19:10:40 <rbergeron> #topic QA team
19:10:44 <rbergeron> adamw: HI!
19:10:59 <rbergeron> I know we just talked yesterday.
19:11:35 <rbergeron> But wanted to check in on things - esp. documenting any known issues, etc
19:11:52 * rbergeron looks at adam
19:12:09 <mizmo> hi
19:12:24 <tflink> well, since adamw seems to have disappeared
19:12:25 <rbergeron> hey mizmo.
19:12:28 <rbergeron> tflink: ;)
19:12:31 <rbergeron> yes, by all means
19:12:43 <rbergeron> (sorry, I could have asked you too)
19:12:47 <rbergeron> but he had just appeared :)
19:12:48 <tflink> We're pretty much in the same boat as yesterday
19:13:19 <adamw> yo
19:13:20 <adamw> sorry
19:13:23 <adamw> was writing an email
19:13:25 <adamw> carry on, tflink
19:13:29 <tflink> trying to get https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738964 tested before making a rc2
19:13:57 <adamw> note that we don't have any developer response on the preupgrade bug yet, but as that actually needs to be fixed in f15, it doesn't block us from doing composes
19:14:14 <tflink> there's also the gdm poweroff at greeter issue
19:14:20 <rbergeron> #info trying to get https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738964 tested before making a rc2
19:14:33 <tflink> http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739253
19:14:44 <rbergeron> okay, so other than "get the boat out the door plz plz plz" -- how are other pieces coming along, known issues documentation, etc?
19:14:56 <rbergeron> commonbugs
19:14:58 <rbergeron> that's what i'm looking for.
19:15:09 <tflink> to the best of my knowledge, we haven't really started on that
19:15:10 <rbergeron> (along with my brain)
19:15:21 <adamw> yeah.
19:15:25 <tflink> still trying to figure out what might not make it in
19:15:35 <adamw> we usually do that stuff after signing off on the images, as we have a fairly slack week before the release.
19:15:35 <tflink> and trying to test as fast as we can
19:15:48 <rbergeron> ah. cool
19:15:49 <rbergeron> okay.
19:15:57 <rbergeron> so, you guys are awesome, does anyone need anything from QA?
19:15:59 * rbergeron looks around
19:16:12 <rbergeron> #info Another beta blocker meeting on friday, keep fingers crossed :)
19:16:24 <rbergeron> sweet, thank you
19:16:28 <rbergeron> #topic Release engineering
19:16:49 <rbergeron> dgilmore: howdy, other than waiting for fixes... how is it going?
19:17:04 <dgilmore> rbergeron: waiting on fixes
19:17:08 <rbergeron> :)
19:17:10 <dgilmore> and trying to fix ec2
19:17:17 <dgilmore> otherwise ok
19:17:34 <rbergeron> coolio. anyone have questions/needs for/from release engineering?
19:17:50 <rbergeron> alrighty.
19:17:54 <rbergeron> #topic Infrastructure
19:18:08 <rbergeron> nirik: can you fill us in on infra status
19:18:11 <rbergeron> needs or concerns
19:18:12 <rbergeron> etc
19:18:31 <nirik> should be in pretty good shape.
19:18:41 <Sparks> ?
19:18:41 <nirik> the only outstanding issue I can think of is:
19:18:55 <nirik> with kernel.org down, we might have more trouble mirroring things out to some mirrors.
19:19:04 <rbergeron> sparks: speaketh
19:19:06 <nirik> we might remind people on the mirror list to use another mirror if they normally go to kernel.org
19:19:26 <rbergeron> nirik: do we know when the expected uptime is for htat or is it still pretty muc up in the air
19:19:32 * rbergeron smacks her keyboard
19:19:48 <Sparks> nirik: I know every release you guys cache some URLs for Docs
19:20:01 <rbergeron> #info with kernel.org down, we may have trouble mirroring things out to some mirrors - should probably remind people on mirror list to use another mirror if they normally go ot kernel.org
19:20:02 <Sparks> Do we need to update you guys on the new URLs?
19:20:42 <nirik> Sparks: yeah, I think websites normally handles that... but yes, would be good to get that info when you have it.
19:20:52 <nirik> rbergeron: I don't know a timeframe. :( I can ask
19:21:07 <Sparks> nirik: Okay, we'll start working up a list for you guys.  TU
19:21:08 <Sparks> EOF
19:21:26 <rbergeron> nirik: okay, just wondering if we thought maybe it was less of a concern now with an extra week of time, or not - might be useful to know.
19:21:36 <rbergeron> but yes, probably a good idea to contact the mirrors list - who would normally do that?
19:21:53 <rbergeron> and then just follow up with them if kernel.org status changes
19:22:17 <nirik> I can do that.
19:22:29 <rbergeron> #action nirik to follow up with mirrors list as FYI
19:22:35 <rbergeron> okay.
19:22:39 <Sparks> .
19:22:43 <rbergeron> anyone else have anything for fesco?
19:22:45 <rbergeron> err
19:22:47 <rbergeron> infra
19:22:51 <rbergeron> (/me is getting to fesco next)
19:23:01 <Sparks> rbergeron: Can you add the cache update for Docs to the Docs Schedule?
19:23:15 <rbergeron> um... yes, if you tell me the details?
19:23:29 <rbergeron> #action rbergeron to get with sparks about cache update for docs on the docs schedule
19:23:35 <rbergeron> like.. post meeting :)
19:23:37 <Sparks> rbergeron: We just need to update the URLs that need to be cached before the release.
19:23:41 <Sparks> Oh sure...  :)
19:23:43 <rbergeron> okay
19:23:57 <rbergeron> #topic fesco
19:24:01 <rbergeron> nirik: anything here?
19:24:22 <nirik> no issues I know of. Maintainers are probibly getting restless with the freeze...
19:24:26 <rbergeron> yeah.
19:24:27 <rbergeron> they are
19:24:29 <rbergeron> "WHEN"
19:24:29 <rbergeron> ;)
