TOPIC: Previous meeting follow-up
=======================================================================
	* "adamw to push the sanity check proposal out, group seems to
	  approve" - this was done[1]
	* "adamw to check F19 and F18 commonbugs for issues that should
	  be copied to F20" - this was done, and F19 commonbugs cleaned
	  up a bit 

TOPIC: FedUp post-mortem
=======================================================================
	* There was a SNAFU with fedup on release day: fedup 0.8 was
	  still in updates-testing for F18 and F19 on the day of
	  release, and it turned out upgrades to F20 with fedup 0.7 and
	  the release upgrade.img do not work
	* Upgrades with 0.8 work fine, this was communicated via Common
	  Bugs[2] and various other means
	* adamw changed the fedup test cases to recommend testing
	  latest stable fedup (instead of updates-testing) against the
	  current TC/RC tree (not development/ tree)
	* It was noted by multiple parties that short RC lifetime is an
	  invitation to issues like the thinp and fedup bugs 

TOPIC: Storage validation
=======================================================================

	* Storage validation planning continues on list, there seems to
	  be broad agreement to try and cover guided partitioning
	  extensively and custom with a small(ish) 'must work' matrix
	  and a larger 'bonus credit' matrix
	* cmurf was working on a mail to anaconda list proposing a
	  restriction on the breadth of custom partitioning coverage 

TOPIC: Open floor
=======================================================================
	* roshi and danofsatx working on a draft[3] for an improved
	  onboarding process
	* cmurf suggests working with docs folks to highlight
	  'recommended' custom layouts 

Action items
=======================================================================
	* adamw to send fedup/thinp post-mortem email
