== F8 Test1 Freeze coming up ==
 * builds from devel/ continue to get auto-tagged with 'dist-f8'.  To 
get them into the test release they are manually tagged with 'f8-test1'. 
 'dist-rawhide' is pointed at 'f8-test1' during the freeze. 
Post-freeze 'dist-rawhide' is redirected to 'dist-f8' and life continues.
 * Freeze starts tomorrow (2007-07-24)
 * The typical workings that releng does during a freeze is thus:
    1. tag build(s) for freeze tag (f8-test1)
    1. sign build(s)
    1. mash freeze tag
    1. pungi / livecd-tools runs
    1. test
    1. wash, rinse, repeat
 * status of things with KDE4
   * on hold, looks like kde4 release schedule will be delayed, at 
least month, so we'll likely miss f8
 * How many of the F8 features are actually read to test in test1?
   * poelcat will:
     1. create list of features that are close to 100% completion
     1. ping feature owners to see if there are special testing needs 
for F8Test1
 * wwoods created a f8test1 tracker bug--alias is "F8Test1"
 * bugs for F8 Test1 will have a separate entry in bugzilla
   * f13 will get it created

== Next status meeting ==
 * Thursday (2007-07-26) after FESCo
