The FCOS <strong>next<\/strong> stream is already rebased on Fedora 38 content, which will be coming soon to <strong>testing<\/strong> and <strong>stable<\/strong>. To prepare for the content being promoted to other streams the Fedora CoreOS and QA teams have organized test days on <strong>Tues, March 28, 2023<\/strong> (results accepted through <strong>Sun , November 12<\/strong>). Refer to the <a href=\"http:\/\/fedoraproject.org\/wiki\/Test_Day:Fedora_38_CoreOS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wiki page<\/a> for links to the test cases and materials you\u2019ll need to participate. The FCOS and QA team will meet and communicate with the community sync on a Google Meet at the beginning of test week and async over multiple matrix\/element channels.

This release has a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/fedoraproject.org\/wiki\/Releases\/38\/ChangeSet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">changes<\/a> and it becomes essential that we test the graphical upgrade methods as well as the command line. As a part of these <a href=\"http:\/\/fedoraproject.org\/wiki\/Test_Day:2023-03-28_F38_Upgrade_Test_Day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">test days<\/a>, we will test upgrading from a full updated, F36 and F37 to F38 for all architectures (x86_64, ARM, aarch64) and variants (WS, cloud, server, silverblue, IoT).<\/p>\n<h2>IoT test week<\/h2>\n<p>For <a href=\"http:\/\/2023-04-03_Fedora_38_IoT_Edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this test week<\/a>, the focus is all-around; test all the bits that come in a Fedora IoT release as well as validate different hardware. This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Basic installation to different media<\/li>\n<li>Installing in a VM<\/li>\n<li>rpm-ostree upgrades, layering, rebasing<\/li>\n<li>Basic container manipulation with Podman.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We welcome all different types of hardware, but have a specific <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.fedoraproject.org\/en-US\/iot\/reference-platforms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">list of target hardware<\/a> for convenience.<\/p>\n<h2>How do test days work?<\/h2>\n<p>A test day is an event where anyone can help make certain that changes in Fedora work well in an upcoming release. Fedora community members <a href=\"https:\/\/fedoramagazine.org\/?s=test+days\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">often participate<\/a>, and the public is welcome at these events. Test days are the perfect way to start contributing if you not in the past.<\/p>\n<p>The only requirement to get started is the ability to download test materials (which include some large files) and then read and follow directions step by step.<\/p>\n<p>Detailed information about all the test days are on the wiki page links provided above. If you are available on or around the days of the events, please do some testing and report your results.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fedora test days are events where anyone can help make certain that changes in Fedora work well in an upcoming release.
