!!! ALL-CAPS RED-ALERT OMG LOL !!!
Fedora 16 Alpha test compose is less than *one* week away (Jul 26) and
F16 Alpha isn't far behind (Aug 10 for go/no_go meeting) [2]. This is
the difficult transition from the chaos of rawhide, to a releasable
Alpha. To have any hope of shipping F16 Alpha on time ... we need to
identify as many Alpha criteria [3] blockers as possible, which means
rawhide test feedback is needed.
!!! ALL-CAPS RED-ALERT OMG LOL !!!
Mark your calendars ... the second 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
