💚Hello openSUSE!💚

If you're interested in helping us with the quality and testing of Leap 15.6 Beta which was released today, then hear me out!

We've prepared the following wiki pages openSUSE:Bug_Day and openSUSE:Known_bugs_15.6. The latter is a dashboard/collaboration document for any issues found during the 15.6 Beta test effort.

There will be a kickoff of the Leap 15.6 Beta test with a Bug Day event today at 20:00 UTC.
We'll do live stream on openSUSE channel on youtube.

We'll be happy if you'll join us and will test your usual workflows on 15.6 Beta either on your hardware or VM and let us know what doesn't work.
If you can't attend the bug day, then don't worry we'll have a recording, you can help us testing Leap 15.6 Beta and RC pretty much until we hit GM in mid-May 2024.

So zypper dup --releasever 15.6 your existing Leap system or grab images from https://get.opensuse.org/leap/15.6/ and Happy HackingTesting!

💚ps. Any help on the wiki side or reposting this information is also super welcome! 💚
