(I had a dream!) 16:54:17 <leuhmanu> np, I will ping tonight 16:54:25 <coincoin> leuhmanu: on release_blockers bugs, perhaps we can add a 'qa' keyword or the QA in CC. WDT ? 16:54:47 <leuhmanu> If you want, but why ? 16:55:17 <coincoin> to have ppl in the QA check if bug is still here or not if reporter does not answer any more 16:55:22 <coincoin> +ing 16:55:46 <leuhmanu> putting QA in the whiteboard it ok ? 16:56:47 <coincoin> yes, let's try this way... 16:57:19 <coincoin> #action leuhmanu will add QA in the whiteboard of release_blockers bug to see if QA can help 16:58:50 <coincoin> an other thing I think we should thought about: an inventory of the HW of QA ppl to know "who own X or Y". It will help to know which ppl we can ask to reproduce an HW bug. 16:59:19 <coincoin> it joins the issue reported as an example by obgr_seneca before. 17:00:06 <obgr_seneca> coincoin: there is a wiki page for that 17:00:45 <coincoin> obgr_seneca: yes but a tool like GLPI or * could be better I think to search easily and mail ppl 17:01:05 <obgr_seneca> glpi? 17:01:47 <coincoin> http://www.glpi-project.org/spip.php?lang=en 17:01:49 <Magbot> [ GLPI - Gestionnaire libre de parc informatique ] 17:07:12 <coincoin> ok, we will see next time :� 17:09:52 <coincoin> so, anything else to add on alpha3? 17:11:16 <obgr_seneca> when will the first isos be available? 17:12:48 <coincoin> I think not before tomorrow noon. ennael, any ETA? 17:13:11 <ennael> tomorrow 17:13:21 <ennael> I had 16/01 in mind for release 17:13:25 <ennael> ... 17:13:25 <obgr_seneca> ok 17:13:40 <coincoin> 16/01 is in all our mind :� 17:14:14 <obgr_seneca> releasing an alpha the day Mdv might get lost (or not) would be in bad taste 17:14:29 <coincoin> :) 17:14:34 <ennael> sure 17:16:12 <coincoin> nothing else to add for my part. anybody else? 17:18:50 <coincoin> ok, so, thank you to attend this meeting 17:18:53 <coincoin> #endmeeting
