<-- INPROGRESS -->
** respin for jigdo
* Xorg
** Looks pretty good
** Big one was server+nouveau breakage, but both cleared now
** intel+nouveau are in better shape than f11, probably
** tracking a possible breakage in 3D acceleration on radeon, but basic
functionality looks OK
* Common bugs page is up and ready to go
** https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs
* no known major breakage in any other critical path components
== Release engineering ==
* Why an RC2
** There's a limited amount of disk space on the spin host; can't have
unlimited number of composed stuff there
** Had to scrub compose tree, but needed it and the ISOs for jigdo content
** Shuffling is annoying, but it's under control now and the RC2 is
pre-staged to master mirror
** Need to investigate more disk space in the future
== Marketing ==
Short version: we're good.
Long version:
We aren't being blocked by any other teams for Alpha, nor (to my
knowledge) are we blocking any other teams.
We are on track for our schedule:
http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/f-12-marketing-tasks.html
...and you can see active tasks and their (up-to-date as of yesterday
afternoon) status at https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/report/3.
Starting work on talking points and feature profiles. Working to get Fedora
Insight up and running; tight time line, but it looks like we can do it.
== Infrastructure ==
* Everything in good shape
* Meeting upcoming for all remaining details
== Documentation ==
* Looking good, just spinning up for start of release notes process now
== Translation ==
* Looking for feedback on ticket to FESCo
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/243
== Design ==
* Figured out default wallpaper and looking forward to refreshing on Friday
* Overall website design for Fedora 12
** get.fedoraproject.org
