== Executive Summary ==

* f13 to create tag and start signing packages on 17-APR-07
* start of continuous freeze until Fedora 7 goes GOLD
* potential checkins for F8 starting in June (assuming all goes well)

before it'll get included in:
a. Rawhide
a. the final release.
* Eventually need documentation surrounding the freeze and distro
build process
1. Merge of extras and core
* will not delay F7
* will most likely not be completed until after F7
* held up because of equipment needed in the colo
* post-merge some packages will need to be rebuilt to pick up deps
that used to be in Extras
1. In the future we should consider a mass rebuild of all packages
around, but no later than test2
1. Still working on increasing build capacity
1. Discussion of Features
* incomplete features at this stage of the release will be dropped
* incomplete features will not block the release
* poelcat will go ping feature owners and update the wiki
* Unclear whether codecbuddy is in or out: controversy over whether
it should block the release or not
* Known feature which are OUT: boot/shutdown, customdistro (as
written) fix wakeups, newinit, syslogng, texlive
* Known feature which are IN: fast-user-switching, fds, everything,
kde, prime, targeted spins, firewire, libata, livecd, nouveau, rpm/yum,
wireless, tickless, pungi, firmware, smolt
1. wwoods reported on the state of the trees + discussion of important
areas needing testing

* automated testing is being conducted using KATE
* SNAKE scheduled for release around May 3

1. wwoods will write the test4 announcement which will include known
problems, newly added features, and upgrade issues
1. Blocker bugs
* Blocker bugs are best effort; not *all* blocker bugs must be
fixed to go GA
* Blocker bug criteria:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/ReleaseCriteria
* F7 blocker bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=150226 is
the big blocker for FC7
* F7T4 blocker bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=F7Test4
1. Potential schedule slips
* none known at this time
1. Open discussion
* cdrkit
* need to decide what to do with it
* Extras vs. Core and when to merge
* wwoods "I got confirmation from the bluez maintainer that the
firmware is freely redistributable (although non-modifiable), just like
the intel firmware"
1. Next Release Engineering Meeting
* Thursday 19-APR-07 at 18:00 UTC (14:00 EDT)
* Coordination of sub-groups
* Test4 status
* When should we branch for F8?
