• Make another schedule assessment next Monday
• Jared - planning on going onto final release steps for 0.6.1 today - some impact on QA resources
• Cosmo QA sessions planned for Wed and Friday

Desktop

• Today is the localization freeze date

• We can declare this milestone done - Philippe will send email out about this
• Bug count - need to do a big bug scrub - only 36 P1 and P2s

Code complete date and

Launch plan

• Wanted to get people's thoughts on the launch plan
• Katie: We could think of OSCON as a first step in the launch plan. We need to think of what wiki stuff needs to be ready. First event that is happening to get people engaged.
• Mimi: Launch card - has heard back from most people about tagline. Last call going out today so please respond.
• Jared: Put some more attention to the web presence post preview.
• Sheila: Talk about everyone engaging on the users list - not just PPD.
• Jared: Some questions about what the launch posts look like. We should come up with a first draft early. To make sure we get the right tone.
• Bear: Doing some wiki stuff after launch shows continual progress
• Philippe: Contacting some of the blogger and demo'ing the product. Should we approach these people? We would need to make sure our content and message is clear first.
• Mimi: Will we get our point across better from talking to people or blogging. Probably we need to do both. We can take the first step and write about this.
• Need a gentle ramp up on the message.
• Important for everyone to respond on users list and IRC (and other mailing lists).
• Next actions
  • Make the plan a bit more concrete - Ted
  • What are the minimums we need to have as far as the wiki is concerned - launch page and blog? Explicit about artifacts that we absolutely need and when.

Plan for updating QA sharing

• We had some conversations about the Cosmo release meeting about plan for QA sharing and QA Cosmo and how they get updated
• Katie will do an OSCON presentation - running locally on her machine
• In support of this we will move QASharing to some release candidate - proposal is 2 weeks from now (one week before OSCON)
• Aparna not sure how we will be doing by then. We need to have done more integration tests.
• Need to add this to the Preview countdown - upgrade QA sharing to 0.7 (some RC)
• Bug number 9833 - add this to the Preview countdown page.

OSCON

• Identified that we need to have the launch page up.
• Need to clarify all the other wiki requirements.
• OSCON goals need to be added to Preview countdown page.

Wiki/URL stuff

• Landing page
• Download page - conversation to happen on list. Iron out issues that Bear brought up.
• Get involved vs developer vs community
• Product FAQ - logged a bug for Ted to write up directions for publishing to Cosmo server.
• Cosmo help
  • Cosmo has already had release specific help and PPD was planning to just have a consolidated FAQ.
  • There would be documentation specific to a particular release.
  • We can have a separate conversation about this in the release meeting on
• Mimi doesn't understand how the landing page url will be different from the wiki home page URL
  • If the landing page is chandlerproject.org - we will have a static page in the works (mimi). There is a separate wiki home page.
  • Need an email to the list that explains these 2 pages, what they are and where they are referenced and the current implementation.
• Rationalizing the wiki content across project
  • Delete the Cosmo home page. Is there content that needs to be migrated. Ted can move content from Cosmo home to the right places.
  • Mimi will log a bug with next actions
• Mimi will send out this summary to the list.

Other

• Jared planned a vacation for the end of August
• Others will need to shadow Jared and learn how to update the Hub
