Just wanted to check if that was established yet. Thanks for the details. 15:29:07 itamar: Yeah, I would say so. 15:29:10 only question is do we branch on beta build, and backport only critical bug fixes 15:29:40 itamar: if we want to ship it soon, that's the way 15:30:01 itamar: yes, branch now, build beta from the branches, and only backport critical fixes 15:30:52 then i suggest we send an email beta will be on say, monday, branches for relevant projects branches should be taken 15:32:15 itamar: ok, makes sense 15:32:29 mburns: test day? 15:33:03 mgoldboi: either wednesday next week, or monday the week after? 15:33:19 mburns: i think we had a volunteer for organizing it right? 15:33:41 mgoldboi: i don't think... 15:34:12 * mgoldboi wonders if anyone can pick this glove 15:35:24 monday week after some of us are traveling to ovirt workshop in sunneyvale, but wednesday may be too soon if we build on monday beta, need to pass sanity before inviting all for test day 15:36:14 itamar: right, i'm travelling that day too... 15:36:57 itamar: maybe make it thursday the following week when we have the breakout day for the workshop 15:37:17 (24th) 15:38:12 #info beta branch for all packages due by Monday January 14 15:38:26 #info beta posted by Tuesday Jan 15?

15:42:17 IE7 15:42:34 karimb, then yes - the JavaScript engine in IE7 is very slow 15:43:02 sgordon, and there s no known workaround around it? 15:43:17 ok, community organized test day 15:43:45 mgoldboi: any other updates from the engine side? 15:43:57 karimb, not really - the webadmin portal makes extensive use of GWT and therefore JavaScript - i think we recommend at *least* IE8 preferably higher 15:44:07 mgoldboi: nothing in particular 15:44:14 sgordon, ok... 15:44:16 ok 15:44:38 anything else from the release standpoint?

15:47:36 I want to avoid another slip but Feb 6 is a pretty big slip. 15:48:04 No particular preference. 15:48:05 Jan 30 is just before FOSDEM, which would be nice 15:48:26 Any holidays to worry about? 15:48:35 nothing in the US 15:48:58 itamar1: Any upcoming holidays in IL that could interfere with a release? 15:49:09 aglitke1: election day in israel, nothing other than it 15:49:10 Thinking either Jan 30 or Feb 6 15:49:34 mburns: let's push to jan 30 15:49:56 works for me 15:50:00 any objections?
