Meeting summary
---------------
* Init  (jwb, 18:00:36)

* Overview  (jwb, 18:04:19)
  * F14 is approaching EOL, so focus is on security bugs or low-hanging
    fruit  (jwb, 18:06:12)
  * F15 has 459 bugs open, mostly in suspend/backlight/acpi issues
    (jwb, 18:11:49)
  * IDEA: Possibly do a targeted F15 kernel bug day  (jwb, 18:12:05)
  * New abrt update should help with improved reports  (jwb, 18:13:41)
  * Will update F15 to 2.6.40.7 when 3.0.7 stable release comes out.
    Stay on -stable until just after F16 is released  (jwb, 18:16:07)
  * ACTION: jwb will work on sending the small set of F15 patches to the
    stable maintainers where applicable  (jwb, 18:16:57)
  * F15 will likely stay with the 2.6.4x naming scheme until EOL (e.g.
    2.6.41 for 3.1, etc)  (jwb, 18:21:27)
  * ACTION: davej will work on patch to lower impact of gpu lockup bugs
    and try to get upstream  (davej, 18:22:55)
  * F16 has a small number of bugs.  Nothing particularly block-worthy.
    Expect more after release  (jwb, 18:25:47)
  * Rawhide isn't being focused on much due to F16.  Some of the bugs in
    rawhide are likely present in F16 as well and should get assigned
    back to f16 as they are found.  (jwb, 18:32:09)
  * Biggest change pending for rawhide is possibly creating a lesser
    used module subpackage  (jwb, 18:32:56)

* Q&A/Open  (jwb, 18:35:41)
  * IDEA: Possibly build kernel and kernel-vanilla in rawhide  (jwb,
    18:46:18)

Meeting ended at 18:51:45 UTC.
