[17:01:21] <jaheikki3> Time to start qt release team meeting
[17:01:28] <jaheikki3> On agenda today:
[17:01:34] <jaheikki3> Qt 6.3 status
[17:01:47] <jaheikki3> Any additional item to the agenda?
[17:04:19] <jaheikki3> Ok, let's browse through the 6.3 status
[17:04:46] <jaheikki3> Beta3 released 
[17:04:57] <jaheikki3> Branching from '6.3' to '6.3.0' done
[17:05:09] <jaheikki3> RC preparations ongoing
[17:05:56] <jaheikki3> RC content not frozen yet, few blockers still open in Qt 6.3.0 blocker list (https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=23983)
[17:06:32] <jaheikki3> Fixes should be integrating so we should be able to freeze RC content later this week
[17:07:13] <jaheikki3> Target is also to release Qt 6.3.0 RC at the end of this week & final ~ 2 weeks after the first RC
[17:07:45] <jaheikki3> That's pretty much all about Qt 6.3 status at this time. Any comments or question?
[17:07:57] <thiago> not from me
[17:08:14] <vladimir-minenko> Not wrt 6.3
[17:08:35] <vladimir-minenko> I think we also have the pending 5.15.9 LTS
[17:09:44] <jaheikki3> Yes, Qt 5.15.9 commercial LTS preparations are ongoing and the target is to release it during next week
[17:10:29] <vladimir-minenko> Today https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-99852 popped as a blocker even though it was not marked as such. I asked to delist this bug. I see no reason to delay 5.15.9 for this
[17:12:05] <jaheikki3> Yeah, agree. based on my understanding Qt 5.15.9 content is frozen and QTBUG-99852 won't block the release
[17:12:20] <frkleint> besides being fringe platform, cough cough
[17:14:12] <jaheikki3> I think this was all at this time. So let's end this meeting now & have new one tue 29th March at this same time
[17:14:22] <jaheikki3> Thanks for your participation, bye!
[17:14:52] <frkleint> bye
[17:14:55] <frkleint> bye
[17:15:23] <vladimir-minenko> bye!
