[Test-Announce] 2015-01-07 @ 1600 UTC ** Fedora 22 Blocker Review Meeting

[Mike Ruckman]

# First F22 Blocker Review meeting
# Date: 2015-01-07
# Time: 16:00 UTC
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net

While it's not the usual time to start blocker reviews, after much
deliberation at today's QA meeting, it was decided to start the blocker
review process earlier than usual. With that being decided, we're going
to get started this week!

The other change to the blocker review process: we're going to start
going through all the remaining milestones for a release. The thought is
that this will keep bugs from piling up, which gives developers and QA
more time to code and test (respectively). Hopefully this will lessen
the number of really long blocker review meetings.

If we happen to have a bunch of blockers that we can't get through in
one meeting, we'll try to schedule another during the week to get
through them. Currently we have 3 Alpha, 2 Beta and 3 Final proposed
Blockers and 4 proposed Alpha Freeze Exceptions.

If you want to take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers, the full
list can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/

Make sure to click through the milestones to see how many we have before
the meeting!

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 F22 can be found on the
wiki [0].

I added the meetings to our QA calendar:
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/QA/

Anyone can add this calendar to his or her calendar application by using this iCal link:
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/ical/QA/

And due to this, I realized I can't attend these meetings until Feb 11, it collides
with my other activities.

So, either you need to get by without me (no hurt feelings here;)), or we need to
reschedule it to a different day. I talked to Petr and Mondays after the regular QA
meeting (17:00-20:00 UTC) would be fine for us, it would be just a single evening occupied
instead of two evenings taken per week. For US people, it would be one hour later, which
is also a benefit.

Sorry to realize all of this after the announcement went out. Shame on me.

I think that could work fine (for me at least) - perhaps we can test it
out next week? Or throw the idea on the QA meeting agenda if there isn't
enough response here on list?

The Monday post-meeting slot works for me.
