Here is an AI-generated summary of a Fedora Quality meeting [1] from
2025-08-18.
Please be aware that the summary is intended for a quick convenient
recapitulation of the meeting, but might contain factual errors. Read the
full meeting log for all the details.

#### Previous meeting follow-up

There were no follow-up items from the previous meeting.

#### Fedora 43 status

Fedora 43 is now Branched. The team has branched successfully, and the
focus will now shift to addressing blocker bugs. Community members are
encouraged to vote on proposed blocker bugs for the Beta [2] and Final [3]
releases, in accordance with the Fedora Release Criteria [4]. Blocker
meetings for bugs not resolved through voting will begin soon. Community
members can also contribute by testing and completing release validation
matrices. Test coverage can be viewed on the OpenQA testcase stats page [5].

A noteworthy problem was raised by Derek Enz, who reported that the aarch64
KDE image is failing to boot on the Raspberry Pi 4. Kamil Páral asked him
to file a bug report and propose it as a blocker, which he agreed to do.
Lukáš Růžička, who has been running Fedora 43 since the previous day, noted
that he has not encountered any serious issues.

#### Scope reduction discussion

The ongoing discussion on reducing the scope of the Quality team's work was
reviewed, with a summary available on the Fedora Discussion forum [6].

Three proposals have already been implemented:

  * Dropping the optical media boot release criterion.
  * Dropping the Intel-based Macbook dual boot release criterion.
  * Requiring just the standard set of applications to be release-blocking
on Workstation x86\_64, not all of them.

Other proposals are more complex and require further discussion and
possible tweaks. These include reducing BIOS support (with a likely
exception for RAID on Server), removing release-blocking status for aarch64
desktops (which has met strong opposition from the KDE SIG), de-editioning
IoT, and unifying aarch64 hardware support (which has received pushback).

Derek stated that he and another member of the KDE SIG are covering aarch64
testing. Kamil acknowledged the KDE SIG's valuable work. Since Neal from
the KDE SIG has stated they will handle the testing, the Quality team will
likely only pursue dropping GNOME on aarch64 as a release-blocker for now.

#### Test Day / community event status

All scheduled Test Days have finished. Due to staffing issues, no further
events are planned, and the team no longer has a person dedicated to
proactive organization. The Quality team is asking other teams and
community members to contact them by creating a ticket if they wish to run
a Test Day. More information can be found on the QA/Test Days wiki page [7].

Hristo Marinov asked if it was mandatory to be part of a SIG to organize a
test day, and was told that any community member can do so. He expressed
interest in organizing a Test Day for Fedora Atomic Desktops and confirmed
he already has an agreement with the maintainer. Kamil encouraged him to
create a ticket to discuss the details.

#### Open floor

No other major topics were discussed, and the meeting was concluded.
