Could you put that in there? Thanks! Sorry - this mail got filtered in ways that are all sorts of wrong. :( My only concern with the schedule as proposed is that we are essentially doing the Alpha Test Compose prior to Feature Freeze, which is the point where features should be testable. I've popped in the existing dates below, but I just want to point out that I think we know from past experience that a lot of features don't hit their feature freeze deadline until *on the actual deadline*, which means that we are essentially testing a compose of stuff a full week before I expect people to finish procrastinating and getting their stuff done. We still have the actual release candidate after that, but I don't want us to basically pull in a date and find out that it's not helpful because all the breaking pieces get pulled in/finished after the test compose date. Pre-Alpha Rawhide Acceptance Test Plan #1 2012-01-19 Feature Submission Deadline 2012-01-24 Pre-Alpha Rawhide Acceptance Test Plan #2 2012-01-26 Test Alpha 'Test Compose' 2012-01-31 Feature Freeze (Testable|Complete) 2012-02-07 Fedora 17 Alpha Go/No-Go Meeting 2012-02-22 Test Beta 'Test Compose' 2012-03-06 Fedora 17 Beta Go/No-Go Meeting 2012-03-28 Test 'Final' Test Compose (TC) 2012-04-09 Fedora 17 Final Go/No-Go Meeting 2012-05-01 Or it's possible that I'm nuts and it's not worth worrying over. :) We do the Test Compose for Beta a week before Features are required to be at 100%, but of course, they should already be testable/complete at alpha, so the breakage scenario in Beta is far smaller, theoretically. -r -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
