QA (public)

I am definitely not on the conference on Thursday but may come on Friday and Saturday. Considering I will be busy around the the of the conference I am not going to promise that I can help preparing/conducting workshops or talks.

I'm thinking of giving a lightning or short talk on how we automatically update perl modules in devel:languages:perl.
For testing in a smaller audience I added a proposal to our workshop list: https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/qa/wiki/Tools#Workshop-Topics

When it comes to openQA I think we had enough "getting started" workshops. We can of course still repeat those but there's probably not much new we can show.

What I would definitely do is an open discussion round about QA in general. We had interesting discussions on the last conference and I can imagine that there's interest in repeating such a session.

For an openQA related workshop I'd also keep it more open, e.g. an "ask the openQA devs questions" session might be more useful than "getting started". You might present some new (or generally interesting but less known) openQA features at the beginning to get the questions/discussions started.

I would prefer to do what I suggested preferably on Friday. On this day there will still be many people there and there's also a chance I can make it.

I am more inclined toward a general session on "How to Debug openQA Issues."

Topics of interest include:

• Identifying whether an issue is related to openQA, the test suite itself, or a product bug.
  
• Reproducing openQA issues from production on a local instance.
  
• Setting up a local environment to run isotovideo directly.
  

If these topics have already been covered previously, then a broader QA discussion might be beneficial.

Will there be an option to join the Workshop virtually?

Within the survey i guess that fell into the basic dev session option, which i also would've preferred, but it lost by one vote.

Results:

1. QA General Discussion Round (4 Votes)
2. Basic OpenQA Development Workshop (3 Votes)
   ...

Team availability:

1. Friday (6 Votes)
2. Saturday (5 Votes)
3. Thursday (4 Votes)

I've prepared a draft proposal on etherpad, feel free to modify / append stuff here.

Good point, i added to the proposal that we would like to offer virtual attendance as well.

Ok after i had sent off the proposal, some additional fields showed up, i went with:

• Subtitle: Interactive discussion round focusing on openQA and Quality Assurance
• Track: openSUSE
• Difficulty: Easy

There is a optional "commercial", in case we have a fitting image or video i can still add that. It would then be shown on the proposals public page

Weirdly i seem to not have permissions to add anyone besides myself to the list of speakers:

The change you wanted was rejected.

Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to.

Any idea idea who i can reach out to regarding this, should i simply create a ticket in the opensuse-admin project as mentioned on the openSUSE Heroes page ? Unrelated to that i am also getting a Error 500: Internal Server Error when trying to access My Registration.

Henne has provided some fixes for events. If it's related to the code, please open an issue at https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/issues

Hi @ddemaio, thanks for your answer. I think regarding adding other speakers to the proposal the output indicates that it is simply a problem regarding permissions, though i am not sure on what exactly is needed to be done here. I have just tried and the issue still perists, so i'm not sure the fixes you mentioned are related, should i contact Hennes about this anyway ?

I have created a issue regarding the OSEM internal server error

Strange. Henne just fixed that about two weeks ago. The person you're adding should be registered for the conference for sure and then you can add their username. Maybe try that and see if it will work. Then you can tag henne here. But that should be fixed as I did this a couple weeks ago.

That part was certainly missing. At least I wasn't yet registered. Done so now :)

Yes sorry you're correct, my issue was closed as a duplicate of osem/issues/3552, i assume the fix simply isnt live on production yet.

I should've mentioned that i've already tried only adding @mkittler (who registered while in a call with me) to rule that out. Just to make sure i just tried only adding @okurz, but without success, so that does not seem to be the issue.
