http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-14/f-14-releng-tasks.html
is probably the best place, which was linked to from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Schedule
The list only memtions the Tc, but nether TC1 and TC2 not the fact that
TC2 does not include live media.

That's still something that needs testing, needs a testing plan, needs
coordination. Not something that can easily be slapped together in the
less than one week since the concept became visible here.
What is there to test for a boot menu? What would a test plan look like.
Boot all menu entries and you are done.

You need to speak to Fedora legal to figure out what your obligations are.
I have written them but no reply so far.

All the other things the project produces are made available on the
website in binary form, alongside the source. It is not clear to me if
your combined media set will be made available online in any way.

Is there anything unclear about it?
It is
not clear to me if a binary aggregate of all the spins can be satisfied
by the sources we have online. It is not clear to me what method of
GPLv2 source obligations you will be using when distributing these
binary offerings.
This sounds a little vague to me. Can you please outline your concerns a
little deeper? AFAICS they apply to the other spins too as they also
have a boot menu.
What is the difference between shipping 8 single media and one dual
layer DVD? The only difference is the boot menu.
Please correct me if I'm wrong,
Christoph
