19:17:36 <rbergeron> Anyone have anything they need from design?
19:17:48 <sijis> i do
19:17:50 <rbergeron> Okay then.
19:17:55 <rbergeron> #topic Websites
19:18:02 <rbergeron> sijis: How goes websites prep for alpha
19:18:22 <sijis> mizmo: do you know if we are putting a new image for alpha? .. no right?
19:18:38 <mizmo> sijis, for the full size slideshow? i don't think so
19:18:45 <mizmo> we could do a smaller one though
19:18:54 <sijis> mizmo: ok, that's what i thought. just the little notcie in get-fedora
19:18:55 <mizmo> http://fedoraproject.org/static/images/banners/f14release.png  <= to replace this guy
19:19:10 <mizmo> yeh i think that might be best
19:19:15 <sijis> yeah, for the little banner rotating thigny
19:19:25 <mizmo> cool when do you need it by
19:19:41 <sijis> its going well for web.. just a few minor things to do but we should be good to go
19:20:01 <sijis> in the next week or so (since its slipped)
19:20:16 <mizmo> okay
19:21:00 <sijis> that's all i have.
19:21:12 <sijis> oh. one thing
19:21:25 <sijis> dgilmore: when will the iso's be ready?
19:21:42 <sijis> so i have a general idea when to look for alpha iso paths
19:21:54 * nirik notes we need a rc2 once the blocker is fixed, that to get tested, then accepted.
19:21:57 <dgilmore> sijis: when we have a fix for the one issue
19:22:19 <sijis> ah, ok. :)
19:22:27 * red_alert notes we're probably facing a second blocker
19:22:55 <sijis> any questions or something needed from us?
19:24:44 <jsmith> Oh no, I think we lost Robyn
19:24:46 <sijis> our chair just dropped.
19:24:54 <jsmith> OK, I'll fill in for her
19:25:22 <jsmith> We'll move on to FESCo next
19:25:34 <jsmith> nirik: Any concerns?  Questions?  Needs?
19:25:40 <nirik> nothing I can think of...
19:25:50 <nirik> maintainers are eager for the freeze to be lifted. ;)
19:26:00 <jsmith> I can well imagine :-)
19:26:09 <nirik> so, if we can get an accepted alpha sooner rather than later, it would let us move forward better.
19:26:14 <mizmo> (rbergeron is having some network issues)
19:26:34 <jsmith> Anybody have anything for FESCo before I move on?
19:27:26 <rbergeronnn> Hey.
19:27:28 <rbergeronnn> What did I miss
19:27:33 * rbergeronnn wonders if she can be seen
19:27:35 <rbergeronnn> :(
19:27:50 <mizmo> i can hear you now rbergeronnn
19:27:50 <mizmo> :)
19:27:51 <jsmith> rbergeronnn: We just moved on to FESCo
19:28:02 <rbergeronnn> jsmith: thanks. I split off, apparently, or am about to split off
19:28:21 <jsmith> Do we have a representative from Ambassadors/FAMSCo?
19:28:54 <jsmith> OK, how about Docs?
19:28:58 <rbergeronnn> ppapadeas was going to attend
19:29:09 <Southern_Gentlem> i guess i can for ambassadors
19:29:39 <Southern_Gentlem> no problems i know of from our lists
19:29:39 <jsmith> Southern_Gentlem: Thanks for helping out... any concerns, questions, comments re: Alpha?
19:30:12 <jsmith> Anybody have questions/comments/concerns for FAMSCo?
19:30:23 <rbergeron> Nope.
19:30:34 <sijis> nope.
19:30:38 * rbergeron is still reading backlog
19:30:54 * zoglesby is here
19:30:58 <rbergeron> #topic Marketing
19:31:09 <rbergeron> Y'all missed me questioning myself on another channel.
19:31:14 <rbergeron> it was amusing.
19:31:21 <rbergeron> Hey robyn, is Marketing ready for Alpha?
19:31:39 <rbergeron> Why yes, just about, we just need to hack out the alpha announcement. Other than that, good to go.
19:31:50 <rbergeron> Any questions for me?
19:32:28 <jsmith> Just a reminder that the Marketing team can always use help on the talking points, feature profiles, etc.
19:32:28 <rbergeron> wow, there goes dgilmore.
19:32:28 <sijis> haha. nope.
19:32:36 <rbergeron> Yes, please.
19:32:46 <mizmo> how is this release
19:32:51 <mizmo> in terms of, user noticeability
19:32:53 <mizmo> we have gnome 3
19:33:00 <mizmo> are there any major user-visible features in f15?
19:33:09 <rbergeron> libreoffice, I'd say
19:33:14 * mizmo thinking on what photos could be shot for the one-page release notes
19:33:15 <rbergeron> is a nice one to be able to mention
19:33:20 <mizmo> ah *awesome*
19:33:47 <rbergeron> There's some power mgmt stuff as well, not sure how shootable that is
19:33:55 <jsmith> More room on the LiveCD images :-)
19:34:01 <rbergeron> lol
19:34:10 <mizmo> more room on livecd images?
19:34:13 <mizmo> how come?
19:34:19 <mizmo> are we sticking with cd or going to dvd?
