On September 3rd, the French team hosted a release party for Fedora 24 in “La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie” (Science and Industry Museum) in Paris, France. It is later than most release parties, but July and August are two months of vacation in France and we wanted to target as many people as possible (by the way, it allowed us to proudly announce the Fedora 25 Alpha!).
This installment of the Heroes of Fedora series will focus on work done on Fedora 24 Final version.
Welcome back to the final installment of Heroes of Fedora 24 – Final edition! The purpose of this post is to recognize the contributors who made a difference in releasing Fedora 24 Final. Below you’ll find stats for Bodhi updates, release-validation tests, and Bugzilla reports. Without further ado, let’s get started!
This installment of the Heroes of Fedora series will focus on work done on Fedora 24 Beta release. Fedora is growing! Let’s check it out…
Let’s get right back into it with the Fedora 24 Beta release statistics regarding Bodhi updates, release-validation tests, and Bugzilla reports. The numbers don’t lie, keeping in favor with the idea that Fedora is growing!
It’s time for another round of Heroes of Fedora! This time, we’re covering Fedora 24 Alpha.
As is usual with the release of a new version of Fedora, it’s time to reflect on the stats revolving around what it took to get the latest-and-greatest out the door. With the recent push of F24, the numbers are in, so without further delay, let’s check ’em out!
As you might know, Fedora released its 24th version at the end of June! Recently, the Fedorans in Singapore had a party to celebrate the release. The release party was not only to celebrate its release, but also to commemorate Fedora’s open source journey so far. We invited people from different diverse background to join us for a night of fun and open conversations (Singapore is a cosmopolitan country!)
Some of the Fedora 24 DVDs and OpenSource.com stickers for the party
We had a RSVP of over 50 folks and expected more to join in. We set up the Fedora banners and were also ready to give out DVDs and stickers. However, on the day itself, there was a dropout rate of 60% and only around fifteen folks turned up. Most of the folks that turned up were students interested in learning more about Fedora. Nevertheless, it was a cozy and warm party that everyone felt pretty comfortable with.
This article is a part of a series introducing what the Fedora Quality Assurance (QA) team is, what they do, and how you can get involved. If you’ve wanted to get involved with contributing to Fedora and testing is interesting to you, this series explains what it is and how you can get started.
This is the third and last part of the Getting started with Fedora QA series. In the last post, we talked about how to create your test environment and use Bodhi to test updates and leave feedback. This article will focus on running test cases and how to complete one.

This is a continuation of the previous post in this series of how to get involved with the Fedora Quality Assurance (QA) team. Make sure you have the Bugzilla, FAS account, and email alias set up before following these steps. You can find more information about how to get those accounts in the earlier post.
There are several different tools and services available to help us test Fedora. This helps us insure the quality of software and stay on target for a stable release. One of the easiest ways to get involved is to run Rawhide, the ever-changing development version of Fedora, or a pre-release version like the Alpha or Beta. While you are able to upgrade your system directly to these versions, sometimes you may want to use a virtual machine (VM) to work in. We’ll cover some of the Fedora-specific tools for quality assurance testing as well as setting up your environment for testing.

Over the past few months, many of us in the Bangalore open source community have focused our efforts of writing test cases for Fedora, organizing a few sessions where one can learn about testing, and how we can do things together. All this while, it has been fun: I’ve met new people, learned things, and realized that sharing even small pieces of knowledge and experiences makes it easier for newcomers to feel welcome.
At one point when Fedora 24 was released, it was exciting as we were closely involved with Fedora release validation testing and so we wanted to put together a release party. All open source projects encourage their communities to celebrate software release and similar milestones. Ours was a simple plan! We were having a really good time learning together and we wanted to get more people to know that there is a better way to gain knowledge: by sharing and working together.
On July 2nd, 2016, the San Fernando Valley Linux User Group (SFVLUG) in Lake Balboa, California, celebrated the release of Fedora 24 at their regular meeting. Fedora Ambassador Perry Rivera (FAS: lajuggler) helped coordinate these efforts at their regular meetup at Denny’s. To help celebrate the launch of Fedora 24, Perry brought some install media and a Fedora cake. The release party helped introduce Fedora 24 to a new group of users by providing them with the software and help to get Fedora 24 for themselves. This report details the release party events with SFVLUG and the impact from the event.
