New business:
=============

Meeting opens at 11:00 with:

buildbot polling seems to be stabilizing, and the load issues 
that were causing heartburn seem to be solved

Housekeeping as to domains; note that the link to the bug 
tracker in these minutes now points to 
http://bugs.linuxbase.org

Discussion of removal of Qt3, in future versions; it will of 
course remain in the database as a required foreign key for 
earlier versions.  Some suggestion of 'normalization' issues 
being present in the existing database schema

Back to the wiki list as to proposed additions:
    https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/en/Uplift_Target

dbus -- bindings to include discussed.  As before, coding 
directly to the native underlying dbus interfaces, rather than 
using the tools in the relevant widget set accessing it, seems 
to be NOT be the preferred method of dbus usage per the dbus 
upstream.  Use the API of the widget set ... which implies for 
the LSB ... ? bug 1857

ncursesw -- bug 1761; no change

sane -- 14 interfaces are in the database, otherwise blocked 
until Glen frees up in June as to test suite matters

Mats: as to deprecation of Gtk+ 2, is there a tracking bug? 
Nope -- one is needed
deprecation of Qt3: bug 3547
deprecation of Python 2 -- conclusion is: not yet -- no bug; 
wiki needs to be updated
deprecation of pax -- bug 2785; Rick notes a need to leave a 
breadcrumb
deprecation of sendmail -- bug 2407

systemd: no discussion bug yet

Call ends at local Noon
