stx.3.0
- Feature Test
        - Re-test for GPU & QAT is complete. This concludes feature testing for stx.3.0
- Regression Test
        - r/stx.3.0 ISO became available a little later than expected, so Final Regression will go beyond Dec 5.
        - Expect to have 60% done by Dec 5, but will continue into next week.
- Bugs
        - Total critical/high/medium: 46 -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bugs?search=Search&field.tags_combinator=ALL&field.tag=stx.3.0 
        - Critical/High - 12 ...but some are more than 100 days, so we will likely downgrade their priority
- Agreed that the final compile target would be Dec 11
        - Critical/High priority bugs that are not solved will go into a maintenance release
        - Medium priority bugs will be downgraded if > 100 days or moved to stx.4.0
- Docs
        - Ghada to send out a draft release notes
        - Ask Kristal about the docs status for stx.3.0 -- doc initiatives can continue beyond the release dates

- Went through each feature candidate on the list above and updated resourcing / status
        - Currently 19 out of 31 items are resourced
        - Discussed having the PLs identify if there are items they should request help for from the community 
        - Options is to keep a list of items on the wiki or send to the starlingx mailing list
- Unit Test Initiative
        - Bill Zvonar is reaching out to the PLs to determine which domains this is applicable to. Once each team determines what's applicable to their code base, they can define what is a tangible improvement they will target for stx.4.0.
