+QA Field
-We've been much better about assigning ourselves as QA contact after

-Action: Joel will contact Tollef about getting a “take” option for QA field

*Hard Hacks
+New bugs added, awaiting feedback from developers
+Candidates should be limited to MAB list for the most part but other 
particularly difficult/annoying bugs can be added

*QA Project / Realistic Goal
+ACTION: Joel will work on getting this page started, should include all 
projects (long/short) along with goals and “lead contacts”

*Timestamp for Master Builds
+Action: Petr will look into getting some kind of time stamp in the 
about section of master builds, latest commit date/time is best but 
other option is time of build.
+Bjoern may know something about this as there was discussion a year+ 
ago about doing this

*New Features
+Major concern about new features squeezing through without enough QA 
testing
+Many times QA is unaware of new features until it's too late to test, 
no good list to “test first”
+Action: Joel will ask ESC if they are okay with
-Developers create or use an existing bug and add "feature:<version>" 
flag into whiteboard, e.g "feature:4.1"
*This will help to find a tested even during the development phase
-Developers mention new feature in the release notes once completed; see 
links at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan ;
*mention there the existing bug if exists;
*the bugs has to me marked as FIXED
+QA monitor the release notes page; They make sure that all features 
have assigned bug and that all bugs have the proper "feature:<version>" 
flag; It the bug does not exist, they create it and add the developer 
into CC; the bugs should be marked as FIXED at this stage because the 
feature is ready
+ the bug will be used to track the testing activity and marked as 
verified once it pass testing; it could be used as a meta bug for 
tracking related bugs that breaks using the feature

+Agreed: QA will use “verified” more frequently with FIXED Enhancements 
especially those marked as NewFeature
+Agreed: Comments will be used to show that multiple QA people test new 
features
+Petr brought up moztrap being a possibility to test new features
-Needs further investigation (volunteers needed)

*Talkyoo Broken (skype)
+ACTION: Petr will look into other options as this call two people tried 
calling in using skype but failed to successfully connect
