[rdo-users] Upcoming test day: December 14, 15

[Rich Bowen]

TL;DR: Live RDO cloud will be available for testing on upcoming test 
day. http://rdoproject.org/testday/queens/milestone2/ for more info.

The last few test days have been somewhat lackluster, and have not had 
much participation. We think that there's a number of reasons for this:

* Deploying OpenStack is hard and boring
* Not everyone has the necessary hardware to do it anyways
* Automated testing means that there's not much left for the humans to do

In today's IRC meeting, we were brainstorming about ways to improve 
participation in test day.

We think that, in addition to testing the new packages, it's a great way 
for you, the users, to see what's coming in future releases, so that you 
can start thinking about how you'll use this functionality.

One idea that came out of it is to have a test cloud, running the latest 
packages, available to you during test day. You can get on there, poke 
around, break stuff, and help test it, without having to go through the 
pain of deploying OpenStack.

David has written more about this here:

Please also give some thought to what kinds of test scenarios we should 
be running, and add those to http://rdoproject.org/testday/tests/  Or, 
respond to this thread with suggestions of what we should be testing.
