[sorry this is late, I sent it from the wrong email address :< RC2 will be landing in ~8 hours]
Somewhat later than scheduled [1], Fedora 23 Alpha Release Candidate 1 (RC1) is now available for testing. Please help us complete as much of the validation testing as we can!
We already know we'll need an RC2, but so far the expected change is minor (likely just dropping some packages from Server DVD). We definitely need to fill out all the Alpha tests with RC1 to find any other lurking blockers, so please help!
The Cloud base i386 image is hitting a mysterious failure during compose. releng will work on it tomorrow, but if we can't fix it there's a possibility it'll simply be dropped. All other significant images should be available.
Content information, including changes, can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6213#comment:6 . Please see the following pages for download links and testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the fastest download, but download- ib01.fedoraproject.org is available as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

All Alpha priority test cases for each of these test pages [2] must pass in order to meet the Alpha Release Criteria [3]. We are also trying to run the Beta and Final tests at this time, to try and identify later release blocker bugs as early as possible.
Help is available on #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net [4], or on the test list [5].
