0810 Short Term Goals

• Defects to address
• Features to implement

0810 Release Scheduling

• Should 0810 have a "formal" release schedule?
  • Consider these sources as examples
    • Ubuntu Gutsy, Ubuntu Jaunty
    • Gnome
    • KDE General Guide, KDE 3.2
  • What milestones apply?
    • Feature Freeze?
    • Code Freeze?
    • Beta release deadline?
    • General release deadline?
• 0810 Update release schedule (jondecker76)
  • Discuss update scheduling for after 0810 is released, as well as the frequency of the updates.
  • Maybe a planned monthly build (similar to how we do the weekly's now) for bugfixes/feature enhancements wouldn't be a bad idea.

High Level Design Discussions

• Discuss possibility of running our own new_install script on www.linuxmce.org and assigning our own installation ID's - (jondecker76)
  • Who knows if and/or when plutohome.com will disappear along with the script that is currently used.
  • Since we are our own entity at this point and very active in changing the direction of LMCE, I'd also like to see us start all over with installation ID #1 starting with 0810.
  • This will cleanly separate us from pluto and provide insurance that we can continue to assign new installation ID's in the future (especially important once linking installations is possible).
  • Old pluto installation ID's can be re-assigned for upgrades from 0710 with a post-upgrade script.
  • This change can be made in a matter of an hour.

Procedural Changes

• Discuss 501(c)(3) filing
• Discuss LinuxFund
• Discuss efforts to improve defect tracking methods (jimbodude)
  • Discuss ways to make sure all defects are reported
  • Discuss ways to make sure all reported defects are addressed in a timely manner
  • Consider re-working current work into LinuxMCE/Trac specific policy
• Discuss effectiveness of future meetings
  • Decide whether to have more
  • Discuss meeting frequency
  • Voice chat? - (Cylon7)
  • Schedule next meeting
