Not the quality I would want, but we are getting there 23:10:48 <jjmcd> I have begun conveting those beats I think are done 23:11:02 <jjmcd> I don't have a draft build anywhere public, but they are in git 23:11:12 <jjmcd> Now, here's the problem 23:11:16 * jsmith listens 23:11:20 <jjmcd> and the slip doesn't help enough 23:11:34 <jjmcd> The week of May 16 is the National Level Exercise 23:12:04 <jjmcd> I can't say for sure what I will be doing when, but that week and the week or two before I can be pretty confident I won't be workling on Fedora 23:12:13 <jjmcd> Of course, that is when the RPM needs to get built 23:12:30 <jjmcd> Now, the slip does buy us something 23:12:44 <jjmcd> We have time for someone else to make the beta RPM with my guidance 23:13:07 <jsmith> String freeze will be on the 9th of May, so that should (mostly) free you up, excepting zero-day updates, right? 23:13:37 <jjmcd> Well, we got string freeze, then L10N goes to work, then when they are done we make the RPM 23:13:52 <jjmcd> Actually, we make the RPM when the schedule says and take what L10N has 23:14:24 <jjmcd> So that would be May 10 the RPM goes to RC 23:14:38 <zoglesby> jjmcd: I should be able to help for the final, but the next 2 weeks I will be moving and I am not sure how much I will be able to do 23:14:50 <zoglesby> jjmcd: you have good instructions on the wiki right? 23:14:57 <jjmcd> I doubt it 23:15:03 <jjmcd> Well, I;m sure there are some 23:15:13 <jjmcd> but as far as I know, nobody else has tested them 23:15:42 <jjmcd> You don't know what you missed until someone else does it 23:15:56 <zoglesby> jjmcd: indeed 23:15:57 <jjmcd> It isn't like it is real hard 23:16:06 <jjmcd> Heck, it isn't even all that time-consuming 23:16:37 <jjmcd> Its just that nobody else has done it in quite a while 23:16:54 <jjmcd> A *LOT* has changed since the last time stickster_afk did a complete buils 23:17:01 <zoglesby> jjmcd: do you know the date we need to make the beta rpm by? 23:17:04 <jjmcd> he has done a few tweaks, 23:17:20 <jjmcd> Looks like Apr 7 or so 23:17:29 <jjmcd> Prolly a day or two before 23:17:48 <jjmcd> Needs to be in updates-candidate by apr 7 23:18:30 <zoglesby> okay, I will get up with you that week and take some good notes 23:18:35 <jjmcd> And that means it needs to get through Koji 23:19:16 <jjmcd> I'll go through it a time or two and check out the instructions 23:19:17 <nb> oh 23:19:20 <nb> i forgot about the meeting 23:19:56 * rbergeron notes that the schedule is getting pushed out a week, if that helps anyone out. 23:20:00 <rbergeron> beta and final. 23:20:03 <rbergeron> (sometime tonight) 23:20:09 <nb> jjmcd, if we get 3 people around, we can get it through koji quick 23:20:09 <zoglesby> jjmcd: I expect to be fully operational again by April 1st 23:20:10 <jjmcd> rbergeron, jsmith just mentioned that 23:20:15 <rbergeron> ah, okay. 23:20:24 <jjmcd> nb, yeah 23:20:31 <rbergeron> i didn't see that, just thought i'd throw that out there :) 23:20:33 <jjmcd> But they;re never there when you need them 23:20:34 <rudi> Thanks rbergeron :) 23:20:34 <jsmith> rbergeron: I'm trying to get the word out :-) 23:20:42 <rbergeron> jsmith: word :) 23:21:21 <jjmcd> ANd actually, I will be out of town 18-22 to boot 23:21:26 <jjmcd> of May 23:22:11 <jjmcd> The good news is that I thought I was going to be away tomorrow 23:22:25 <jjmcd> But they haven't plowed yet so I don't think I'm going anywhere 23:23:41 <jsmith> jjmcd: Yay! 23:24:00 <jjmcd> hehe -yeah.
