Are you interested in assisting with Fedora Linux 41’s development? Test days provide an opportunity for individuals to ensure that modifications in Fedora are functioning effectively in the upcoming release. These events are open to the public, and participation from the Fedora community is highly encouraged. If you have not previously been involved with Fedora contributions, this is an excellent starting point.

There are two upcoming testing periods within the next fortnight, focusing on two key areas:

• From Tuesday 10 Sept to Monday 16 Sept, the evaluation will be centered on localization (i18n).
• Within the timeframe of Monday 09 Sept to Friday 13 Sept, the assessment will involve the implementation of Tuned as the Default Power Profile.

Come join us in testing to enhance the quality of Fedora 41. Explore further details below on how you can engage in the process.

i18n Evaluation Days

The i18n team is examining modifications for Fedora Linux 41, such as IBus Chewing being set as default for Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) and others. Thus, the i18n and QA groups have collaboratively arranged a testing week from Tuesday, September 10, 2024, through Monday, September 16, 2024. The associated wiki page provides links to the pertinent test images required for participation.

Introduction of Tuned as the Default

We extend an invitation to testers interested in evaluating the new Tuned Power Daemon in Fedora 41, which is poised to be the chief power profile daemon. This innovative feature is designed to enhance power management by delivering more efficient power-saving configurations and enriched customization alternatives. Your input will be pivotal in ensuring a seamless transition from the preceding power-profiles-daemon to Tuned.

Regardless of whether you are an experienced evaluator or new to Fedora, your contributions will aid in identifying any glitches and refining this feature to provide an optimal user experience for all Fedora users. Partner with us in shaping the future landscape of power management in Fedora 41! Testing is scheduled to take place from Monday 09 Sept to Friday 13 Sept. Additional information is available on the wiki page for those interested.

How Test Days Operate

A test day represents an occasion where individuals can assist in verifying that alterations in Fedora Linux are functioning effectively in an upcoming release. Members of the Fedora community frequently participate in these events, and the general public is encouraged to join in. This serves as an ideal gateway for initiating contributions.

Participation merely necessitates the ability to download testing resources (which may include sizable files) and following the provided instructions meticulously.

In-depth information regarding all test days can be found on the aforementioned wiki pages. If you are available on or around the event dates, we encourage you to conduct some testing and document your observations. The final touches to all test day pages are usually implemented approximately 24 hours before the commencement of the test period. Kindly anticipate resources that are oftentimes uploaded just hours preceding the test day initiation.
