Hi,
sorry I couldn't attend. The meeting got delayed and I'd had to leave
before it started.
        
Ambassadors are ready for the release. There are quite a few release
parties scheduled: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F18_release_events
What complicates our work is big uncertainty when F18 will be released.
AFAIK we won't make the 8th and there are several parties schedules
right after that. I think their organizers should know ASAP the new
release date to reschedule the parties.
        
What I'd like to ask for is building ISOs for multidesktop and 32/64bit
installation DVDs ASAP after F18 is declared gold. We need to deliver
F18 media to ambassadors ASAP to get them to release parties, every day
matters and this time we decided to let QA test the ISOs which will add
1-2 more days to the process. Having the ISOs available as soon as they
can be built would be great.
