FLP Representation at the Beta Release Readiness Meeting
FLSCo member Noriko Mizumoto represented the FLP in the Project Wise Fedora 12 Beta Readiness meeting held on 14th October 2009[1]. In her report, she thanked the Package Maintainers for responding to the request from FLP to rebuild most of the packages for translation review. Additionally, a number of bugs were filed during the Translation Review and Noriko put forward a request to check the possibility for their correction in Fedora 12 GA. Paul Frields has taken responsibility to take this issue to Bill Nottingham. Noriko also raised concern about the string freeze breaks that happened during this release.
Documentation, Banner, Website translation are scheduled for later dates and Noriko informed that FLP would be communicating with the respective teams accordingly.
The complete log for the meeting is also available[2].
