This Thursday will be the first official Zenoss QA Test Day.  In honor of the (arguably) most visible feature that shipped with King Crab, the new Zenoss Event Console, this Thursday the Zenoss QA team and the zenoss-testing community forum will be holding a test day for the Event Console.  We welcome any and all community participation in this.

In addition to the normal #zenoss IRC chat, there will be a new room, #zenoss-testing, that will on Thursday hold the Zenoss QA team as well as anyone else that chooses to participate.  You can also post related questions on the zenoss-testing forum and we'll follow threads there as well.  We will focus on the new Event Console - asking for defects, suggestions, improvements, and test cases from the community.  As this is our first test day, we will also be holding a general question and answer session as needed.

For folks that would rather test out our latest alpha release (trunk, currently code-named "Stone Crab") instead of 2.5.1, a trunk build should also be available for this kickoff (likely in RPM or stack installer formats).

The test day will kick off at 10am EST and will run through 6pm EST.

For those of you that wish to join, we will be running this session on

Server: irc.freenode.net (port 6667)

Channel: #zenoss-testing

A transcript of this chat will remain on community/documentation/irc.
