2021-03-15 @ **16:00** UTC - Fedora 34 Blocker Review Meeting

[Adam Williamson]

# F34 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2021-03-15
# Time: **16:00** UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net

Hi folks! We have 3 proposed Beta freeze exception issues, and 5 proposed
Final blockers to review (as of now), so we'll have a Fedora 34 blocker
review meeting tomorrow.

Note that daylight savings time started in most places that observe it
today, so the meeting time in UTC has been changed. If your clocks went
forward this weekend, the meeting time in your local time will be the
same as it was before. If your area does not observe daylight savings,
or starts later, the meeting will be an hour *earlier* in your local
time than it was before. You can use 'date -u' to check the current UTC
time and make sure you head to the meeting at the right time.

If you have time today, 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 F34 can be found on the 
wiki [0].
