# F42 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2025-02-24 # Time: 17:00 UTC # Location: https://matrix.to/#/#blocker-review:fedoraproject.org?web-instance%5Belement...
Hi folks! It's time for a Fedora 42 blocker review meeting! We have 8 proposed blockers and 7 proposed freeze exceptions for Beta, and 2 proposed blockers for Final.
Here is a handy link which should show you the meeting time in your local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Fedora+41+Blocker+...
The meeting will be on Matrix. Click the link above to join in a web client - you can authenticate with your FAS account - or use a dedicated client of your choosing.
If you have time this weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ .
Remember, you can also now vote on bugs outside of review meetings! If you look at the bug list in the blockerbugs app, you'll see links labeled "Vote!" next to all proposed blockers and freeze exceptions. Those links take you to tickets where you can vote. https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review has instructions on how exactly you do it. We usually go through the tickets shortly before the meeting and apply any clear votes, so the meeting will just cover bugs where there wasn't a clear outcome in the ticket voting yet. **THIS MEANS IF YOU VOTE NOW, THE MEETING WILL BE SHORTER!**
We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F42 can be found on the wiki [0].

P.S. fun fact: every single Fedora 41 blocker meeting announcement said "F10" in the first line because I typoed the edit from 40 to 41, and nobody noticed...
