Discussion Topics:
ReleaseNotes project - can we just move to having a set of ReleaseNotes templates up through release, and depreciate the use of the project?
Better logging mechanisms for state, during freeze windows, and image spinning? pad authorization, wiki too cumbersome, other options?
Rendezvous time & state work during final freeze?
Stable Release Team - make sense to fold into release team?
Stable Point Release Planning - review 12.04.1 events. (Freezes, etc.)

Discussion Topics:
ReleaseNotes project - can we just move to having a set of ReleaseNotes templates up through release, and depreciate the use of the project?
- keep release notes project, add a planned scrub at release -14 days to checklist.
Better logging mechanisms for state, during freeze windows, and image spinning? pad authorization, wiki too cumbersome, other options?
- wait and see new pad?
- nusakan - marks image for rebuild before starting rebuild automatically.
Rendezvous time & state work during final freeze?
- Rendezvous time didn't add much value.
Stable Release Team - make sense to fold into release team? yes
- Fold it together.
- make ubuntu release the only members.
Stable Point Release Planning - review 12.04.1 events. (Freezes, etc.)

Size: do we care about oversized. Smaller USB images. Keeping constrained but not required.
Do we go to unstable or stay with testing? approaching freeze, so as long as +1 , probably ok. armel gets sorted.
DebianImportFreeze - --> July 5
KES: 2012/05/31 - subsequent discussions reversed thinking on stable release team and main release team, keeping them separate.
KES: 2012/06/16 - Daviey's pad is being depreciated, so will look to etherpad-lite as next option to try later in cycle.
