proventesters
Jlaska asked the group what tasks remain in order to move forward on defining the proventesters group and workflow.
 * Adam noted that Jkeating may be working several tasks on this front.
 * Jlaska directed those interested in defining providetesters, to provide feedback to maxamillion's email.

Privilege Escalation test
Adamw reminded the group that we've not yet defined test cases to validate the recently approved Privilege_escalation_policy.
 * Adamw felt the first step is to come up with the script to identify privesc-relevant packages.
 * Kparal asked whether these would be automated tests, or tests more like the desktop validation plan. Discussion followed on the appropriate place to automate these
 * The group discussed candidate packages to inspect for polkit changes, including polkit configs, setuid binaries, certain d-bus config files, consolehelper files and pam configs.
 * Adam took action to discuss a privileged package detection script with wwoods

Update Policy Proposals
Kparal clarified that current package update proposals require that deps/conflicts tests occur whenever a package enters updates and updates-testing. Kparal also discussed concerns around AutoQA being a bottleneck for packages.

AutoQA packaging
Adamw asked how AutoQA packaging was progressing.
 * Jlaska noted that packaging wasn't moving, and that a FAD is being planned to help work down the list of java %buildrequires. More information will be sent to [mailto:java-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org] later in the week.
