https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20130225 . Thanks!

TOPIC: Automatic blocker proposal
=======================================================================
	* The proposal[1] was generally approved of by the group
	* It was agreed to add Andre's suggestions and more strongly
	  emphasize other bugs cannot be made automatic blockers

TOPIC: Blocker review process
=======================================================================
	* Limiting meetings to 3 hours and separating blocker review
	  from QA meetings on Mondays seemed to work well during F18
	  cycle
	* viking-ice proposed using a dedicated channel for blocker
	  review meetings instead of -qa or -bugzappers
	  * tflink and kparal had concerns about having another channel
	    to monitor, but adamw and viking pointed out this would
	    mean not needing to use -bugzappers any more

TOPIC: Open floor
=======================================================================
	* viking-ice wondered whether the nightly images were worth the
	  effort of building: nirik said that building them is not much
	  effort, and adamw and others said they were aware of some
	  testing being done on them
	* viking-ice suggested we have a basic smoke test matrix that
	  all spins must go through at least once before being promoted
	  as part of a final release
	  * cwickert said he had made a similar proposal before and
	    supported the idea

ACTION ITEMS
=======================================================================
	* adamw to write a second draft (of the automatic blocker
	  proposal) with andre's proposed changes and stronger
	  explanation not to put 'grey area' bugs in the automatic
	  blocker list
	* adamw to draft up changes to the blocker bug meeting SOP for
	  3-hour hard limit, no-reviews-during-qa-meetings, and a
	  dedicated channel for meetings, send to list for further
	  discussion
	* viking-ice to discuss the 'smoke test for spins' idea further
	  with nirik and cwickert
