That was dumb) 18:13:29 chalk it up to trying to make a RC on the weekend while getting harassed by family :/ 18:14:47 so if any of you have any spare cycles, please throw it at testing something related to the Alpha 18:15:06 anything else regarding Alpha? 18:15:22 oh, We have to make a go/no go decision at some point today 18:15:34 but I'm pushing that as late as possible to get QA enough time to verify the RC bits 18:15:43 * poelcat thought that was happening at this meeting 18:16:19 poelcat: normally it would, but QA hasn't had enough time to verify the RC images 18:16:37 still hoping to get a clear answer on the schedule so I can tie things up 18:17:05 Oxf13: doesn't that take a few days? 18:18:01 poelcat: not necessarily. They already tested pretty hard slightly older images, so really we just need to verify that the remaining blockers were indeed fixed with this new set 18:18:26 okay, so if i don't hear anything bad by EOD today i'll adjust the rest of the schedule 18:19:02 ok. 18:19:38 which is to add one week to all the remaining milestones based on my understanding from last week 18:19:58 giving us a GA date of 2009-11-10 18:20:06 poelcat: er, you were going to start a thread on logistics list about that 18:20:14 and announce to the normal places that such a thread was going on 18:20:17 i did last week and nobody objected 18:20:22 * Oxf13 looks 18:21:33 oh. See, I didn't read the message fully, because I thought it was just about rescheduling the readiness meeting. 18:22:25 also a reminder that release readiness meeting is wednesday at 19:00 UTC (16:00 EDT/13:00 PDT) 18:23:35 #info release readiness meeting is wednesday at 19:00 UTC (16:00 EDT/13:00 PDT 18:24:02 #topic Open Floor 18:27:36 * jlaska back 18:28:04 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RPM_Upgrade_SOP 18:28:09 it still needs work 18:28:09 hey cool! 18:28:12 but is a start 18:31:31 Ok, I'm going to close the meeting.
