   11. Up for review today, we have: (tflink, 17:11:03)
   12. 4 Proposed Blockers (tflink, 17:11:19)
   
   
3. (950700) NameError: global name 'encryption_changed' is not defined (tflink, 17:12:05)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=950700 (tflink, 17:12:08)
   2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, ASSIGNED (tflink, 17:12:10)
   3. AGREED: 950700 - RejectedBlocker, AcceptedFreezeException - Custom partitioning is not part of the alpha release requirements and thus, this does not qualify for release blocking status for F19 alpha. However, it is really easy to hit and would be good to fix - a tested fix would be considered past freeze if it isn't too intrusive or risky. (tflink, 17:16:47)
   
   
4. (950709) Clean pstore at install time (tflink, 17:16:58)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=950709 (tflink, 17:16:58)
   2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 17:16:58)
   3. AGREED: 950709 - RejectedBlocker, AcceptedFreezeException - This doesn't seem critical enough to justify blocking the release of F19 alpha but it is an issue that will need to be dealt with at some point. A tested fix would be considered past freeze for inclusion in F19 Alpha. (tflink, 17:34:29)
   
   
5. (949761) EFI installed system fails to boot (Fedora-19-Alpha-TC5) (tflink, 17:34:41)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=949761 (tflink, 17:34:44)
   2. Proposed Blocker, grub2, NEW (tflink, 17:34:47)
   3. AGREED: 949761 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F19 alpha release criterion for all known UEFI systems which complete an install: "A system installed with a graphical package set must boot to the 'firstboot' utility on the first boot after installation. The firstboot utility must be able to create a working user account." (tflink, 17:42:50)
   
   
6. (947142) write to /sys/firmware/efi/vars/new_var results in ENOSPC (tflink, 17:44:06)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947142 (tflink, 17:44:09)
   2. Proposed Blocker, kernel, NEW (tflink, 17:44:11)
   3. AGREED: 947142 - AcceptedBlocker - While this does not affect 100% of uefi machines, it leaves the system in a bad, difficult to recover place. Thus, accepted as a blocker for F19 alpha due to violation of the following criterion for a non-trivial number of uefi systems: "When using the dedicated installer images, the installer must be able to complete an installation using the text, graphical and VNC installation interfaces." (tflink, 17:59:38)
   
   
7. Go/No-Go (jreznik, 18:02:36)
   1. AGREED: due to severe UEFI related bugs, it was agreed to slip Fedora 19 Alpha for one week (jreznik, 18:09:52)
   2. ACTION: jreznik to announce slip (jreznik, 18:11:48)
   
   
8. Open floor (jreznik, 18:13:03)
