[kate.stewart] release team meetings - feedback on experiments.
Timing of emails. Question format.
Template - Data for Release Notes/Technical Overview comments - shift to blueprints.
- other changes wanted?
Bugs focused on things you need help from other people.
Major changes should be mailed out by teams directly for wider communication.
Release specific ok as is.
[jibel] summary of last weeks Jenkins reports would be very helpful.
Current status and last fails.
Certification reports mailing -
Dropping a feature? how do we indicate this. - Blueprints marked not done, and after FF exception.
[kate.stewart] freeze state - pad, wiki, experiments. ? queue logging pending.
- we wanted to keep state, collaboratively edited text file.
- possibly need something purpose built for it.
[kate.stewart] milestone build state - pad, ?
if improved tooling, cut down to just the todo critical list.
looking to get a tool that triggers the rebuilds on client side, rather than cut/paste from pad.
