Revamping the Release Readiness meeting
by Ben Cotton 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

(Posting to many mailing lists for visibility. I apologize if you see this more times than you'd like.) You may have already seen my Community Blog post[1] about changing the Release Readiness meeting process. The meeting has questionable value in the current state, so I want to make it more useful. We'll do this by having teams self-report readiness issues on a dedicated wiki page[2] beginning now. This gives the community time to chip in and help with areas that need help without waiting until days before the release. I invite teams to identify a representative to keep the wiki page up to date. Update it as your status changes and I'll post help requests in my weekly CommBlog posts[3] and the FPgM office hours[4] IRC meeting. The Release Readiness meeting will be shortened to one hour and will review open concerns instead of polling for teams that may or may not be there. We will use the logistics mailing list[5] to discuss issues and make announcements, so I encourage representatives to join this list.

Re: a special Fedora spin
by Ben Cotton 03 Mar '20

Hi Vojtech, I don't have an answer for your questions, so I have copied the Release Engineering team who can give you the answers you need. I love this spin idea, and am happy to help in whatever way I can.
