== Alpha ==
  * Tuesday the bit gets flipped
  * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/9/AlphaTreeTesting is the test 
status page

== Reversing the netapp streams ==
  * scheduled for today--we're working on pushing it back after the alpha
  * change setup so that the content we generate in PHX can be put on a 
netapp in PHX
    * instead of rsynced to RDU to be put on a netapp in RDU, and then 
mirrored by netapp back out to PHX
  * this will result in shorter times between compose and visible to the 
world for things like rawhide and updates
  * may delay the rawhide/updates for a bit

== gcc 4.3 ==
  * gcc4.3 is in the buildroots for dist-f9 now, and some fallout has 
happened, namely kernel.
  * striving to complete a mass rebuild before beta release

== perl-5.10.0 ==
  * Feature page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Perl510
  * 300 perl dependent packages as a sample set
    * these packages were the base for which virtually all of the other 
perl dependent packages depend on
    * out of those 300 about 60 more to build
    * once complete the plan is to merge the new perl and the rebuilt 
bits into rawhide
  * Fedora is the place where perl-5.10 was really first tested/used and 
the development ground for getting all the upstreams ported to the new perl
