2022-03-21 @ ** 16:00 ** UTC - Fedora 36 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson
# F36 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2022-03-21
# Time: ** 16:00 ** UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.libera.chat
Hi folks! We have 1 proposed Beta blocker, 1 proposed Beta freeze
exception issue, and 4 proposed Final blockers to review, so let's
have a review meeting on Monday.
Remember DST started in North America last week, and check the meeting
time carefully! If you're in North America it's at the same time as
always, if you're anywhere else it's likely earlier (when DST starts in
Europe it'll be back to the 'usual' time there).
If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or
accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found
here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ .
Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If
you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links
labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions.
Those links take you to tickets where you can vote.
https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how
exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the
meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs
where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS
MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!**
We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the
Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not
fixed. Information on the release criteria for F36 can be found on the
wiki [0].

And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting
works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out
the SOP on the wiki:

Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!

# F36 Blocker Review meeting

Hi folks! We have 2 proposed Beta blockers, 1 proposed Beta freeze
exception issue, and 4 proposed Final blockers to review, so let's
have a review meeting on Monday.
Note that DST starts in North America on Sunday, so the meeting time in
UTC is now an hour earlier than before. If your region uses daylight
savings time and it starts this weekend, the meeting will be at the
same local time as usual. If your region does not use DST, or it
doesn't kick in yet, the meeting will be an hour earlier in local time
than usual. Use `date -u` to check the current UTC time if you're
unsure.
If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or
accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found
here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ .
Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If

"The Linux Experiment" youtube channel on Fedora and usability for
newbies
by Matthew Miller
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr8iMnuW6aw&t=627s
There's a lot in this which one can argue with throughout, but... leaving
that aside, here's the comments on Fedora:
"Fedora has a super-smooth GNOME desktop. It's updated fast and constantly.
It leverages Flatpak to distribute applications, and only its outdated and
infuriating installer holds it back."
Now, I don't think that's fair to Anaconda... but also, while we're going
through a UX change for it, this is a chance to change that perception.

F36 Beta blocker in mutter (RHBZ 2017043)
by Ben Cotton
Hi team,
Can we get some help with RHBZ 2017043[1] (aka mutter #2154)? It's a
blocker for F36 Beta as it prevents wireless keyboards being used
without a wired keyboard present.
We seem unlikely to be GO for the early target date (15 Mar), but it
would be good to give ourselves ample time to test any candidate fixes
before we try again next Thursday for target date #1 (22 Mar).
If you need me to convince someone that this should be a priority, I'm
happy to sit on (virtual) desks. :-)
