Article Summary: Desktop Test Days: A week for KDE and another for GNOME

Article Description: Two Test Days are planned for upcoming desktop releases: KDE Plasma 6.6 on 2026-02-02 and GNOME 50 on 2026-02-11.

Join the KDE Plasma 6.6 Test Day on February 2nd to help us refine the latest Plasma features: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2026-02-02_KDE_Plasma_6.6

Help polish the next generation of the GNOME desktop during the GNOME 50 Test Day on February 11th: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2026-02-11_GNOME_50_Desktop

You can contribute to a stable Fedora release by testing these new environments and reporting your results.

If you can have the article ready we can publish tomorrow (30 Jan Friday) for KDE and 6 or 9 Feb for GNOME.
Or one articletfor both, if you wish. But to give readers (tester) some lead time the latest should probably be 30 Jan if at all possible.

Let us know the status on this ticket please.

@psklenar Your article is published. Thank you.

One note. The featured image should be added to the article using the option in the right column in the WP editor under the "Post" tab not by adding it to the top of the article as an image.

The image needs to be 1890x800 pixels. The old one is available in the "Media" tab in WordPress but it old enough that you have to go through a lot of previous images to find it.

I will attach it to this message so you can save it for future use.
