Ship update message for 2007-09-24<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Schedule: </span><br>This week we are going to finalize the build for Trial-3. We are not putting any more bug fixes in to the code base without approval from Jim or Kim. Jim is reviewing all the bugs from the blocking status through high priority to find the few that still need to be addressed. Kim is looking at all the normal and low priority bugs with the intention of finding a good future release for them. We are about a week behind where we want to be and we expect to drop the first release of OFW (and OS) to Quanta (mfg) at the end of this week.
<br><br>The FRS schedule is right on the tail of this Trial-3 release. People who are not working on the few critical bugs left in trial-3, please start in on the bugs that have been moved into FRS. These fixes will need to be checked into a different stream (Jim, can you provide direction?). It is important that you have a place to check in and test; but these FRS fixes should NOT go into the next Trial-3 build.
<br><br>FRS code freeze is only 3 weeks from today.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Areas of Discussion this week:<br></span>Suspend/Resume updates<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">
