= Full Name =
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Tomspur Thomas Spura]
= Experience =
* Currently, I maintain 18 packages in fedora [1], also quite important
ones like python3 and ipython. I'm also provenpackager, so I know how to
break things from a packager view of point ;)
* I've already given much feedback in bodi (I'm most of the time in the
top 8 in [2]).
- prevented a broken evolution package getting in:
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/evolution-2.30.1-3.fc13
- my karma would make 'proxy karma' unnecessary, e.g.:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.0-1.fc13
* Most of the time, I'm running XFCE (and just sometimes GNOME) and
because most other QA members are constantly running GNOME, the XFCE
packages are unlikely to get tested. So I would primary focus on testing
XFCE packages.

= Summary =
I believe, I've already shown some of the capabilities, that are needed to
get proventester, know how updates are working and know how to break
something as a packager and therefore what to check as a QA member...
So I don't need much guidence to finish the proventesters process and here
I'm requesting a mentor.

I've been working with Fedora for a while and would like to be a
proventester so I could help test Xfce and other updates in the critical
path.
Happy to work with a mentor or whatever.

Well, more we asked you to provide a draft of a combined page, so we
could see whether it looks better than way :)
It's difficult to get a feel for the draft from a mailing list
transcription. Could you please instead create it as a new draft page in
your own personal space on the Wiki, so we can see it in the proper Wiki
layout?
Your personal space is under your FAS username - so mine's at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill . You can create new pages
under this, like I put my first draft of the proven testers page at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_proventesters_instructio… . You can create a similar page name under your space for your draft. Thanks!

Sorry for the cross-post, but figured it's worth CCing devel in case
anyone has concerns on these.
I'm currently working on a plan to expand desktop validation testing. As
part of the discussion around this, Christoph Wickert proposed several
additions to the release criteria that seem sensible to me. I'd like to
propose we add these to the criteria for F14 and on:
* Saving passwords in the desktop default keyring (if the desktop
implements one), and retrieving passwords from the keyring, must work
* The desktop default update manager must not periodically check for
updates when the system is booted live, but must periodically check for
updates when running on an installed system
* The desktop's offered mechanisms for shutting down, logging out and
rebooting must work
Anyone have comments or objections to these? Suggestions for what
release they should come in? I'd say #1 should be final and #2 and #3
should be beta, off the top of my head.

So, we need to move fast with proven testers, as I said last night :)
Given that, here's a quick off-the-top-of-my-head set of suggestions for
proven tester mentoring. I'm not trying to hijack this process or
anything, I just want to get something out there so we can get started
and make sure we're able to accept the applications we have right now so
we can get people out there testing.
We obviously don't have instructions for the mentoring process yet, and
it'd help to have some. I'll try and draft a wiki page for this soon,
which Aaron will inevitably make much better. =) In the mean time,
here's some quick thoughts.
We have 14 open proventester requests. Easiest way to see them all is
from this trac report:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/report/9
all the tickets under 'Proventester Mentor Request Release'. We should
aim to accept these ASAP. Those of us who are already proventester
members - see
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/members/proventesters -
should try and grab two or three of these requests each.
We should then point our...mentor-ees?...to the proven tester
instructions page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Proven_tester
and ask them to confirm that they've read the instructions, and that
they're familiar with the process of enabling updates-testing and using
the web interface or fedora-easy-karma to post feedback on updates. Then
we should ask them to apply to the proventesters FAS group, and then
sponsor them into the group. Ask them to let you know when they've filed
their first batch of update feedback, and quickly look over it to make
sure it looks in line with what we're aiming for.
This is all coming off the top of my head, as I said, but I think it
should be enough to get us going. Please do raise any suggestions,
improvements, or anything I left out in my process. If anyone would like
to go ahead and draft a mentor instructions Wiki page before I can (I've
got to write the FWN QA beat next), please do!
Alright, I'm off to pick a group of mentor-ees :)
