== Goals of this meeting ==
o Make sure we are all aware of the tasks that need to be completed for
for a successful Alpha release
o Make sure that everyone has what they need from other groups
o Meeting for no more than one hour
o NOT make policy decisions or set new directions for Fedora, etc. All
those things should continue to happen in the individual teams in their
usual transparent manner
== Release Engineering ==
o Everything looking good
--in better shape than usual due to longer freezes and diligence to
get rawhide installable each day
o Pre-staging master mirror and should be ready today
o Next create RC for liveimages
o Owning creation of the alpha release announcement
== Quality ==
o Things are looking good
o PPC looking questionable--not sure if it will work or not; this will
not block the release
o Will is working on getting a central place that collects reports from
community as to whether rawhide installs successfully on a given day
== FESCo ==
o ext4 default file system
--going to revisit after alpha and beta to make sure functionality is
solid and no data corruption issues
o Seeking status for Presto
--Spot will track this down
== Ambassadors & Documentation ==
o Release notes one page is ready
o https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Alpha_release_notes
o Docs team will own the release announcement for the following releases
going forward:
--Beta
--Preview
--Final (GA)
== Infrastructure ==
o Everything in infrastructure looks good
o Quick check with release engineering on sizing
--Release Engineering reports needing ~60 gigs
o Working with Red Hat IT to upgrade Netapp filers
--This won't happen until March 2009 at the earliest
--space constraints may be a problem in the future
--Release Engineering noted that all Fedora 7 and 8 material can be
purged
== Translation ==
o No translatable items for the Alpha
o Things going well
== Websites Team ==
o Need to obtain alpha banner from Art team
o Need links and content on http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease
--points to Fedora 10 content
o Need to add link to http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease from
http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora
== Paul Frields ==
o Working on getting alpha talking points in place--focal point of press
interviews
== Spot Callaway ==
o Need to do ambitious triage during test releases
o Need to have a regular working anaconda or prewarn people when
possible that it will not be working
--Spot to talk with anaconda team
o Identified high priority components to triage (bug triage team is
working on a similar effort):
--components put forth by Spot, Jesse, and Will included:
--kernel, *xorg*, firefox, evolution, nautilus, kdebase, kdelibs,
gtk, gnome-libs, anaconda, selinux-policy-*, NetworkManager, PackageKit,
yum, rpm, gdm, plymouth, firstboot, and upstart
--there are probably others
--Jon Stanley volunteered to create an RSS feed to automatically
query new rawhide bugs for these components
--John Poelstra to help organize tracker triage days going forward
== Not Discussed ==
o After the meeting John Poelstra filed an RFE with infrastructure to
make these meetings publicly accessible in the future
