==Topics and Discussion==
*Meeting began at 10:04 EDT
*The agenda from the previous meeting were informally accepted
*Creation of a standardized testing methodology has been deferred until after the 0810 release
*A formal 0810 release date was not chosen
**This release will have many blockers and pitfalls
**The discussion of a formal release date is deferred until 0810 Beta release
*The [[Bug Reporting]] article will be made more LinuxMCE specific by '''jimbodude'''
*'''possy''' is managing release milestones - no major news there
*Critical defects
**IR/GSD Bugs
***'''jondecker76''' is working on these
**MythTV instability (Trac #195)
***Causes are being investigated by '''jondecker76'''
*Critical outstanding features
**Re-enable Remote Assistance
**Create a deb package for Orbiter
**DVD Installer
***It was decided that this feature is a '''''blocker for beta''''' - mostly because of the need to test thoroughly before release
***The current DVD installer method, which involves VMWare, is not acceptable for 0810
***A new method using packages cached on DVD should be created
***'''totallymaxed''' will be heading up this effort
*PVR Recording File Structure
**All recordings (MythTV or VDR) will be stored in ''/home/public/data/pvr'' - the usual symlinks will be created for each storage device
**MythTV will have storage groups for each user's directory (including 'public') on each storage device
**'''jondecker76''' is heading up this effort
*LinuxMCE-specific Installation Numbers
**Currently, installation numbers are generated by a script running on Pluto's website
**A new installation number generation script will be created and run from a server controlled by LinuxMCE
**New installation numbers will be assigned starting at "1000000"
*LinuxMCE 501c3 Status
**After a few additional signatures, the form will be sent for filing
**'''dlewis'' and '''TCSHAK''' are following up with this
*LinuxFund
**In order to be considered, we must pick focus areas
***Orbiter alternatives
***Media Plug-in debugging/improvements
**'''dlewis''' will follow up with this
*Google Summer of Code
**'''dlewis''' will look into getting LinuxMCE on the list for next summer
*Future meeting scheduling
**A mailing list will be created to facilitate asynchronous communication
**This will help in both meeting scheduling and general communication
**Contact '''jimbodude''' on the forum, IRC, or by wiki-e-mail with your e-mail address if you want to be on it
*Meeting ended at 11:48 EDT
