurance to the new contributors to simply plug themselves up in one of these calls and start from there even if they miss one , they would still be able to contribute to the release cycle. The proposal is to create a wiki page and link it up to Fedora QA Join where people will benefit from it.

2. Feedback , FAQ ,Quick Links, Logs and recordings should be marked and kept in a wiki page which will constantly tell us where we need improvement and maybe answer few general questions for new contributors.

Proposed Timeline

After Branched

This is the time we generally plan for the test days and start off with pre-alpha testing.Onboarding call during this time will help us gather community ideas by which we can drive the test day planning and if someone wants to run a test day then we can help them plan accordingly.


Before Beta

After the alpha , we are mostly in a phase we have the test days happening , blocker bugs being filed and lot of test coverage (rel-val) needs to happen during
this stage , having an on boarding call at this time will help in the new contributors to work on something specific which is aligned to our goals. This will be a place where we can have more and more people participating and help us testing the iso and features in test days.



Before Final
 
This is a good time as we are done with most of the test days as a part of change set , we can conduct a few more test namely the system upgrade test day and the kernel test day. This call will help us testing on most of the off-the-shelf-hardware and ensure that whole band of hardwares are tested. This is also the time where we need most validation to be done most of the architecture , hence will help us keep the contributors engaged.

Rocket on Fedora

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
