       - Final Candidate Build for r/stx.2.0 is planned for Monday August 26 pm ET
              - This will also include a docker image build
              - at or near 11:30 PM UTC https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190826T2330
       - Sanity / Test Plan
              - Agreed to have one day of testing on August 27
              - Run sanity on all configurations
              - Run some additional TCs based on the discretion of the test teams
                       - Example looking at recent commits: https://review.opendev.org/#/q/branch:+r/stx.2.0 
              - Ada to send the go-ahead once testing is done
       - What would make us rebuild?
              - Load is broken / RED sanity
              - Bugs that fail re-test will be re-opened and handled in the upcoming mtce release (if high priority) -- they will not result in a rebuild
       - Tagging / Posting on CENGN / Announcement
              - The build will be posted at: /export/mirror/starlingx/release/2.0.0/
              - This is the same build done on Monday pm -- just copied over to the release directory and labeled properly

stx.2.0 Maintenance Release
- Agreed that monthly maintenance releases make sense.
       - We will target the week of Sept 30 as a tentative target for now
- There is no infrastructure in place to generate binary updates against the release ISO
       - This should be noted to users of maintenance releases. Action: Dean to discuss with Ildiko regarding marketing information. Bill to add as a topic on the community call.
- r/stx.2.0 branch expected to re-open for cherrypicks on Sept 3
- Builds will be on demand. Would like to target a weekly build on Monday -- assuming there is new content.
- Sanity Schedule: Next day after the build - every Tuesday
- Regression Schedule: Ada/Numan to work on proposal

stx.3.0
- Milestone-2  -- wk of Sept 2
- Milestone-2 Criteria:
       - Spec freeze
              - Specs are in good shape.
              - Performance Framework spec is posted. R2 >> R3 spec will continue to be an exception.
       - Feature plans defined and feature development well underway
       - Release test plan defined - including test automation deliverables
       - Documentation plan defined
- Test team is raising concerns about the scope of features for stx.3.0 and the release timeline
       - Regression is supposed to start on Sept 23.
       - Only 5 weeks for feature testing 
- Given the tight timeline, we need PLs to provide a risk indicator for landing their feature content. Ideally, a rough plan would help the test team plan accordingly.
       - If a feature is too big to land in stx.3.0, knowing this now helps the test team focus their efforts on the features that will make it.
- Agreed that storyboard will have the list of features being worked for the release.
       - Bill will follow up with the PLs to ensure any missing story boards are created.
