= Attendees =

jlaska, poelcat, rjune_wrk, stickster, jeff_hann

= https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516941 =
State: MODIFIED

Anyone using the radeon driver is asked to help verify the fix against
kernel-2.6.31-0.145.2.1.rc5.git3.fc12.

= https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517171 =
State: MODIFIED

Anaconda-12.15 did not arrive in last nights rawhide, so QA is unable to
verify the fix for this issue.  

= https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517475 =
State: NEW

The group was not able to reach a conclusion.  Several people questioned
whether a downstream project should block the Alpha.  Another concern
reflected the number of Alpha testers impacted by the geode failure.

== UPDATES ==

SMOLT geode stats -

After discussing with Jkeating, the proposed rpm patch is limited to
geode and does not appear to affect other platforms (see
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-June/msg01641.html).  Jkeating felt the bug was worth addressing to unblock OLPC/XO testers using the Alpha.  Jlaska expressed concern why this patch hadn't been applied yet, but indicated the issue was a 'nice to have' for the alpha.

= Action items =

[jlaska] - follow-up in bug#517 with additional information

= Open discussion =

== Verifying MODIFIED bugs ==

poelcat asked what the recommended practice was for monitoring what bugs
need testing.  Jlaska indicated he was asking QA folks to keep an eye on
MODIFIED bugs on the blocker list.  Additionally, there is a
NEEDSRETESTING keyword available.

== Rawhide install test run ==

Jlaska provided results from a test run initiated by lili and rhe last
night against rawhide.  This provides a more recent snapshot of
installer status with anaconda-12.14 (see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_12_Alpha_TCRegression_Install_Test_Results).  No new alpha blockers have been escalated from this testing.

Thanks,
James
