Topics and Discussion

• Meeting began at 10:04 EDT
• The agenda from the previous meeting were informally accepted
• Creation of a standardized testing methodology has been deferred until after the 0810 release

  • DVD Installer
    • It was decided that this feature is a blocker for beta - mostly because of the need to test thoroughly before release
    • The current DVD installer method, which involves VMWare, is not acceptable for 0810
    • A new method using packages cached on DVD should be created
    • totallymaxed will be heading up this effort
• PVR Recording File Structure

  • jondecker76 is heading up this effort
