Release meeting agenda / notes July 25 2019
stx.2.0
- Feature Testing Status
       - Tracker: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15us6HWgcb0dmHHZe2SyOR_UI5BvVpoU8TCST0rQd4zg/edit#gid=1717644237 
       - Will still keep this open until container testing for helm overrides & ironic is complete (12 TCs). Ada to provide forecast for completion.
- Regression Testing Status
       - Tracker:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MoBroFimeQjsJvCC_N_DSLYMQsNZVMzTwAVc5tPy_t0/edit#gid=838066175 
       - Ada & Numan are meeting to refresh the status in more detail.
       - Current plan is to finish regression execution by August 2.
- Automated Regression
       - The automated regression results will be incorporated in the regular regression emails starting this week.
       - The Robot TCs are being discontinued, so Intel team will not put effort into fixing any TC bugs. So only Robot TCs that are known to be accurate (no TC issues) will continue to be executed. This is a reduction of about 50%.
       - The focus will be on maintaining the pyTest TCs which is the chosen platform for automated testing. Any TC issues found there will be fixed.
- Bugs
       - As discussed in the community meeting, the proposal for bug priorities are as follows:
              - Critical: must fix by release date (Release Build: Aug 23)
              - High: must be fixed for the stx.2.0 release, but could be fixed *after* the release date (in a maintenance release), fixes will be backported to stx.2.0
              - Medium: continue working until release date - fix as many as possible - defer to 3.0 after release date, fixes will be backported between RC1 and the release date, but will not be backported to stx.2.0 after the release date
              - Low: optional, will be deferred to stx.3.0 at RC1, fixes will not be backported to stx.2.0
       - PLs are reviewing their bug priorities to align to the agreed definitions above:
              - Networking: Done
              - Containers: Done
              - Storage: Follow-up w/ Cindy & Frank
              - Distro.Openstack: In Progress / expected to be done by July 30
              - Distro.Other: Follow-up w/ Cindy
              - Config: Follow-up w/ Dariush
- Branch Creation / Logistics
       - Still on track to create the branch the week of August 5. Ghada to follow-up with Scott & Dean on any logistics prep.
- Release Notes
       - Need to figure out what is needed. Need a prime to help coordinate.
       - Given the scope of the changes in stx.2.0, it makes sense to provide a list of high level features/capabilities in the release (vs detailed release notes).

stx.3.0
Milestone-1 declared last week.
