AI summary:
### Key Discussion Points
* **Fedora 45 Status & Early Testing:**
* A request has been made for early, non-automated validation testing for
Fedora 45, particularly for ARM builds, to catch major issues before branching.
* A known issue is a workstation crash on Raspberry Pi 4 related to a
Vulkan driver bug
([RHBZ#2510680](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2510680)).
* A GNOME update is currently failing openQA tests.
* The Anaconda installer plans to change its default font to Noto.
* **Data Visualization Ideas:**
* The Fedora Data & Analytics team is seeking ideas for QA-related data
to visualize.
* Suggestions included improving `testcase_stats`, visualizing community
contributions, tracking the percentage of Bodhi updates with negative karma,
and counting QA participants from sources like the mailing list.
* Tracking build completion rates and FTBFS (Failed to Build from Source)
packages was also proposed.
* **Test Day Planning:**
* Planning for a new round of test days is in progress.
* It was suggested that having actual regression/test suites for users to
run during these events would be beneficial.
* **`mcelog` Issue:**
* A discussion was held regarding the `mcelog` service, which is
minimally maintained and fails on modern, unsupported CPUs (e.g., AMD).
* While this is technically permitted by the release criteria, the
behavior is not ideal.
* The possibility of replacing `mcelog` with `rasdaemon` or not
installing a RAS daemon by default was raised.
### Action Items
* **Fedora 45 Testing:** Community members are encouraged to help with early
manual validation testing for Fedora 45.
* **Data Visualization:** Anyone with ideas for data visualization should add
them to the ticket:
[quality/tickets/issues/923](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/tickets/issues/923).
* **Test Day Scheduling:** The proposed test days need to be added to the
[Test Days website](https://testdays.fedoraproject.org/) and the calendar soon
to avoid scheduling conflicts.
* **`mcelog` Follow-up:** Ephraim Kaov (`ephmo`) will start a thread on the
`devel@` mailing list or `discussion.fedoraproject.org` to gather feedback on
replacing `mcelog`.
