2) Review Yocto 2011.10 Features - https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_1.1_Features 
  - In general, call for features has ended; however, those interested in adding new items probably have a little time to get them in.  Send Julie a note to inform her what changed.
  - Next steps are maintainers and owners of features will put this into milestones by EO this week (or EO next for those that are traveling).  Julie will send an email on this to maintainers/owners.
3) Review Yocto 2011.10 Schedule - https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_OCT2011_Schedule 
  - Schedule is milestone-based, dates at the top of the milestone.
  - Each milestone will be broken into Sprints by the stakeholders.  Sprints show when code will be committed, but not necessarily all the work that needs to be done to get the code ready.
4) 1.0 Release Criteria review - https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v1.0_Release_Criteria 
- We decided not to do Crown Bay for demo.  Working on getting Sandy Bridge running as a UPnP video renderer.
- Have a critical change to README.hardware that needs to go into the Release Notes.  Paul will email ScottR to get this into Release Notes.  [This is a general issue for next release, which ScottR has also mentioned, that we need a way to update documentation up until the last minute before release.]
