          - Release Concerns / Risks:
                      - StarlingX Intel test team being diverted. Will need to determine a replacement plan.
                               - This is a risk to MS-1 (criteria: High level resources secured) as well as the overall release
                               - Some discussions happening, we'll revisit this in next week's release meeting.
                      - CentOS-8 -- continue discussion from the community meeting on risk and how to mitigate them

Jan 16/2020:
- Resourcing
          - Intel is re-org'ing. Some existing teams are ceasing their involvement in StarlingX and others will be joining the project.
                      - New test team in Romania (Galati)
                               - Right now, the focus is on transitioning sanity from GDC to Galati
                               - There is currently no StarlingX lab in Galati. New manager is working on acquiring hardware.
                      - New dev teams in Bangalore. One dev team remains in Shanghai,
          - Impacted Areas
                      - Storage 
                      - Networking
                      - Test Coverage

- stx.4.0
          - Expect release content to be reduced due to Intel resourcing shuffle.
                      - Target is to deliver ceph containerization without BlueStore
                               - The upgrades impact of BlueStore is technically complex due to the migration to a new filestore 
                               - This needs to be discussed in the next F2F meeting
                      - Other features are TBD
          - TSC discussed today the lack of commitment/resourcing for stx.3 to stx.4 upgrades
                      - This is not staffed and there hasn't been any uptake from the community to take on this work
                      - Need to bring focus to the upgrades area in the next F2F meeting and discuss how we make it a priority
                               - This may mean reducing investment in all other features
          - Need to continue to assess test impact on release activities

- stx.2.0.2
          - OVMF is still waiting on the stx-nova staging change.
          - Also waiting for https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1838659  -- k8s certificate rotation

- stx.3.0.1
          - Not discussed
