Hi, 4.5.0 Alpha is coming next week!
As for oVirt 4.4 test day we have a trello board at https://trello.com/b/3FZ7gdhM/ovirt-450-test-day .
For reference, the 4.4 trello board is at https://trello.com/b/5ZNJgPC3/ovirt-440-test-day 

If you have troubles accessing the trello board please let me know.
If you have a better idea on how to coordinate the next 4.5.0 beta test day (too late for 4.5.0 alpha) I'm open to suggestions.

A release management draft page has been created at: https://www.ovirt.org/release/4.5.0/

If you're willing to help testing the release during the test days please join the oVirt development mailing list at
https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/devel@ovirt.org/ and report your feedback there.
Please join the trello board for sharing what you're going to test so others can focus on different areas not covered by your test.
If you don't want to register to trello, please share on the oVirt development mailing list and we'll add it to the board.
The board is publicly visible also to non-registered users.
Instructions for installing oVirt 4.5.0 Alpha and oVirt 4.5.0 Beta for testing will be added to the release page
https://www.ovirt.org/release/4.5.0/ when the corresponding version will be released.

Professional Services, Integrators and Backup vendors: please plan a test session against your additional services, integrated solutions,
downstream rebuilds, backup solution accordingly.
