[Test-Announce] 2011-07-15 @ 17:00 UTC - F16 Alpha blocker bug review #1

[James Laska]

# F16 Alpha Blocker Review meeting #1
# Date: 2011-07-15
# Time: 17:00 UTC [1] (13:00 EDT, 10:00 PDT, 10:00 MST)
# Location: #fedora-bugzappers on irc.freenode.net

Hard to believe, but the "vacation" is over.  Fedora 16 Alpha test
compose is a few weeks away (Jul 26) and the Alpha is about a month away
(Aug 10 for go/no_go meeting).  

In an effort to reduce last minute bug scramble, the blocker review
meetings will be starting up again [2].  Each Friday, between now and
the Alpha release, a blocker review will take place in
#fedora-bugzappers.  

Mark your calendars ... the first Alpha blocker review meeting starts at
17:00 UTC in #fedora-bugzappers.  We'll review proposed and accepted F16
Alpha blocker bugs.  An updated list of blocker bugs is available at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers (also attached
to this mail).  We'll be reviewing the bugs to determine ...
     1. whether they meet the Alpha release criteria [3] and should stay
        on the list
     2. are getting the attention they need

For guidance on Blocker and Nice-to-have (NTH) bugs, refer to
