request for design doc for beaker
by Ray Chen
HI, all
I want to create a live CD, but find that following problem.
It's problem about UnicodeEncodeError. Right now the terminal's locale
is
zh_CN.UTF-8. How to resolve this problem?
Another problem: I have read rhtslib's code and it's easy to understand.
But as for Medusa and logan is hard to read, do you have any doc for
reference?
Thanks,
Ray

Self introduction
by Ray Chen
Hi, all,
Sorry to trouble you, but I would like join the automation team to
develop some tool for Fedora QA sub project. From Feodra wiki website, I
have known that there already some tools, such as SNAKE, Bodhi and
Beaker. Could you please show me dome detail of above project's process?
Thanks.
Now I'm a HP software engineer in China and like Linux very much. I'm
familiar with Linux and Perl/Python/Shell programming for system admin.
Similarly the project I'm working on is also develop an automation
framework for testing HP product. Hope I can make some contribution to
Fedora project, because I'm now using Fedora for daily desktop
workstation.
Again I'm here to ask for some advice on howto join Fedora QA automation
step by step. First I decide to do some research on Beaker/RHTS.
Is there any work I can do for Beaker?
Thanks,
Ray

beaker roadmap and work items
by James Laska
Greetings,
Bill and I discussed this a bit on IRC. I thought I'd bring it to the
list as well.
Ray Chen joined fedora-test-list recently and noted interest in
contributing to the beaker project in his introduction. Bill and I
discussed some topics that might be good things to get started for new
recruits. Some ideas include ...
* Packaging assistance with beaker/medusa? -
https://fedorahosted.org/beaker
* Packaging and seeking review for rhtslib (as beaker-testlib?) -
https://fedorahosted.org/beaker/wiki/RHTSLibrary
* Setup and host a demo instance (via fedora-infrastructure
guest)?
* Wiki doc help?
* Writing built-in unit tests?
What other areas might be good for folks to help contribute today?
Thanks,
James
