[Test-Announce] Test Days: GRUB EFI for confidential computing

Greetings testers!

Please join us for upcoming Test Days and help us improve Fedora's quality and stability.
Your participation helps us find and fix bugs before the next release, ensuring a smoother experience for all users.

This time we'll focus on testing grub-cc - a smaller, lighter version of the GRUB bootloader
on UEFI to support booting sealed bootable container images, such as for Confidential Computing.

You'll install Fedora 45 and boot a UKI using grub-cc.

Test period: 2026-10-19 to 2026-10-25
Test instructions: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2026-10-19_GRUB_EFI_for_confidential_computing


Thank you for your contributions!

[Test-Announce] 2026-10-19 @ 16:00 UTC - Fedora 45 Blocker Review Meeting

# F45 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2026-10-19 # Time: 16:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.io]=chat.fedoraproject.org Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 45 blocker (and FE) review meeting! We have 4 proposed blockers and 2 proposed freeze exceptions for Final. Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time in your local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+45+Blocker+review+meeting&iso=20261019T16&p1=1440&ah=2 The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing. If you have time today, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!** We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F45 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good day and see you tomorrow!

[Test-Announce] F45 Final NO-GO

Because no suitable release candidate (rc) was available, we do not have an F45 Final RC. As a result, F45 Final is NO-GO by default. The next Fedora Linux 45 Final Go/No-Go meeting[1] will be held at 1700 UTC on Thursday, 22 October 2026 in #fedora-meeting on Matrix. We will aim for the "current target date #1" milestone of Tuesday, 27 October 2026. The release schedule[2] will be updated accordingly soon.
