There is the Meta issue 87736 to track the potential stoppers for the beta release. If anyone would like to raise an issue for the release, please add the issue id of the issue you want to raise as dependent issue to the Meta Issue and drop a note on releases@openoffice.org, that and why you want to declare that issue as a stopper for releases.

Please note that there is no special IZ target and no cws target for the Beta release. The branch "BEA300" for the 3.0 Beta release will be opened in the week of April 7th to 11th once the childworkspace <changefileheader> has been integrated. Only stoppers for the Beta release will get accepted on that branch.

please also see ReleaseStatus_Minutes#Agenda_for_next_meeting for decision making.
