== QA == * Blocker List: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=507676&hide_resolv... ** One remaining issue -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516941 * Installation Testing ** https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_12_Alpha_RC1_Install_Test_Results ** https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_12_Alpha_RC2_Install_Test_Results <-- 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 ** spins.fedoraproject.org ** Need to clarify what we are targeting for Fedora 12 *** F12 -> clean up meat of the get-fedora page and spins page *** Use existing templates on site for the new designs
== Websites == * Looking good
== Ambassadors == * No concrete deliverables for Alpha
