[Test-Announce] 2011-11-07 @ 15:00 UTC - Fedora QA Meeting

[Adam Williamson]

WHAT: Fedora QA Meeting
WHEN: 15:00 UTC (12:00 EST, 09:00 PST)
WHERE: #fedora-meeting

It's meeting time again! It's the first meeting of the post-Fedora 16
era, so time to dust off anything you've been sitting on through the
release crunch. Also note that clocks went back in North America today,
but we do not change the meeting time, so it may be an hour later for
you now. I don't know where else in the world the clock change happened,
but if it changed for you this weekend, remember the meeting's an hour
later.

If anyone has anything to add to the agenda, please reply to this mail,
and I will add it. Thanks!

Proposed agenda:
* Previous meeting follow-up [1]
* F16 release planning: common bugs, retrospective, etc
* FESCo plan to drop proven tester process
* Fedora 17 pre-planning: anaconda GUI rewrite
* AutoQA update
* Upcoming QA Events
* Open discussion

If you have any suggested topics, feel free to respond to this email or
bring them up during open discussion.

I am sooo confused every time the clock changes. But you were given one extra hour during
the night, and UTC doesn't move, that means the meeting should be one hour earlier for
you. Using the time converter it says 10 AM for New York and 7 AM for Vancouver.

I remember that we always changed our meeting time when summer/winter time was adjusted in
USA. That would imply going for 16:00 UTC during the winter. Hey, I don't complain,
the current situation is better for me. But it might not be ideal for you :)

If there are key characters missing at the meeting today (and provided that my math was
correct), we might delay the meeting for one hour.

Gah. You're right, on all counts. The time change would make the meeting
an hour *earlier* not an hour later, and last year we *did* change it in
winter to 1600 UTC. I was referring to the Wiki page which doesn't
mention this; maybe we should update it.

So following last year's precedent, let's do the meeting at 1600 UTC
until the clocks change again. I'll send out an updated meeting
announcement. Thanks!
