19:02:44 <rbergeron> I still need docs, design, ambassadors (i can fill in there), QA, websites.
19:04:37 <tatica> o/
19:04:44 <rbergeron> #info mizmo here for design, jjmcd for docs.
19:04:57 <jjmcd> I see Sparks here already
19:05:10 <rbergeron> oh, he is in deed.
19:05:14 <rbergeron> not piping up though :)
19:05:29 <jjmcd> oh
19:05:38 <rbergeron> Alrighty, I pinged QA and websites, so we'll see if they roll in. :)
19:06:14 <rbergeron> As you all know, this meeting is to make sure everyone's on track for Alpha release, which is NOT next tuesday, due to slip, but will be on the following tuesday, August 23.
19:06:30 <rbergeron> I'll roll through the groups present - if anyone is blocked on anything, now's the time to discuss with other teams.
19:06:36 <rbergeron> #topic Design
19:06:43 <rbergeron> (I'm going alphabetically)
19:06:49 <rbergeron> mizmo: how goes it?
19:07:10 <mizmo> we're in good shape, we have banners ready for the website and an alpha wallpaper already packaged and ready in alpha
19:07:33 <rbergeron> wahoo :)
19:07:37 <rbergeron> very nice.
19:08:06 <rbergeron> can i assume you guys have been in contact with websites folks and that they know (since nobody is here from that group, though I'll follow up with them in email anyway)?
19:09:09 <mizmo> no, we have a standard place we post the banners
19:09:17 <rbergeron> ah, okay.
19:09:27 <rbergeron> no issues with anything then?
19:09:32 <mizmo> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F16_Artwork/Submissions/Banners
19:09:34 <mizmo> nope
19:09:49 <rbergeron> cool. Thanks! :)
19:09:52 <rbergeron> #topic Docs
19:10:09 <jjmcd> Alpha is pretty straightforward for us so no issues
19:10:10 <rbergeron> jjmcd: other than the alpha announcement, anything outstanding?
19:10:13 * rbergeron nods
19:10:24 <jjmcd> I see a lot of folks have contributed to the announcement ;-))
19:10:26 <rbergeron> yup.
19:10:36 <jjmcd> So for alpha pretty good shape
19:10:50 <jjmcd> There is an alpha RN
19:10:53 <rbergeron> hooray. :)
19:10:54 <jjmcd> single page
19:11:10 <jjmcd> I see rahul shrunk it and pointed to announcement - fine
19:11:15 <jjmcd> no point in duplication
19:11:32 <rbergeron> :)
19:11:44 <jjmcd> Beta is a lot scarier for us
19:11:50 <rbergeron> Yeah.
19:12:20 <rbergeron> Alrighty. Thanks for the update :)
19:12:32 <rbergeron> #topic Infrastructure
19:12:41 <rbergeron> nirik: everything looking good?
19:13:13 * rbergeron is happy to hear if FESCo is fine here as well, and assumes they are.
19:13:18 <nirik> yep. I think we are pretty set.
19:13:29 <rbergeron> okay.
19:13:32 <rbergeron> :)
19:13:33 <nirik> we have our usual release tickets open and being watched.
19:13:46 <rbergeron> #topic Marketing
19:14:06 * rbergeron talks to herself, and determines that things look okay, other than needing talking points, but we'll get there soon enough.
19:14:18 <rbergeron> #topic QA
19:14:28 <rbergeron> do we have anyone from QA-land yet?
19:14:46 <rbergeron> I think they pretty much stated everything yesterday - we still have blockers on the blocker list.
19:15:30 <rbergeron> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers
19:15:35 <rbergeron> Does anyone need anything from QA?
19:16:11 <rbergeron> I'll take that as a no.
19:16:14 <rbergeron> #topic Release Engineering
19:16:24 <rbergeron> dgilmore: HAI, how's rel-eng land going? :)
19:16:57 <dgilmore> rbergeron: waiting on fixes for rc4
19:17:26 <rbergeron> okeedokee.
19:18:13 <rbergeron> #topic Localization
19:18:19 <rbergeron> noriko: how are things looking?
19:18:36 <noriko> No issue.
19:18:36 <noriko> After string freeze, teams are translating software packages actively.
19:18:43 <noriko> As transifex moved to tx.net, I like the packgers to make sure that they have updated POT files for translation for this release.
19:18:51 <rbergeron> awesome. :)
19:18:55 <noriko> Due to this slip, some packages may need string freeze break.
19:19:02 <jsmith> Understood
19:19:12 <noriko> Please consult trans list, it is usually accepted.
19:19:25 <rbergeron> Do you guys have that coordinated with the package owners, or do you need help?
19:20:24 <noriko> it all up to packgers for moving.
19:21:04 <noriko> I am sure that dimitris is looking after that side :-)
19:21:09 <rbergeron> okay.
19:21:16 <rbergeron> any other issues?
19:23:47 <rbergeron> I'll take that as a no. :) Thanks!
19:23:59 <rbergeron> #topic Websites
19:24:03 <rbergeron> Anyone here from websites?
19:24:22 <rbergeron> If not, i'll follow up via email.
19:24:29 <nirik> I'm not, but I talked with them a bit ago
19:24:33 <rbergeron> nirik: and? :)
19:24:43 <nirik> they said things were on track and they should have a alpha site ready soon.
19:25:01 <rbergeron> excellent.
19:25:02 <nirik> s/site/branch/ or whatever it is. ;)
19:25:04 <rbergeron> thank you :)
19:25:31 <rbergeron> #topic Any other Business or Issues
19:25:46 <rbergeron> Does anyone have anything not currently addressed that they need help with relating to Alpha? :)
19:26:20 <rbergeron> Well, gosh. Good job, folks - sounds like everyone is very on track for this release :)
19:26:23 * rbergeron salutes you all!
19:26:43 <rbergeron> Well, if there is nothing else, I'll close out in just a minute.
19:27:58 <rbergeron> Thanks, everyone, for coming. :)
