Release status of the Fedora 29 Beta is NO-GO.
Due to in-progress RC2 for the F29 Beta release and presence of
blocker bugs, the decision is “No Go”. The Beta release slips for one
week to “Target #1” date (September 25th)[1]. We are not going to slip
the Final GA yet.
For more information please check the minutes from the F29 Beta
Go/No-Go meeting [2].
The next Go/No-Go meeting will be held Thursday, 2018-09-20 at 1700
UTC in #fedora-meeting-1.

Dear all,
Join us tomorrow on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-1 for the
Fedora 29 Beta Release Readiness meeting.
We will meet to make sure we are coordinated and ready for the Beta
release of Fedora 29. Please note that this meeting will be held even
if the release is delayed at the Go/No-Go meeting on the same day two
hours earlier.
You may receive this message several times in order to open this
meeting to the teams and to raise awareness, so hopefully more team
representatives will come to this meeting. This meeting works best
when we have representatives from all of the teams.

I will ask for readiness from each of the teams listed below. If there
are additional teams that should be explicitly included, let me know.
