00:13:49 Orel: Andrew, have you said VEP or DRA?
00:14:17 aburden: VEP is next Tuesday. *DRA* has moved to Wednesday
00:16:47 Orel: Thanks
00:18:13 aburden: I'll take this opportunity to spruik our great source of truth:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?src=kube...@cncf.io
Now with release milestones!
00:19:12 aburden: Reacted to "https://kvm-forum.qe..." with 😃
00:28:19 ehaas: Lee, I do not think Kubevirt has an interest to disable all beta features.
00:29:19 Itamar Holder (@iholder101): As a follow-up to Lee's statement: I'm open to discuss that, but just wanted to note that we'll release a list of the non-GA FGs as part of our release artifacts.
00:30:15 lyarwood: Reacted to "As a follow-up to ..." with 👍
00:32:41 aburden: Itamar, is that something we will need to cover in our release notes as well?
00:33:55 ehaas: I think the RN should include the new features, including Alpha and Beta anyway.
00:34:29 lyarwood: It's more disabling the auto enablemeent of beta feature gates beahviour and I believe it is in the intrest of folks downstream to provide a cleaner way of doing this.
00:35:00 Itamar Holder (@iholder101): If there are inaccuracies there - blame Claude :D
00:35:12 dhiller: Reacted to "If there are inacc..." with 😂
00:35:17 ehaas: Reacted to "If there are inaccuracies there - blame Claude :D" with 😆
