= Release Meetings DRAFT =

In order to sanely coordinate our releases, we should have regular release meetings. These meetings should be at least weekly, possibly semiweekly near the end of freeze cycles.

Time: TBD, pending approval of required attendees

Attendees: Representatives from:


 * Fedora Release Engineering
 * Fedora QA
 * Fedora Docs
 * Fedora L10N
 * Fedora Infrastructure
 * Representatives of major subsystems of Fedora
 * Kernel
 * GNOME
 * KDE
 * others?
 * Other attendees as requested. These would generally be representatives for particular features or subprojects that need discussed. (Example: someone from LiveCD, or someone working on TeX.)

Agenda: Including, but not limited to:


 * Freeze status and schedules
 * Test status of current trees
 * Blocking bugs
 * Potential slips
 * Feature status
 * Coordination of subgroups (handoff of release notes to rel-eng, for example)

Reports from these meetings would be made to FESCo, and to the Fedora board.
