The i18n team is testing changes for Fedora Linux 43 (Use COLR for Noto Color Emoji, Set Default Monospace Fallback Font , and many more). As a result, the i18n and QA teams organized a test week to run from Tuesday, September 09, 2025, to Monday, September 15, 2025. The wiki page in this article contains links to the test images you’ll need to participate. Please continue reading for details.

How does a test week work?

A test week is an event where anyone can help ensure changes in Fedora Linux work well in an upcoming release. Fedora community members often participate, and the public is welcome at these events. If you’ve never contributed before, this is a perfect way to get started.

To contribute, you only need to be able to do the following things:

  • Download test materials, which include some large files
  • Read and follow directions step by step

The wiki page for the i18n test week is your source of information on what and how to test. After you’ve done some testing, you can log your results in the test week web application. If you’re available on or around the days of the event, please do some testing and report your results.

Happy testing, and we hope to see you on one of the test days.
