Now let me put forward the actual idea of having an QA sprints succeeding an onboarding call. As Adam mentioned we have many new contributors coming in and hence there was a need to ensure that the packages are being tested correctly . Over a span of 2+ weeks the new contributors have been testing packages and collectively we tested about 1000 packages for Fedora 24. To ensure that everything is fine, I have asked a few of them to not give karma and wait until I check and ensure the testing was proper. In the QA sprint, I ensured that the packages were tested properly by all the people who were taking part. Except for a few packages , everything went pretty fine! . Sayan's Package was working fine for F24 ( I didn't still test for F23, although I do see one on Bodhi) , I verified it already.Although we might need to work out on the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Update_feedback_guidelines to ensure new contributors become well aware when they post feedbacks.
