GA now May 29 19:24:14 <adamw> and we've found at least two or three cases where unthemed graphical grub2 picks a wrong video mode and is impossible to see 19:24:18 <rbergeron> I guess that's probably something useful to know. 19:24:26 <mizmo> i still have to sync up with nb on the north american ones 19:24:30 <adamw> so, i'll probably knock heads with pjones and figure out an approach. 19:24:30 <rbergeron> mizmo: oh, nb hasn't... yeah, that. 19:24:46 <mizmo> im planning to do a blog post today on the media artwork changes 19:24:47 <rbergeron> I think nb may be out of town for the weekend as it is. 19:25:07 <adamw> rbergeron: the bug for graphical grub is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=822123, just for your records. 19:25:17 <mizmo> alexander also did an absolutely *gorgeous* f17 release poster that was posted to the ambassadors list 19:25:21 <rbergeron> adamw: thanks 19:25:27 <mizmo> so i think we are good, just finalizing some www.fpo stuff 19:25:39 <rbergeron> mizmo: excellent. thank you 19:25:46 <mizmo> if anybody needs something form the design team let me know 19:25:57 <mizmo> i am going to be on pto next week 19:26:16 <mizmo> but if there is some emergency i will be reachable 19:26:25 <rbergeron> #topic Engineering, Release Engineering, FESCo, Infrastructure 19:26:29 <rbergeron> nirik: hey there. 19:26:32 <rbergeron> mizmo: thanks. 19:26:34 <rbergeron> enjoy that PTO. 19:26:37 <nirik> hey 19:26:52 <rbergeron> nirik: I am having you fill in for multiple people since others aren't here. :) 19:26:55 <rbergeron> how are things? 19:27:12 <nirik> I think we are all go from what I can see for fesco and infrastructure. 19:27:23 <nirik> rel-eng we need another rc clearly... 19:27:27 * rbergeron nods 19:28:02 <rbergeron> okay. 19:28:02 <nirik> but otherwise good to push out bits into our eager consumers. ;) 19:28:07 <rbergeron> right :) 19:28:32 <rbergeron> Okay.
