We're having a meeting today in Oldenburg at 1 pm to talk about both immediate release plans and post-sarge d-i stuff. This is just a draft of some things we might want to cover at the meeting.
Release plans:
Come up with a draft release timeline, based on this one:

last day to upload fixes to packages on initrds
8 Oct initrd builds start for rc2
21 Oct initrd builds finish (or earlier..)
last day for uploads of any udebs or debs for rc2
22 Oct udebs propigated to testing (tc1 breaks)
full debian freeze probably starts here

and rc2 release
Current blocking issues for tc2:
- 2.6 red screen of death? (or errata)

And blocking issues for rc2:
