** next steps to setup & configure a test instance and incorporate live
data
* [adamw] - intel test day was a success, we're hoping to have an intel
follow up later before f11's release, to test fixes for the issues
identified at the first event 
* [jlaska] - DeviceKit test day was successful in identifying several
key bugs, but the event did not have the level of participation we hoped
for.

* Beta is scheduled for availability 03/24, which means it needs to
begin pushing to mirrors on 03/20 (Fri)
* A lot of concern around whether we have enough information to say that
F-11-Beta is generally installable
** f13 noted that ''if I don't get a golden tree in the form of
tomorrow's rawhide, I think we slip. ''
** f13 and jlaska expressed concern about the bugs that haven't yet been
filed (due to blocker issues)

* jlaska asked ''what information do you need to make a slip vs no slip
recommendation?''
** f13 replied ''a what works, vs what doesn't work, vs what hasn't been
tested ''
** adamw offered assistance from the BugZappers team (iarly) in
reviewing the 42 '''NEW''' bugs to identify which issues should be noted
on the F11Beta blocker bug list
** jlaska will send out a request for installation test results focused
around autopart using existing Linux, autopart using free space,
autopart using entire disk, all of those + encryption

cats)
