Fedora 25 Workstation Wayland-by-default Test Day report

Hi folks! As yesterday's Test Day was pretty popular and widely-covered, I thought I'd blog the report as well as emailing it out.

We had a great Test Day! 49 testers combined ran a total of 341 tests and filed or referenced 35 bugs. 9 of those have since been closed as duplicates, leaving 26 open reports:

• #1299505 gnome-calculator prints "Currency LTL is not provided by IMF or ECB" in Financial mode

• #1384675 system-config-users does not work under Wayland
• #1384678 Missing top-left icon (and full application name) on Wayland

Some of these are not Wayland bugs, but it's not a bad thing that people found some non-Wayland bugs as well while testing! We did find several new Wayland issues, but on the positive side, no really big bugs that weren't already known and on the radar for the final release.

So the event looks like a success on all fronts: we found some new bugs to squish, but it also gives us a decent indication that the Workstation-on-Wayland experience is in a good enough condition for a first stable release. We also confirmed that the Workstation-on-X11 session is available as a fallback and that works properly, for anyone who can't use Wayland for any reason.

Many thanks to all the testers for their hard work!
