  * Spin owners must check in with testing before the go / no go date or
    risk having spin dropped  (Oxf13, 17:37:44)
  * A slip of the release will reset the spin go / no go date as well
    and give MIA spin owners an extension  (Oxf13, 17:38:05)
  * In case of a slip, if the updated packages are not on a spin, a
    re-test will not be needed  (Oxf13, 17:38:25)
  * All releng requires is that testing be done.  The amount of testing
    is to be determined by QA and the spin owners  (Oxf13, 17:38:49)
  * releng will communicate to spin owners when RC phase starts, and
    when new packages are needed beyond nightly compose for future RCs
    (Oxf13, 17:39:26)

* dist-git  (Oxf13, 17:40:48)
  * Users can now use dist-git and fedpkg for cloning, committing,
    pushing, and building in koji.stg  (Oxf13, 17:41:15)
  * oxf13 feels that we are pretty close to required functionality for
    initial roll out  (Oxf13, 17:41:36)

    (Oxf13, 17:49:41)
