Attendees: Jeff, Dan Kohn, Sam, Kay Tate, Marc Miller (SpikeSource), 
Stew, Marvin, Darren Davis, Robert Schweikert, George Kraft, Till, Russ 
Herrold, Mats, Vladimir, Alexey.

Jeff: F2F a success.  Big items for LSB 3.2: Qt 4, printing, ALSA.  Qt 4 
database work seems to be going well, other tasks too.  On printing, 
spec work is ongoing, will need to probably convert the CUPS API docs 
into DocBook and integrate into the LSB instead of referring to an 
upstream doc.  For ALSA, ISPRAS is investigating some macros discussed 
on the mailing list; may be an issue because they use alloca, which is 
not part of the LSB.

LSB 4.0 priorities and schedule discussed at the F2F.  Looking at late 
2008 release, more resources will be allocated.  The ProjectPlan40 page 
has priorities discussed at the F2F; please review and discuss.  Robert: 
enhanced application checkers?  Jeff adds to the high priority list for 
now.  Dan (on IRC): can we update the roadmap to point to the new pages? 
  Jeff notes there are two 4.0 project plan pages; will consolidate and 
update the roadmap.

LSB 3.2.  Robert: add all of fe.h for 3.2 or 4.0?  Mats: most of that 
should be in already, the ones being requested are GNU extensions.

Vladimir: integration of t2c?  Stew: python, perl, printing should also 
be integrated.  Jeff: should get that integrated today on IRC, buth in 
bzr and on autobuilders.

Till: added notes for PPD stuff.  cupstestppd not in all distros; should 
we ship it as an application test for 3.2?  Driver certification is 
basically app certification plus some PPD testing, which cupstestppd 
should do.  Jeff: will look at it, most likely a resource issue, not as 
big a deal for 3.2 because we won't have a driver certification program 
in 3.2.  Still, would be nice, esp. since PPD validation will be important.

Till: foomatic-rip tests not ready until end of week.  Jeff: probably 
OK, lots of stuff getting done at the end of the week.

Jeff: AT-SPI on DBus?  George: still more details needed.

Alexey: libQtDbus?  Jeff: probably not for 3.2; no DBus support generally.