19:34:32 <rbergeron> Okay. We have left: Translation (unless that got covered), QA, Docs.
19:34:36 <dgilmore> mizmo: we changed compression formats
19:34:43 <jsmith> mizmo: Better compression.
19:34:53 <jsmith> rbergeron: As far as I know, we have no representative from translation/l10n
19:34:55 <sijis> sounds like cd then
19:34:57 <mizmo> ah okay
19:35:45 <rbergeron> #topic Translation
19:35:54 <rbergeron> Does anyone have questions to be sent onwards to the translation folks?
19:36:18 <dgilmore> are they going to be on time
19:36:55 <jsmith> dgilmore: So far, things are looking pretty good.
19:37:09 <dgilmore> thats my only concern
19:37:12 <jsmith> dgilmore: But it's something I'll be keeping a close eye on, and the slip actually helps them more than some other groups.
19:37:44 <dgilmore> jsmith: it means im not going to be able to make them the translation livecd
19:38:08 * rbergeron didn't know we even had a translation livecd
19:38:17 * sijis didnt either
19:38:19 <dgilmore> rbergeron: its in your schedule
19:38:30 <rbergeron> dgilmore: i'm sure it is :)
19:38:30 <dgilmore> its for them to test translations
19:39:02 <sijis> dgilmore: is that something for general users or just for trans group to test their stuff?
19:39:13 <sijis> i dont believe we have that posted on any site.
19:39:17 <dgilmore> sijis: just for them to test
19:39:40 <rbergeron> dgilmore: Create Rel-Eng ticket for Live Image compose for Software Review UI <--- that?
19:41:04 <rbergeron> jsmith: Do you want to talk to trans about that? They had seemed to think that nothing going on was going to affect their schedule.
19:41:06 <sijis> dgilmore: ok.
19:41:17 <dgilmore> Compose of Live Image of Software Review UI for Translation Fri 2011-03-04 Fri 2011-03-04
19:41:17 <jsmith> rbergeron: Will do.
19:41:51 <rbergeron> dgilmore: but that's not something that needs to be done *for* alpha to ship
19:42:08 <dgilmore> rbergeron: nope but i cant do it for them now
19:42:54 <dgilmore> rbergeron: its due just before alpha ships
19:43:08 <dgilmore> which is why im mentioning it
19:43:24 <dgilmore> since the whole schedule has now been moved a week
19:43:24 <rbergeron> dgilmore: I suspect, like the rest of the schedule, it will get pushed out a week.
19:43:40 <rbergeron> So that would make it the 11th
19:43:41 <dgilmore> rbergeron: right which is when im completely unavailaible
19:44:05 <dgilmore> 9-11 ill be completely unavailable
19:44:12 <jsmith> dgilmore: Do you have someone (notting, Oxf13) that can help fill in?
19:44:17 <rbergeron> jsmith: can you work with dgilmore and see if we can find someone to fill in
19:44:20 <rbergeron> yeah, that
19:44:25 <jsmith> WORKSFORME
19:44:25 <dgilmore> jsmith: not really
19:45:15 <rbergeron> Oooookay.
19:45:20 <jsmith> OK, shall we move on?
19:45:23 <rbergeron> yessir.
19:45:31 <rbergeron> #topic Docs
19:45:41 <jsmith> zoglesby: You're up :-)
19:45:55 <zoglesby> yeah!
19:46:14 <zoglesby> We will be ready, we are working on Alpha release notes now
19:46:34 <rbergeron> Awesome.
19:47:06 <zoglesby> we are still working on tx.net stuff, but that will not effect alpha
19:47:14 * rbergeron nods
19:47:22 <rbergeron> Anyone have questions for docs?
19:47:35 <rbergeron> Does docs have questions for others?
19:47:52 <zoglesby> Nope, unless someone is lurking, and has one
19:47:59 <jsmith> zoglesby: And I'll try to help recruit folks to help you with the tx.net scripting for Docs
19:48:12 <zoglesby> jsmith: thanks
19:48:20 <rbergeron> #topic QA
19:48:26 <rbergeron> adamw: yo
19:49:22 <rbergeron> Anyone have any questoins to be relayed to QA?
19:49:27 <rbergeron> Or love and affection?
19:49:49 <jsmith> Just wanted to thank them for their dedication this week -- both to the testing, and to the graphics test days
19:49:54 <rbergeron> +1.
19:50:25 <rbergeron> Okee dokee.
19:50:36 <rbergeron> #topic Any other questions, comments, concerns?
19:50:40 <jsmith> We'll all do what we can to help test the next RC and hopefully be ready for Alpha without any further slips
19:50:56 <red_alert> first we need fixes before we can think about a new RC :)
19:51:50 <jsmith> Of course...
19:52:30 <rbergeron> If there are no further questions, I'd like to thank everyone for coming today. Your presence is much appreciated.
19:52:56 <rbergeron> And with that, I'm going to head to the airport in short order here, and send out meeting notes once I get there.
19:53:09 * rbergeron holds for a few more seconds for anything last minute
19:53:36 * sijis has no questions
19:53:43 <rbergeron> Excellent. Thanks all!
