- Blocker voting and ticket management
- F44 Beta RC1.2 validation testing
- Led the Fedora QA meeting, despite Matrix lagging heavily
- Tried to lead Blocker review meeting, but I got 15 minutes delay due to Matrix issues, so I wasn't able to do so. Tried to participate at least, during the times when network gods worked in my favor.

2026-03-04 09:14:00

2026-03-06 12:28:00
- Updated desktop matrix template to reflect that ABRT is no longer preinstalled
- I was accused by Till Maas of a license violation during our latest fedora-easy-karma refactoring. Spent time exchanging emails with Till and RH legal, exciting. Created a PR to hopefully resolve it:
	https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/fedora-easy-karma/pulls/73
- More debugging of test-announce email forwarding
- Attended Go/NoGo meeting

2026-03-09 10:42:00
- More legal emails about fedora-easy-karma licensing changes. And more updates to the PR.
- Reviewed and approved testdays PRs:
* "testdays-web: create automated tests"
  https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/testdays-web/pulls/89
* Fix app revision missing in a pod
  https://forge.fedoraproject.org/quality/testdays-web/pulls/95

- Secretary work after yesterday's Go/NoGo
- I was getting emails about fedora-easy-karma being in ELN, and being asked to transition from DNF4 dep to DNF5. Sure, it will have to be converted eventually, but it's unclear to me why on earth it's included in ELN in the first place. So I started investigating and asking people. Talked to Yaakov Selkowitz and on my advice he dropped FEK from ELN. It was never built for EPEL, so there was no point in having it in ELN.

2026-03-10 07:54:00
- Blocker testing and voting, including a blocker bug meeting attendance + secretary work
- More legal emails regarding fedora-easy-karma
- Went through existing common issues and updated those entries which are still problematic in F44

- Dug a little bit into why we still carry `fc41` packages (and how many) in RISC-V Koji server. And also investigated whether F44 RISC-V release can go in sync with the main arches. It is very unlikely to happen due to various reasons (details in this [planning ticket](https://forge.fedoraproject.org/riscv/planning/issues/11).
- Continued to chip away at the Fedora RISC-V tracker.
- Studied a document on changes done to Fedora CSB.
- Too much admin work (Agile talk w/ the RISC-V team, internal status updates). This metawork is starting to gobble up more time.
- Several meetings: CLE, Fedora blocker bug meeting (although I only participated partially); passive-listening on Fedora QA, Fedora RISC-V.

2026-03-06 14:31:00
- Read up on FESCo meeting notes on primary arch requirements.
- Began debugging the unified kernel boot-up issue on P550; still need to setup a reproducer.
- Started and engaged in the discussion on primary vs alternative arches on [fedora-devel](https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/M75ZTVONBTS4YJOGMQGHSAQT56ZAQTBG/) and the [discussion iscuss forum](https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/primary-vs-alternative-architectures-clarity-on-requirements/182392).  (I hate this communication split).

2026-03-09 10:56:00
- Investigated a RISC-V 'arch-test' [regression](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show%5C_bug.cgi?id=2445164) reported on Matrix. It is now resolved by the Fedora maintainer.
- Replied on the primary vs. alternative arch thread on 'fedora-devel' / forum.
- Discussed the process for eGPU doc (this needs to go through procurement) for Tenstorrent's hardware.
- Dug a bit more at the kernel bug on my P550, didn't make much progress.
