Let me make sure I understand what you're saying. You want "Call for
test days" to start earlier in the cycle and the create test days task
to run until just before GA? So for example, if this was already
changed for F30, the timeline would look like this:

2018-10-23 Preferred F29 GA target
2018-10-30 Alternate F29 GA target
2018-11-20 Call for F30 test days
2018-11-27 Create F30 test days (start)
2019-04-23 Create F30 test days (end)

If that's not correct, can you please update my example timeline above?

Hey Ben,

Usually 2-3 weeks after the GA, we tend to go ahead and call for test days
which is an email going out to all the teams and subteams notfing that we
will
are accepting test day tickets for the upcoming release cycle.
We do have some fixed set of test day like GNOME, i18n , Cloud, Modularity,
Upgrade
which run at different points in time from pre-beta to final accompanied
with
the new changeset which needs testing.
We also have Kernel Test Day which is not realese bound and happens whever
a new
Kernel releases which is every 8-10 weeks. The  'Create Test Days' can
start off
after the Call for test days email is sent out and end about 2 weeks before
the rain date.

They probably don't. Most of this has carried on relatively unchanged
for years, which is part of why I'm doing this now.

You remember correctly. I can add a single link to any task on the
calendar. Just let me know what links you want added to what tasks and
I'll include those.

So a couple of notes:

It would be useful to have the branch date / Bodhi activation point on
the QA calendar, as that's an important date for us. It would similarly
also be useful to have the Change deadlines on there.

The 'call for test days' and 'create test days' dates look like they
don't match up with Sumantro's current practice; he can probably say
how those should be rearranged.

The 'blocker meeting' dates are also kinda outdated; these days we run
a blocker meeting any Monday we have enough bugs to review. Those can
just be taken out.

It would be good to have a 'Update blocker bug trackers' entry on the
release date; this is the point at which the process documented in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Trackers should
be done.

ISTR that in the past the entries in the schedule could be links
pointing to SOPs and so on. This would be really helpful. Am I
misremembering and we never had this feature? Or has it been lost?

QA team schedule tasks

2019-01-11 Thread Ben Cotton
I am beginning to prepare the schedule for Fedora 31. One thing I want
to do is to make sure it still accurately reflects the work of
different teams within Fedora. Please look at the tasks on your team's
schedule [1] and discuss them in your team. Let me know if there are
tasks that should be added, removed, or modified. You can email me
directly or file an issue in Pagure[2].

I ask that you please provide feedback by Friday, 18 January, although
I will be able to incorporate changes after that.
